More about Black Panther: Wakanda Forever

As the original Black Panther movie was a massive hit, director Ryan Coogler did not have an easy path to replicate the magic in the sequel. Moreover, actor Chadwick Boseman's untimely death in 2020 meant the sequel and Wakanda were both left without the lead. Following the tragedy and to honour Chadwick Boseman, Marvel Studios decided no to recast King T'Challa and asked Coogler to alter the script and focus more on the other main characters of the film, including Shuri, played by Letitia Wright, Okoye, essayed by Danai Gurira and M'Baku, played by Winston Duke. The upcoming movie is one of the most anticipated films in 2022 and is set to release on November 11.
