Ryan Coogler, the director of both Black Panther movies, revealed that Boseman’s impact will be felt throughout the film.
“We put our love for Chadwick into this film. We also put our passion. This film has a ton of action and humor. It’s also a roller coaster of a movie. It goes to new places in Wakanda that we’ve never been before but other corners of the MCU,” Coogler said in an interview.
Wakanda Forever will be released in theaters on November 11th, 2022.
