Lupita Nyongo, who appears in “Black Panther/Wakanda Forever” as she did in the previous film, said that making the film helped her process her feelings about the death of Chadwick Boseman.

Chadwick Boseman, who played the main character in the first “Black Panther” film, died of cancer in 2020 at the age of 43. The news came as a shock to many, as he had kept his diagnosis a secret from the public.

Lupita, who recently appeared on the Marvel Cinematic Universe panel at San Diego Comic-Con, spoke to The Hollywood Reporter on Sunday about filming the sequel without Chadwick.

She said, “It’s been a tough couple of years for everybody, and for us as a cast, losing our king, Chadwick Boseman, is a lot to process, and in a lot of ways we’re still processing.” When you lose someone, you never know when you will lose your feelings for them. Of course, making this film without him, we feel it so much.”

The special trailer for “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” has been released and shows Ramonda, T’Challa’s mother and the wife of the previous king T’Chaka, sitting on the throne, and the people of Wakanda trying to overcome their grief at losing him and move forward strongly.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” opens in Japan and the U.S. simultaneously on Friday, November 11.
