Inspiration from Late Co-star Chadwick Boseman
Wright also opened up about an accident she suffered while on the sequel's set.

She spoke about how his perseverance in the face of life's challenges resonated with her, eventually motivating her to get back on set and complete her role. By taking some of Boseman's spirit with her, she was able to overcome her obstacles and create a memorable performance.
Marvel Continues the Legacy of Black Panther
Even though a third Black Panther movie is not officially confirmed, Wakanda Forever did pave the way for multiple sequels. The ending scene hinted at the return of the Black Panther. Marvel Studios also seem to keep the franchise's momentum up with two upcoming series.
Disney+'s Ironheart series will carry forward the Wakanda Forever narrative, focusing on Riri Williams' story (played by Dominique Thorne). This series is suspected to be released in 2025. Marvel is also working on an animated Black Panther spin-off, Eyes of Wakanda which delves into the history of Wakandan warriors retrieving dangerous vibranium artefacts.
Without a doubt, Black Panther continues to be a monumental franchise in the Marvel Cinematic Universe whose legacy and narratives are being expanded. With potential sequels, spin-offs, and even the recurrence of fan favorites such as Shuri, the franchise's future appears brighter than ever for its worldwide audience. Stay tuned for more updates!
