'The tonal shift, I will say, was less of a shift than in [casting],' Ryan Coogler says
"The tone was going to be similar," he later added."The character was going to be grieving the loss of time, you know, coming back after being gone for five years. As a man with so much responsibility to so many, coming back after a forced five years absence, that’s what the film was tackling. He was grieving time he couldn't get back. Grief was a big part of it."
After Boseman passed away in August 2020 following a private battle with cancer, Coogler revised the script and changed the story. However, he said that Namor the Sub-mariner "was always the antagonist." "There were other characters, for sure, that we considered including. Namor was always there," the filmmaker told Inverse.
Ultimately, Coogler said,"Who the protagonist was, the flaws of the protagonist, what the protagonist was dealing with in their journey. All of that stuff had to be different due to us losing him and the decisions that we made about moving forward."Okoye and the Dora Milaje fight to protect their nation from intervening world powers in the wake of King T'Challa's death.
Introducing Tenoch Huerta Mejía as Namor, ruler of a hidden undersea nation, the film also stars Dominique Thorne, Michaela Coel, Mabel Cadena and Alex Livinalli."
