‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’ director explains how Chadwick Boseman was honored on set

When Chadwick Boseman passed away in August 2020, it didn’t just devastate fans of the Marvel Comics Universe. It was especially difficult for those who were all set to work with the actor again on the sequel Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. And though the studio had to find a way around T’Challa’s absence, the crew of the film choose to honor Boseman’s legacy while shooting the film.

In a chat with ScreenRant, director Ryan Coogler recalled an early zoom meeting about the movie, where his assistant director Don Sparks made the suggestion of leaving the number one on the call sheet blank for Boseman. The simple yet heartfelt idea was enough to remind Coogler of the impact the Marshall star had on everyone, even if they didn’t get to work in close proximity with him.
