Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is another Marvel Studios sequel which is expected to be released on November 11, 2022. Black Panther is about to hit the theatres, and fans are still contemplating what changes were possibly made in the movie after Chadwick Boseman’s unexpected demise. The 43-year-old actor died after a brave four-year battle with colon cancer.

As seen in the trailer of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, a war is in progress, and Ramonda, the Queen of Wakanda, was portrayed by Angela Bassett. There is also someone dressed as Black Panther, though it is unclear who he is. Also, women characters will be coming together to protect their nation and Letitia Wright’s Shuri is presumed to play a crucial role in the film sequel.

After Boseman passed away, the movie’s director Ryan Coogler and writer Joe Robert Cole were left with no options but to bring some changes to the script. Following Boseman’s death, the film was “reshaped”. However, it was rumoured that no recasting was done for the character of T’Challa.

When Marvel decided not to recast for the role of T’Challa as Chadwick’s performance was strongly tied to the character, fans showed disapproval on the internet through a campaign. The hashtag ‘RecastTChalla’ took over the internet after Kevin Feige, who is the studio president, announces that Marvel would not recast for T’Challa in the sequel. 

According to Coogler, the original script, which featured T’Challa, was “spiritually very similar” to the final version of the long-awaited sequel. He also added that the theme of this movie is still centred around the idea “How do you carry on in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds?” Something that “became super-relevant when the world lost our Boseman”, he said.
