Feige Says The Sequel Will Honor Chadwick Boseman
Feige also talked about the film and how it will honor the legacy of Chadwick Boseman. He said that the director “poured his heart and soul” into it which is “a tribute to [Boseman].”
He said, “part of that you’ll see in the movie honoring the character and by extension the man, but also honoring it by continuing the legacy and the story.”
Earlier, he had talked about not recasting the role of T’Challa after Boseman’s death. “It just felt like it was much too soon to recast“, he said. “Stan Lee always said that Marvel represents the world outside your window. And we had talked about how, as extraordinary and fantastical as our characters and stories are, there’s a relatable and human element to everything we do.”
Feige further added, “The world is still processing the loss of Chad. And Ryan poured that into the story.” ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’ is slated to release in the United States on November 11.
