US Edition'I Put So Much Into That Version of the Movie' — Ryan Coogler Reveals the Black Panther 2 Script Before Chadwick Boseman's Death
Ryan Coogler finished a 180-page original Black Panther 2 script focusing on T'Challa and his 8-year-old son, featuring a Ritual of 8 and Namor as the villain before Chadwick Boseman’s death.
- Recently, Ryan Coogler revealed on the Happy Sad Confused podcast that he finished the original Black Panther 2 script before Chadwick Boseman's death.
- Because Chadwick Boseman was too ill to read the script, Ryan Coogler said Boseman's death forced him to completely overhaul the sequel into Wakanda Forever.
- Coogler explained the Ritual of 8 where T'Challa's eight-year-old son spends eight days in the bush, during which Namor would stage an attack, and he described Namor as a different version in that script.
- Coogler is now developing the Black Panther threequel and recently honored Chadwick Boseman at his posthumous Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony, saying he was deeply affected by discovering Boseman's feelings after his passing.
- When Sony blocked character rights, Coogler wanted Kraven the Hunter but was refused permission; Sony later made its own Kraven film with J.C. Chandor and Aaron Taylor-Johnson.
