His last work was the movie "Da Five Bloods", which was released by Netflix this year. As for his most famous work, he was the superhero character "Black Panther" in the Marvel films, with the film "Black Panther" headed by him. He came from his heroism and played the character "Tichala", the king of an imaginary African country, and the superhero who tries to protect his country from the evils of the world.
Loss or crisis?
Hollywood's loss was not limited only to the lack of one of its bright stars, but to its falling into trouble following this death, the death of the stars a few years ago was dealt with by the audience entering into mourning, before they return to see the works of these artists, the matter has changed today with all series of films The outstanding, which the public awaits completion on the one hand, and its makers want to capitalize on its success and reap profits from it on the other hand.
So, for example, the death of a star the size of Robin Williams, as much as it was painful.
Some even did not pass it so far, but it did not cause a cinematic crisis, such as the death of Paul Walker, one of the "Fast & Furious" heroes, or Carrie Fisher, one of the "Star Wars" series.
But it seems that the makers of those series have learned the lesson with time the hard way, although they resorted to some techniques and tricks following the death of Walker during the filming of the seventh part of the series, and make digital adjustments to many pictures and sound tapes and use an alternative to maintain the presence of the hero in the events;
But they now provide real substitutes and supporting heroes who are fit to jump, and to play the title role at any time without disturbing events.
For example, according to what was reported in Forbes magazine, in the event that Paul Rudd was unable to complete his role in the series "Ant Man" for any reason, there is actress Evangeline Lilly who is fit to become his successor as a superhero, and star Chris Hemsworth who He plays the superhero "Thor" in the series of the same name. He can be replaced by the character "Jane Foster" by Natalie Portman or "Valkyrie" played by Tessa Thompson.
The same could happen if Marvel needs to replace Iron Man in the Iron Man series, as they can, with a short phone call, assign the title to Gwyneth Paltrow, who plays the series as Pepper Butts, or even Don Scheidle with the role. Rhodes.
So, despite all the pain being felt by the makers of the "Black Panther" series, the decision to find an alternative solution to Bosman's absence without affecting the continuation of the series or the logic of events is not difficult.
In fact, the alternative is already on the table, with Letita Wright playing "Shuri".
Does the audience accept the alternative?
Certainly, the matter is not left to the audience only, but the producing company itself as well, especially since the first part of "Black Panther" achieved $ 1.4 billion in revenue in a precedent that no superhero movie had ever achieved before relying on only one hero, and therefore the sacrifice of this privilege Huge commercial is unexpected.
Masses, with all the love that viewers have for Bosman, their passion for cinema and their curiosity about the artwork, the completion of the plot and the events are greater and more lasting.
Perhaps the best proof of this is what happened recently after he assigned the role of "the Joker" to the star Joaquin Phoenix, for whom he won the Oscars, the British BAFTA and the Golden Globe as the best main actor.
Although the audience refused to let Phoenix play the role as a successor to Heath Ledger, who presented the same character in the movie "The Dark Knight", and died before its presentation, and if he won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, the work makers managed to pass the idea and actually implement it. Betting on the public's desire to know what happened to the character and follow her life path.
This has proven its success not only artistically, as the work ranked 58 in the IMDb list of the best 250 films in cinema history, while the audience gave it an evaluation of 8.5 degrees according to the site itself, but even in terms of revenues that exceeded 1.1. One billion dollars of the total budget ranged between 55-70 million.
Black Panther 2
For all of the above, the project for the exit of the second part of the movie "Black Panther" to light remains in place, until it is scheduled to be released in May 2022, although no information about it is available so far except that it was written and directed by Ryan Kugler, the maker of the first part. The work belongs to the category of action with a mixture of adventure and drama.
Legend.
Warrior.
King.
