No actor could replace Chadwick Boseman in 'Black Panther'

When Chadwick Boseman died in late August 2020, many

fans wondered how Marvel Studios would handle the disappearance of the lead actor from one of its most popular franchises.

Obviously, the architect of the MCU, Kevin Feige, and Ryan Coogler, the director of the first opus and its sequel,

, have long asked themselves the question too… They finally decided not to give the role of T' Challa to another actor.

On the contrary, they chose to pay tribute to the deceased star in the film.

“I had the impression that it was much too early to redo a casting.

Stan Lee has always said that Marvel represents the world beyond your window.

And we had discussed the fact that, as extraordinary and fantastic as our characters and our stories are, there is a human element in everything we do.

The world is still digesting the loss of Chad.

And Ryan put that into the story,” the producer told

magazine .

Legacy

Not enough to give crucial information on the orientation of this

, but Kevin Feige is certain that the spirit of Chadwick Boseman will be present for fans in this new film.

"The conversations were all about 'What do we do next?'

And how could Chadwick's legacy – and what he had done to make Wakanda and Black Panther such incredible, inspiring, iconic ideas – continue?

That's what it's all about,” added Kevin Feige.

Starring Letitia Wright, Lupita Nyong'o, Danai Gurira, Angela Bassett, Winston Duke, Dominique Thorne, Tenoch Huerta (his first appearance as Namor),

is out November 9.
