The Black Panther star and the last conversation with the director: “It was clear that something was wrong”

The Black Panther director, who had long ago confessed to thinking of leaving directing following the death of Chadwick Boseman, recalls: “My last conversation with him was a phone call to ask if he wanted to read the Wakanda Forever script before he did. the Studios sent me corrections. It was the last time we spoke and yes, I think he died about two weeks later “.

Coogler continues: “You could tell he was lying down while we were talking, and Simone was with him. He made her leave because he didn’t want him to hear anything that would get him in trouble for her NDA, but she didn’t want to leave him. He understood that something was wrong, in short. But they laughed and joked. They talked about organizing their wedding in South Carolina and how many people they would invite. She asked me about my son, and why he missed the baby shower “.

The Black Panther director speaks of the actor as an immense and impossible-to-forget person, admitting that in the film’s sequel the sense of loss is always strong and present. The harrowing memory of the director adds to that of the fans who meanwhile continue to wonder what the sequel to the first film would have been like if Boseman had been in the same role again.
