It is known that the script for “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” was completed before the death of the late actor Chadwick Boseman, but the actor had not read it.
CNN reported an interview with director Ryan Coogler on November 4th (local time).
Director Ryan Coogler of “Black Panther” said, “Before Chadwick Boseman passed away, the script for ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’ had already been completed. I called Chadwick Boseman as soon as the script was completed and told him that I would send it to him”. The director explained, “I called Boseman and suggested, ‘I just finished the script. I’ll send it to Marvel Studios, so read it before receiving a comment’. But Chadwick Boseman did not read the script”.
The director confessed, “He seemed to be very tired at that time. I tried to get in touch with him for a few days, and when he finally got on the phone, I found out that he had already been lying down. His wife Taylor Simone Bosman was next to him. Chadwick Boseman told his wife to leave for a wife but she didn’t want to. At that moment, I realized that something must have happened”.

Director Coogler added, “Chadwick Boseman said he didn’t want to read the script because he didn’t want to disturb the Studio before they gave a comment. And he said he would read it later. But then I found out that he was too tired to read anything”.
Chadwick Boseman, who played the main character Black Panther, passed away in 2020 after spending four years fighting against colorectal cancer. “Black Panther 2: Wakanda Forever”, the second movie of the series, was completed without King T’Challa Chadwick Boseman. As a result, Letitia Wright, who played T’Challa’s younger sister Shuri in “Black Panther”, leads “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” instead of the late actor.
