\tMarvel Studios president Kevin Feige has opened up about not recasting the role of T’Challa in the Black Panther <\/em>sequel Wakanda Forever <\/em>after Chadwick Boseman’s death.<\/p>\n

\n

\tIn an interview with Empire, Feige insisted Boseman needed to be honored, not replaced, in Ryan Coogler’s follow-up movie.<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

\t\u201cIt just felt like it was much too soon to recast. 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. The world is still processing the loss of Chad. And Ryan poured that into the story,\u201d the Marvel Studios boss told empire<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n

\tStan Lee and Jack Kirby created the character of T’Challa\/Black Panther in 1966. After Boseman died of colon cancer in August 2020, Marvel and the filmmakers were forced to reconceive Black Panther 2<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n

\t\u201cThe conversations were entirely about, yes, ‘What do we do next? And how could the legacy of Chadwick \u2014 and what he had done to help Wakanda and the Black Panther become these incredible, aspirational, iconic ideas \u2014 continue?’ That’s what it was all about,\u201d Feige said.<\/p>\n

\n\tWakanda Forever <\/em>is Coogler’s follow-up to his 2018 movie that became a cultural touchstone and earned a best picture Oscar nomination. Coogler wrote a sequel for black<\/em> panther <\/em>star Boseman that pre-dated his untimely death. <\/p>\n

\n

\tSo Coogler and Marvel Studios got to work on how to move forward while honoring Boseman’s legacy.<\/p>\n

\n\tWakanda Forever<\/em> stars Lupita Nyong’o, Wright, Winston Duke, Danai Gurira, Florence Kasumba, Bassett and Martin Freeman, as well as Marvel newcomer Tenoch Huerta as Namor and Dominique Thorne as the hero Riri Williams.<\/p>\n

\n\tBlack Panther: Wakanda Forever<\/em> is set to hit theaters on Nov. 11th.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
