Additionally, Chadwick Boseman, who played the role of Wakanda’s King T’Challa, recently passed away in August 2020. There will be no replacement for his role and he will not be added digitally in Black Panther 2. This was confirmed by Marvel Studios producer Nate Moore who spoke about the absence of Chadwick and Black Panther 2. He said:
“When [Chadwick] passed, there was a real conversation we had with [director Ryan] Coogler about what do we do, and it was a fast conversation. It wasn’t weeks, it was minutes of discussing how we move this franchise forward without this character because I think we all feel so much of T’Challa on the screen is tied to Chadwick Boseman.”
