Ryan Coogler first considered quitting filmmaking during the tragedy, but after deciding to continue, he had to devise a means to make the picture without its star.
The result is a heartfelt homage to Chadwick Boseman and a tale of loss, grieving, and coping with loss, with plenty of action and, of course, a few surprises along the way.
Lupita Nyong’o reprises her role as Nakia, King T’Challa’s love interest, which presented challenges on and off the set.
“Without Chadwick, it felt hollow,” she told.
“However, I was happy that we did not have to leave our pain at home.
“This ensemble was designed to examine grief. The plot was designed to examine mourning. Each character experiences grief in a unique manner.
“Playing Nakia was therapeutic; playing her was therapeutic.”
In the sequel to Black Panther, global powers strive to steal the rare metal vibranium from the fictitious country of Wakanda, which is the only place in the world where vibranium is found. vibranium enabled Wakanda to become the most technologically advanced country in the world.

FBI agents stir the flames of conflict in their search for vibranium, but Everett K. Ross, portrayed by Martin Freeman, has a soft spot for the Wakandans.
He laughs as he tells me he doesn’t want to be a Wakandan but is content with being a good ally.
