Ryan Coogler just gave fans an update on Black Panther 2 and he says it’s been very hard to move on without Chadwick Boseman. The MCU director stopped by Jemele Hill’s Unbothered podcast to talk about the upcoming film. When they asked how the writing and planning were going, he was blunt in his assessment. It is plainly impossible to underplay how difficult it is to imagine a Black Panther sequel without Boseman at the center. But, that is the task at hand for Coogler and his team with this project. Fans knew that things would be very different this time around when the legend passed away next year. Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige came out firmly in support of Boseman’s family and reiterated that they would not be recasting T’Challa in the MCU. However, Black Panther 2 is one of the most anticipated projects on the slate, and the director has to find an avenue forward. So, while the task is difficult, Coogler is still confident they can meet the challenge.
