Even though Chadwick Boseman, well known for playing Black Panther, passed away, his influence may still be felt today. He developed a sizable fan base after portraying the king of Wakanda in the MCU, and fans missed him in the follow-up film, Black Panther Wakanda Forever.
It was challenging for the filmmakers to make the film without Boseman, just as it was challenging for spectators to accept that he would not be viewed as Black Panther. Read how late actor Chadwick Boseman inspired the crew in this statement from a Marvel executive.
Nate Moore, a Marvel executive, spoke during a producers’ roundtable that The Hollywood Reporter hosted about the difficulties the film’s production team faced. The Marvel executive insisted that he helped director Ryan Coogler get over his loss and put himself in the best possible frame of mind for production. Moore claims that Chadwick Boseman alluded to Star Wars in the MCU movie.
