Of course, questions still remain over how Marvel will move forward with Black Panther 2, most notably over the extent to which we’ll get a digital double for Boseman’s character. The general consensus so far is that Letitia Wright’s Shuri will take on the mantle of the Wakandan hero, although there have also been reports of multiple versions of Black Panther showing up in future MCU movies. In addition, T’Challa’s departure will reportedly be dealt with in Captain Marvel 2, with other future pictures factoring in the changes to Wakanda, and how the power and responsibility of his role will be passed on.
Those wanting to remember Boseman’s life can catch up with a recent memorial special, while his final role in Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom will be available on Netflix from next month. Outside of his own film, all four of Black Panther’s appearances in the MCU are similarly available via Disney Plus, from his memorable debut in Captain America: Civil War, to the important contribution of T’Challa in Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. Meanwhile, we expect to see more celebrations of Chadwick Boseman emerge today and again in subsequent years to mark his passing and future birthdays.
