WakandaForever director Ryan Coogler reveals how past Chadwick Boseman interviews helped him choose the new Black Panther.
After the sad news that Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman had died after battling cancer for many years in secret, one question in everyone’s minds after the mourning process was: “Now what?” The screenplay for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever was already finished, as director Ryan Coogler revealed earlier this month.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the filmmaker said that part of his grieving process was watching tons of videos of Boseman including past interviews. Initially, this helped Coogler understand that the late actor would have wanted the Black Panther team to move on. But he also realized later on that Boseman had a lot to say about how he liked his costar and onscreen sister Letitia Wright.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY “I was looking at that and I remembered the conversations Chadwick and I would have about Letitia all the way back when we were doing chemistry reads with actresses. He really responded to her. And I realized that maybe we could build a film around her character since that was his favorite character. […] You can make the argument that either Ramonda or Shuri is the protagonist, but I knew early on that Shuri would have the biggest arc in the film.
Aside from Wright, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever also features Angela Bassett as Queen Ramonda, Danai Gurira as Okoye, Lupita Nyong’o as Nakia, Winston Duke as M’Baku, Martin Freeman as Everett Ross, Tenoch Huerta as super-villain Namor, Dominique Thorne as Riri Williams/Ironheart, Florence Kasumba as Ayo, and Michaela Coel as Aneka.
