Leak reveals how ‘Black Panther 2’ will address Chadwick Boseman’s death

[Chris Smith]

• A new report from an insider familiar with Marvel’s plans explains how Chadwick Boseman’s departure will be addressed on screen.
• The actor died before starting work on Black Panther 2, the sequel to the iconic superhero movie Boseman starred in a few years ago.
• Marvel confirmed a few days ago that it would not recast T’Challa as a way of honoring the actor.

Chadwick Boseman passed away in late August after a secret bout with cancer that lasted several years. Only the people close to the beloved actor were aware of his medical condition, reports said at the time. Boseman played many of his iconic roles while battling the illness, including King T’Challa in the standalone Black Panther movie and the two massive Avengers films that concluded the Infinity Saga. Boseman was supposed to star in Black Panther 2 along with other MCU crossovers, but his untimely death ruined those plans.

Disney and Marvel did not comment on the future of the Black Panther character at the time, as fans took to social media asking the studio not to recast the role. Instead, fans wanted Shuri (Letitia Wright) to become the next leader of Wakanda and take over as Black Panther. Speculation followed as to how Marvel would address the passing of the baton, just as leaks indicated the studio would not recast T’Challa. Kevin Feige confirmed those rumors a few days ago without saying who will replace T’Challa, but one leaker might have the scoop. Beware, what follows might contain a significant spoiler.
