Here's our spoiler free conversation with BlackPantherWakandaForever director RyanCoogler We talked about deleted scenes, the inspiration behind his films' antagonists, 'Creed III,' and what's next for him.
On the heels of his first Marvel Studios film, 2018’s Oscar-winning Black Panther, writer-director Ryan Coogler was tasked with a near-impossible follow-up. Having already penned a draft of the film’s sequel prior to the death of friend and star Chadwick Boseman, Coogler returned to the drawing board to craft a story that would both honor the late legend, and also continue the journey for the film’s strong cast of characters.
RYAN COOGLER: I mean, I'm not answering that, bro. I'm not answering that. Yeah, that's crazy. I mean, I'll answer what it was like. I'll answer that. Fantastic. That's what it was like. I was filled with a lot of pride for Mike [B. Jordan], for Jonathan [Majors], for Tessa [Thompson], for Phylicia [Rashad], and for the young star that everybody's about to meet that plays Amara. I was filled with a deep, deep, deep sense of pride.
One of the things that I really commend you on one both films is having a great villain. Both times I feel like I understand their motivation and I believe in what they're saying. For you, what's the secret in creating a great villain?Yeah, I said the wrong word. That's what makes Namor, I think, so cool in the books. In most publishing runs of him, he's very arrogant. But you also know he has the capability to do what he's saying he's going to do. He walks in in his underwear and says, "Hey, I'm going to kill everybody." But you believe it because you know he is capable of it.
Nate [Moore] mentioned that you had a number of really cool deleted scenes. What do I need to do to get them either on Disney+, or how can I see them?
