Lupita Nyong'o shares her thoughts on recasting T'Challa for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
, Lupita Nyong’o, who plays a Wakandan spy and T’Challa’s on-and-off girlfriend, opens up about returning to the role amidst grieving Boseman, something incorporated into the film. Writer/director Ryan Coogler and co-writer Joe Robert Cole retooled their script to depict a mourning nation and a new character taking up the title of Black Panther.
“Ryan wrote something that so honored the truth of what every one of us was feeling, those of us who knew Chadwick,” Nyong’o tells. “He created something that could honor that and carry the story forward. By the end, I was weeping.”the role, which has been controversial amongst viewers who were hoping to see T’Challa’s story continue. Nyong’o, for one, supports the choice.
“That is not the death of the Black Panther, that’s the whole point,” she says. “It’s laying to rest [T’Challa] and allowing for real life to inform the story of the movies. I know that there are all sorts of reasons why people want him to be recast, but I don’t have the patience. I don’t have the presence of mind, or I don’t have the objectivity to argue with that. I don’t. I’m very biased.”
