In a recent interview with Variety, Michael B. Jordan was asked about Marvel Studios' latest video revealing Black Panther: Wakanda Forever title. He admitted that he hadn't seen the video and was then informed about it. After getting the information, the actor called the Black Panther sequel name nice and awesome, noting that he likes it.
Jordan said that Marvel does "great, amazing work" and the characters are awesome. He stated that everyone took a hit with the loss of Chadwick Boseman. So for the studios to try to figure out how to move forward, he knows it’s not an easy thing to do. He explained that the fact that the company settled on a title and figuring out this story, he thinks is truly incredible. Jordan asserted that if anybody could figure it out, it is director Ryan Coogler and Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever cast include Letitia Wright, Danai Gurira, and Martin Freeman reprising their role of Shuri, Okoye, and Everett K. Ross, respectively. Chadwick Boseman who portrayed the King of Wakanda in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) will not be reprised. His character as T'Challa will be retired from the MCU, honouring the actor's legacy. Lupita Nyong'o, Daniel Kaluuya, Winston Duke, and Angela Bassett are also expected to return to the MCU.
