Meanwhile, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige paid tribute to the late, great Chadwick Boseman towards the end of their presentation at Disney Investor Day on Thursday. He also confirmed that Boseman’s character of T’Challa will not be recast in Black Panther II.
Feige said, “I wanted to acknowledge the devastating loss of a dear friend and member of the Marvel Studios family. Chadwick Boseman was an immensely talented actor and an inspirational individual who affected all of our lives professionally and personally. His portrayal of T’Challa the Black Panther is iconic and transcends iteration of the character in any other medium from Marvel’s past.”
He added, “To honour the legacy that Chad helped us build through his portrayal of the king of Wakanda, we want to continue to explore the world of Wakanda and all of the rich and varied characters introduced in the first film.”
