The world of Black Panther is still reeling from the tragic loss of Chadwick Boseman, who passed away in August 2020 after a long battle with cancer. As the sequel to the critically acclaimed franchise prepares to hit theaters, fans are wondering how the film will honor the legacy of its beloved star. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter in March 2021, director Ryan Coogler revealed that Boseman would have wanted everyone involved in the franchise to continue making movies without him.

Coogler's sentiments were echoed by Letitia Wright, who played Shuri in the first film and will reprise her role in Wakanda Forever. In a statement to Argentinean outlet Clarin in November 2020, she expressed her gratitude for Boseman's impact on the franchise, saying 'There's only one Chadwick and he's not with us.' Marvel executive Victoria Alonso has also confirmed that the studio has no plans to digitally recreate Boseman's image for the film.

The decision to press on without Boseman is a testament to his enduring legacy as T'Challa, the King of Wakanda. As Coogler noted, 'Our king, unfortunately, has died in real life, not just in fiction, and we are taking time to see how we continue the story and what we do to honor this chapter of what has happened to us that was so unexpected, so painful, so terrible, really.' The new film promises to be a fitting tribute to Boseman's memory, while also introducing new characters and storylines to the world of Black Panther.

With Wakanda Forever on the horizon, fans are eagerly anticipating the next chapter in this beloved franchise. As we say goodbye to T'Challa, we can only hope that the film will live up to the high standards set by its predecessor and honor the legacy of its star in a meaningful way.
