Ryan Coogler, Letitia Wright, Lupita Nyong'o & cast discuss WakandaForever's emotional impact, introducing new characters & more.
From director Ryan Coogler, the latest installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever sees Wakandans figuring out what’s next when it comes to protecting their nation in the wake of King T’Challa’s death.
KEVIN FEIGE: The shock turned into, “Well, what do we do? What should we do? Should we do anything?” Relatively soon, it was determined that this amazing ensemble of characters, and this world that had been created on screen, needed to continue. And Ryan pours everything, and all of himself, into everything he does. Ryan had been working for almost a year on a version of the movie with T’Challa in it. He was pouring his life experience from making the first movie into that.
So, we follow on from that. What does that look like, when your heart is broken? It was just Ryan’s guidance on, how do we create a full arc of this human being, this young woman going through something alongside her fellow family members, in general, and Wakandans. With the way it was written and the gentleness of how we approached it, and how we always spoke and communicated, every step of the way, we were able to bring something that felt real and truthful.
WRIGHT: It was so much fun. I was really excited for Dominique [Thorne] and her performance. She is incredible. Riri is so much fun. I just love the fact that we get a beautiful opportunity to see another Black young girl just be a genius, and be at school doing her thing and inspiring so many. That was a cool connection. There were so many cool scenes between myself, Dominique, and Danai. Those were some of my most favorite scenes. I couldn’t cope on set.
