Honoring the king, Chadwick Boseman who died of colon cancer in August 2020, director Ryan Coogler reworked the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever script to write out the late actor’s character.
The sequel, which hit theaters on November 11, picks up with Shuri (Letitia Wright) rushing in her lab to find a way to save her brother’s life, who is struggling offscreen. The princess has a model of his DNA projected, and she tries various ways to alter his genetics. None of them have a high rate of success, but King T’Challa’s (Boseman) heart rate is growing faster, her computer says. He needs a solution now. She doesn’t go to be by his side, determined to save him rather than watch him die. Their mother, Queen Ramonda (Angela Bassett), comes to the lab to tell Shuri that T’Challa has died.
