It’s sure going to be a different movie than originally planned…
From Uproxx:
Black Panther star Lupita Nyong’o has opened up about the daunting prospect of forging ahead with a sequel to the groundbreaking first film following the shocking loss of Chadwick Boseman. The actor passed in August 2020 after a years-long and secret battle with colon cancer, which obviously left a significant (and some might argue irreparable) hole in the upcoming sequel, but Nyong’o recently revealed that writer/director Ryan Coogler has been rising to the challenge of reworking the movie to honor Boseman’s legacy and move the world of Wakanda forward. Via Yahoo:
“And his idea, the way which he has reshaped the second movie is so respectful of the loss we’ve all experienced as a cast and as a world. So it feels spiritually and emotionally correct to do this. And hopefully, what I do look forward to, is getting back together and honoring what he started with us and holding his light through it. Because he left us a lot of light that we’re still going to be bathing in. I know that for sure.”
