So far, things have been working according to plan in the MCU with every instalment in Phase Three gaining critical acclaim and box office success. One of the biggest of these movies was Ryan Coogler's Black Panther, which won an Oscar and became an instant hit. The fans are excited about returning to Wakanda in the upcoming sequel, although the unfortunate and unexpected death of Chadwick Boseman has changed the studio's plans. We have received confirmation that Coogler won't be recasting the role to honour Boseman's legacy, and recently actress Angela Bassett shared her opinion about this decision.
She said, "It's a tremendous loss but [President of Marvel Studios] Kevin [Feige] and the Marvel universe and Ryan [Coogler], the director, the writer from before, they are committed to telling [a story] and equally as much as we can, equally planned. So we are looking forward to that. Looking forward to what they come up with. That's interesting. Well I had not thought about that idea, but of course, it is Wakanda and they are, in terms of technology, they are so far ahead of the rest of the world that they would be able to bring some of that.
