Feige Comments on Black Panther 2 Plans
With the runaway success of Black Panther it was no surprise that Marvel Studios immediately greenlit Black Panther 2. However, with the tragic passing of Chadwick Boseman last year, fans wondered if an how the sequel would be made. Deadline spoke to Marvel chief Kevin Feige about a great many things, including this issue.
"So much of the comics and that first movie is the world of Wakanda. Wakanda is a place to further explore with characters and different subcultures. This was always and initially the primary focus of the next story, "Feige said. "We’re not going to have a CG Chadwick and we’re not recasting T’Challa. Ryan Coogler is working very hard right now on the script with all the respect and love and genius that he has, which gives us great solace, so it was always about furthering the mythology and the inspiration of Wakanda. There’s also the task of honoring and respecting the ongoing learnings and teachings from Chad as well."
Since Black Panther is a title that can be earned, it's possible another character will take on the mantle, and some are speculating that that would be Shuri, played by Letita Wright.
