In the year 2020, on August 28th several fans of the Black Panther were deeply disheartened due to the death of the lead actor Chadwick Boseman. Chadwick passed away due to a disease known as colon cancer, he was diagnosed with cancer in the year 2016. Although he was suffering from the disease for the past four years, he never gave up on his filming career. He was awarded by the Screen Actors Guild for outstanding performance in a motion picture in the year 2018. In the past four years, he appeared in four MCU films.
Several tributes were given to this amazing actor who led the Marvel Universe on a completely new path. The social media was raged up by several tributes and tweets to the man we knew as the Black Panther. Marvel even went ahead and created a video to pay tribute to the departed man. Chris Evans formerly known as Captain America stated Chadwick had a lot of work to be done in the Marvel Universe that would change everything as we know it. Furthermore, Robert Downey Jr famously known as the Iron Man applauded Boseman for the fight he put out to save his life from cancer.
Fans over the world are now concerned about the role of Boseman in the upcoming movies. The main question remains is who will step up into the shoes of the Black Panther, all we know is that T’Challa will not be recast. Few actors could step up to the role of Black Panther, but the most probable as of now appears to be Shuri. Shuri plays the role of the Black panther’s sister and is a tech genius in all of Wakanda.
It has been clearly stated that Ryan Coogler is currently in the works of writing and directing a sequel to the 2018 movie. The sequel would be named ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’; Kevin Feige the main man behind the Marvel Universe recently stated in the Black Widow global fan event that everyone is keen to bring out the world of Wakanda back to its fan very soon. He also stated that the sequel would be made in such a way that it would make Boseman proud.
The initial film that was released in 2018 had a budget of a little over 200 million dollars but made over a billion dollars worldwide. Additionally, it was the only Marvel movie that has the best review on Rotten Tomatoes of 96%. This tells us that Black Panther is by far one of the greatest movies Marvel has ever made. It would be a great disappointment if Marvel discontinues this series.
The uplifting news for the fans worldwide is that production has begun for the sequel in Atlanta. The movie is scheduled to release on July 8th, 2022. Although, things remain unclear about how Marvel will continue the movie and storyline. All we can expect is a completely fun and thrill-packed sequel in the coming year. Hence, let’s patiently wait for the sequel Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
