BlackPanther's Ruth E. Carter opens up about honoring Chadwick Boseman in Wakanda Forever's memorial
Black Panther costume designer Ruth E. Carter actually spoke about how the new movie honors Chadwick Boseman this week. In an interview with Variety, she laid out how they chose to approach the funeral scene that has been discussed on social media. Interestingly, Carter melded both real-world experience and MCU history for the costumes in that moment. Fans will remember Boseman's trip to the Ancestral Plane in Black Panther.
"In the Ancestral Plane, when T'Challa wakes up and sees his father, he's wearing white," Carter explained to the outlet."White is a color that's worn in a lot of funerals in Africa — it's either bright red or it's white — and we chose white because it connects us to Chadwick, to T'Challa." How Will Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Honor Chadwick Boseman?The sequel's star, Letitia Wright, has been adamant about how this movie will honor Boseman's legacy. In fact, all of the cast has been extremely vocal about how this was a stated goal for the project. Wright plays Shuri in Wakanda Forever, and she had a very special bond with the man who played her brother on-screen.
"It was hard for me to imagine being on set without my brother. It was something I was battling for months," Wright shared."The confidence that Ryan [Coogler] felt that he heard Chadwick just give him that gentle push forward, to continue. And the way that Ryan would express that it was bigger than all of us, and Chad would have wanted us to continue. That really encouraged me. I have so much confidence. I love Ryan.
