Black Panther Director Ryan Coogler initially planned to put Chadwick Boseman center stage Black Panther 2.
During his performance at the Happy sad confused podcast, Coogler revealed the original script he wrote for the podcast Black Panther continued, saying: “The most important thing about the script was… this thing called The Ritual of Eight… when a prince is eight years old, he has to spend eight days with his father in the bush… They have to go into the bush… without any tools…. And the prince… has to listen and do whatever his father asks of him. But the rule is that for those eight days, the prince can ask the father any question and the father has to answer… And in the course of that, in the course of those eight days, Namor launches an attack… That was what the movie was.”
However, Boseman was never able to read the script.
“What happened was I finished it and… he was too sick to read it, man… He was in a place where it wasn’t… going to happen,” said the Sinners director revealed.
Boseman died of colon cancer in 2020. The sequel’s script was rewritten to include the death of his character T’Challa. The film was released in 2022 Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
