Bassett said in July that the screenplay was still undergoing changes due to Boseman's death, and had gone through at least five incarnations. She also indicated that the first film's co-writer Joe Robert Cole was contributing to the sequel, [88] which Feige soon confirmed. [89] Michaela Coel joined the cast in an undisclosed role. [90] In August, Isaach de Bankolé was set to reprise his role as the Wakandan River Tribe elder, [28] and Dominique Thorne began filming scenes for Wakanda Forever as Riri Williams before starring as that character in the Disney+ series Ironheart. [91] Filming that month was expected to take place at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and in Worcester, [82] [92] with the production preparing to film a car chase in Worcester by August 18. [82] [93] A chase scene was filmed in the Ernest A. Johnson Tunnel on August 23 and 24.

T'Challa, king of Wakanda, is suffering from an unspecified terminal illness which his sister Shuri believes can be cured by the " heart-shaped herb". Shuri attempts to synthetically recreate the herb after it was burned by Erik Killmonger, [a] but fails to do so before T'Challa dies. Wakanda Forever wastes no time in doing just that, with the entire pre-credit sequence being used to establish what happened to T’Challa in-universe, and to bid him a rueful and heartfelt farewell. There’s never been anything else quite like it in the history of cinema: while the characters are mourning the loss of T’Challa, the actors who play them are mourning the loss of Boseman. It’s not so much a funeral as a celebration of life, and it simultaneously honors both the character and the actor. It’s an emotionally powerful opening sequence that sets the tone for the rest of the film, on every possible level. Even the Marvel logos are used to commemorate how much that Boseman meant to the studio, and they’re difficult to watch without shedding a tear not just for Boseman, but also for everyone who loved and admired him. I mean there's no way that BP at the end is Shuri, right? Even without the actress's antics, I'd think she's way too small in stature. Ranno, Katie (November 13, 2022).

A powerful warrior and leader of Wakanda's mountain tribe, the Jabari. [7] Duke indicated that following the Jabari's involvement in the events of Avengers: Infinity War (2018) and Avengers: Endgame (2019), the tribe is no longer isolated from the rest of Wakanda. He also felt M'Baku was trying to figure "out how to move forward" in this new world for Wakanda, much like many in the real world were trying to do in regards to the COVID-19 pandemic. [12] Namor’s single-minded determination sets events into motion that result in Wakanda Forever appearing to devolve into the typical epic CGI-laden battle that concludes far too many Marvel films, but in this case, the battle is necessary to show the consequences of decisions made by the leaders of the rival nations involved. Their refusal to compromise with each other makes conflict inevitable, and to resolve it, those leaders need to resolve their own personal differences. They’ve both been seeking vengeance for legitimate reasons, but that’s a quest that always results in collateral damage and the loss of innocent lives. The only way to stop it is to show real personal strength by finally being able to let go of the past. It’s an appropriate way to end Wakanda Forever, because it brings T’Challa’s journey full circle. When he originally appeared in Captain America: Civil War, he was seeking revenge for the death of his father King T’Chaka, first against a person who was wrongly accused of the crime, but eventually against the person who was truly responsible. Yet at the last moment, he stays his own hand, because he finally recognizes what his quest for revenge has done to him:

Production started at Trilith Studios in Atlanta, Georgia, on June 29, 2021, [83] under the working title Summer Break. [84] Prior to Boseman's death, filming had been set to start in March 2021. [57] At the start of filming, Feige announced that "everyone" from the first film was expected to return. [83] Autumn Durald Arkapaw serves as the cinematographer, after doing so on Marvel Studios' Disney+ series Loki, replacing the first film's cinematographer Rachel Morrison. [85] A long time collaborator of Coogler's, Morrison planned to return for Wakanda Forever but was unable to due to a scheduling conflict with her film Flint Strong caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. [86] Discussing the use of anamorphic lenses as opposed to spherical lenses, Coogler explained that anamorphic lenses "warp the image a little bit", which fit with the film having "the fog of loss over it"; a "profound loss... can warp how you look at the world". [15] Arkapaw used Panavision T Series anamorphic lenses which were specifically modified by Panavision. [87] Wright, Gurira, Nyong'o, and Kasumba bonded together on set while dealing with their grief for Boseman's death, with Wright and Gurira particularly connecting through taking walks together. Gurira described feeling emotional while entering the throne set, as she remembered filming scenes with Boseman during the first film, and said that Coogler helped her process her grief. [74]
