We’ve got a fresh perspective on the insight into not bringing the character of T’Challa back to Black Panther 2: Wakanda Forever.
MCU VP of Development Nate Moore told Van Lathan Jr. on his podcast that T’Challa won’t be returning. “We couldn’t do it.”
This is big news because while everyone knew that the death of Chadwick Boseman meant that he wouldn’t be returning, some reasoned that T’Challa could be recast. But Moore makes it pretty final in how he explains what the Marvel Cinematic Universe had to think about.
Will T’Challa Be Back For Black Panther 2?
“I would say that the chances that you see T’Challa — you will not see T’Challa in the MCU universe.,” Moore said, adding that the conversation about it with director Ryan Coogler was “minutes” rather than hours or days.
“I think we all feel so much of T’Challa on the screen .. is tied to Chadwick’s performance,” Moore said. “At no point did we consider recasting. So the challenge of Black Panther 2: Wakanda Forever is telling the story without T’Challa and I think it’s a challenge we’re up for.”
MCU VP of Development Nate Moore puts to rest any discussion about recasting the character of T’challa as Black Panther. Says he talked with Ryan Coogler about it, and “we just couldn’t do it” more on @RingerVerse. T’challa is gone guys you agree or no? pic.twitter.com/MYoWKyqlmF

Black Panther 2: Wakanda Forever is one of Marvel’s most eagerly anticipated movies. Marvel Studios is filming in Atlanta, Georgia. Casting calls have already began as well. The movie’s producers began production in July 2021.
While we have been privy to a few details about the movie,, such as the debut of the Sub-Mariner and plot rewrites, there is still a lot to know! The most recent news is that I May Destroy You star Michaela Coel has joined the movie, according to Variety.
With that being said, here is what we know about Wakanda Forever.
Let’s look into that and more details from what will surely be a blockbuster film from Marvel Studios.
Black Panther 2 Wakanda Forever: Here’s Everything We Know
Black Panther 2 is set to move on without the lead actor for King T’Challa, Chadwick Boseman, who succumbed to cancer in summer 2020. Since then, fans have wondered how the epic African superhero tale will go on.
As for how the film will deal, Marvel is careful to pay tribute where appropriate.
Speaking recently at a fan event in Los Angeles, Marvel exec Kevin Feige says, “It’s clearly very emotional without Chad,” according to Variety. “But everyone is also very excited to bring the world of Wakanda back to the public and back to the fans. We’re going to do it in a way that would make Chad proud.”
The Atlanta-filmed movie broke records when it was released in 2018, becoming the first in the Marvel Cinematic Universe with an African-American lead.
When Will Black Panther 2 Be Released?
Marvel Studios has revealed that Black Panther 2 will be released on July 8, 2022. The film also now has an official name: Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
Much has been said about the role of Shuri (Letitia Wright) and how she could become the next Black Panther for continuity’s sake, but Marvel has yet to reveal how it will be handled.
Will Chadwick Boseman Appear In Black Panther Sequel?
Moore confirmed that Boseman won’t appear in the film, but earlier, Marvel had repeated that Boseman’s likeness will not appear in CGI or any form, which is something the cast feels strongly about, including director Ryan Coogler.
Cast member Lupita Nyong’o told Yahoo Entertainment “And his idea, the way which he has reshaped the second movie is so respectful of the loss we’ve all experienced as a cast and as a world. So it feels spiritually and emotionally correct to do this. And hopefully, what I do look forward to, is getting back together and honoring what he started with us and holding his light through it. Because he left us a lot of light that we’re still going to be bathing in. I know that for sure.”
Will Michael B. Jordan Appear In Black Panther 2?
One of the standout performances in the first film was Michael B. Jordan’s Killmonger character. Although Killmonger died at the end of the movie, there’s a slight chance he could come back.
Here’s what Jordan told Jess Cagle’s SiriusXM show: ““I’m gonna have to go with a solid 2. I didn’t want to go zero! Never say never. I can’t predict the future.”
Will Namor Be In Black Panther 2?
Reportedly Marvel has reportedly casted Mexican actor Tenoch Huerta to play Namor in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Huerta is most known for his role in Narcos: Mexico.
Photo credit: Marvel Comics Does this mean that a Sub-Mariner movie could be in the works for the MCU? Interested minds want to know!What Will Be The Plot Of Black Panther 2?
According to CBR.com, the plot for Black Panther 2: Wakanda Forever has leaked. Here’s what they report:
Both Wakanda and Atlantis are hidden civilizations with advanced technology and increased militaristic abilities that decided to separate themselves from the rest of the world for their own safety, and in a way, out of fear. Wakanda feared that their technology would be abused. Atlantis feared that surface dwellers would come and desecrate the mythical city just as they did so many years ago. And yet their fears escalate even further when these two once-hidden nations clash with each other. Wakanda and Atlantis have a shockingly intertwined history. Wakanda is the only county in the world with access to vibranium. However, rumors of its power spread throughout the world, and Namor’s human father was sent searching for this rare material in Antartica…”

That’s when we can expect to see Season 3 episodes, according to comments from FX executive John Landgraf.
He said in a recent interview that the comedy-drama’s third season just wrapped filming. That means Season 4 has begun shooting in earnest.
Landgraf, speaking during the Television Critics Association Summer Press Tour, said, “We haven’t locked down the scheduling for Season 3 yet as it just finished shooting. It was shot primarily in Europe. It’s in post-production and it’s a lengthy post-production process and part of that is because they’re currently in production of Season 4 in Atlanta. All of the scripts for that season have been written.”
Atlanta was a top-rated show featuring Donald Glover and Lakeith Stanfield. But filming never resumed after Glover lost his father.
The series production team along with actors all are set to travel to Europe, where both Seasons 3 and 4 will reportedly be shot. Filming is expected to begin on April 5.
When Will Atlanta FX Return? Read This
So when will Atlanta return? Glover took to social media in April 2021 to say:
“Atlanta Season 3 comes out probably the beginning of next year.”
Glover made the comments in a random musing released on audio.

— Maurício (@MauricioRodrix) April 30, 2021
The popular show began production in March 2021. Glover signed an eight-figure deal with Amazon that includes his own content channel on Prime.
Both of the next two seasons are being filmed one after the next, which is something that they had planned to do even before the pandemic began.
In early 2020, John Landgraf, chairman of FX Networks, spoke at the Television Critics Association press tour in Pasadena, California.
Landgraf said that the next two seasons will debut in 2021. But not only, that he indicated that Seasons 3 and 4 will be linked as a “Part 1 & 2” arrangement.
What we also know is that Season 3 will be 10 episodes and Season 4 will be eight episodes. If it’s going to be all part of one story arch, it makes sense that the seasons will be all shot in sequence.
According to Esquire magazine, the show’s new seasons hint that they will focus on the music career of Paper Boi, played by the magnificent Brian Tyree Henry.
Landgraf also tipped his hand to let us know that a large part of Seasons 3, 4 or both will be shot in a foreign country.

Let’s look at each of the main characters and their legacies.Michelle PFeiffer As Betty Ford
First Lady Betty Ford was known as one of the most outspoken first ladies that have ever been in the White House. Her liberal stances on many social issues caused some stinging rebukes from Republicans despite her husband’s attempts to appear as a moderate.Mrs. Ford also helped raise awareness for women’s issues like breast cancer after she underwent a mastectomy in 1974. She also did a lot to make treatment for drug abuse more acceptable among the public, rather than a strictly criminal issue.Gillian Anderson As Eleanor Roosevelt
For much of her time in the White House, Eleanor Roosevelt was seen as a controversial figure, mainly for her unwavering support of civil rights for black Americans.She also knew how to charm the media outlets in the day. She was adept at giving regular news conferences, she wrote a magazine column and even hosted a radio show.Viola Davis As Michelle Obama
As the only two women who are contemporaries, Davis and Obama have a lot in common.Obama, the wife of the nation’s 44th president, Barack Obama, is the only first lady that is a lawyer. Despite enduring racial attacks from her own constituents, Mrs. Obama adopted a “when they go low, we go high” mantra. She took on obesity among the youth and became a staunch advocate for clean eating and exercise.When Will The First Lady Come On?

Are you ready for Black Panther 2 and the other superhero movies coming soon? Marvel Studios has previewed its production schedule through the next couple years, with many of the big-name projects expected to be filmed in Atlanta.
Disney and its streaming service Disney+ figures to play a key role in many of the productions, which have already been spotted filming around Atlanta.
Disney’s plans also involve Fox and Pixar, but a whole lot of Marvel. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic happened, pushing back mostly everything.
To understand how production schedules coincide with Atlanta, we first have to gather a keen knowledge of Marvel’s “Phase 4.”
What Is Marvel’s Phase 4?
Marvel’s Phase 4 refers to all of the Marvel Studios productions that will be released in the three-year period beginning with 2021 and ending in 2023.
Here’s a video Marvel Studios released on May 3 that previews what’s coming down the pike over the next couple years.
Phase 4 began on the small screen with the release of WandaVision and will start on the big screen with Black Widow in summer 2021.
Marvel Studios’ Phase 4 comes on the heels of the most successful run in the company’s history: Phase 3. That phase saw such tentpole titles of Endgame, Thor: Ragnorok, Captain American: Civil War and Black Panther.
Here’s What To Know About Marvel Production Dates In Atlanta
The success of WandaVision has shown Disney that it can score with a tentpole title in the streaming space, but the cinematic experience continues to be the ideal way to show a movie.
The beloved Marvel franchise was perhaps hardest hit because many of the movies are dependent on others. We’ll have to see how it pans out.
Marvel Releases 4-Year Production Schedule
Ms. Marvel, Moon Knight and She-Hulk all have been mentioned as future Marvel projects, but nothing has been confirmed.
Navigation: Marvel Movie Productions
Disney as well as Marvel is making a concerted effort to include more representations of people of color. And it will only get better through the years.
Right on the heels of WandaVision, the MCU jumps right back into the action with The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, which follows the events in Endgame.
The majority of the scenes from The Falcon and the Winter Soldier were filmed in metro Atlanta, specifically at Trilith Studios in Fayetteville just outside Georgia’s largest city.
If you remember, 2020 was supposed to kick off with “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.” But it, like most titles, was delayed. when it does debut, it will be Marvel’s first Asian-American led superhero film.
