Chadwick Boseman’s death had come as a huge shock to not just the cast of Black Panther, but to every member of Marvel Studios and its fandom. While the work on the sequel of the first Black Panther film was still in the works, his tragic passing had rendered the future of this franchise unclear. However, the recent interview given by Lupita Nyong’o to Good Morning America has given little hope to its future, but the actor believes that the sequel won’t be the same because of Chadwick’s absence.
