The inspiration behind this video:
After months of delays, production on Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is reportedly set to resume with only four weeks of filming left to complete. The hotly anticipated sequel to 2018’s critically acclaimed Black Panther starring the late Chadwick Boseman, work on a second film was officially confirmed at 2019’s San Diego Comic-Con with Boseman expected to return as the titular hero. However, in August 2020 Boseman sadly passed away from colon cancer, with director Ryan Coogler and Marvel Studios reportedly unaware of the actor’s illness prior to his death. Deciding not to recast the role of Boseman’s T’Challa, instead, the filmmakers opted to shift the focus onto the other characters featured in the first film. More emphasis was also placed on T’Challa’s sister Shuri, played by British actress Letitia Wright.
Filming officially began in June last year, with Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige revealing that changes to the script were also still being undertaken due to Boseman’s passing. The production would later experience another setback in August that year when Wright sustained shoulder injuries and a concussion while filming a stunt on location in Boston. While filming continued for some time without Wright, allowing her time to fully recover from her injuries, production was put on hold in November. Work was expected to resume again on January 10 this year, but that schedule was then affected by several cast and crew members testing positive to COVID-19 including Lupita Nyong’o.
