After months of delays and other setbacks, work on BlackPanther2 is set to resume and make a valiant sprint to the finish line. The MCU sequel reportedly has just 4 weeks of filming left.
After months of delays, production on Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is reportedly set to resume with only four weeks of filming left to complete. The hotly anticipated sequel to 2018’s critically acclaimed Black Panther starring the late Chadwick Boseman, work on a second film was officially confirmed at 2019’s San Diego Comic-Con with Boseman expected to return as the titular hero.
Filming officially began in June last year, with Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige revealing that changes to the script were also still being undertaken due to Boseman’s passing. The production would later experience another setback in August that year when Wright sustained shoulder injuries and a concussion while filming a stunt on location in Boston. While filming continued for some time without Wright, allowing her time to fully recover from her injuries, production was put on hold in November.
Beginning with Boseman’s tragic passing, work on this Marvel sequel has certainly been visited by more than its fair share of problems. Not only has Coogler and his team had to work around Wright’s injuries, but they also experienced the death of another cast member in the form of 95-year-old Dorothy Steel, who plays the Wakandan Merchant Tribe elder, in October last year.
When Wakanda Forever does finally hit screens in November this year, it will undoubtedly join a select group of well-known films whose behind-the-scenes woes provide a tale almost as interesting as the movie itself. However, with some of the best art often evolving from a place of struggle, no doubt Coogler and the Black Panther 2 team will be doing their utmost to honor Boseman’s and Steel’s legacies and deliver a film destined to wow audiences.
