Lupita Nyong’o opened up about what it was like to discover the rewritten “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” script while processing the death of Chadwick Boseman.
In a special interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Nyong’o, who reprises the role of Nakia — a fighter, activist and lover of T’Challa, the king of Wakanda [Boseman]” — in the upcoming “Black Panther” sequel, recalled a Zoom meeting she had with writer-director Ryan Coogler regarding his plan for the new script, which previously centered on Boseman’s character and evolution as a powerful warrior.
Instead of recasting T’Challa, given that the script was “very much rooted in [his] perspective”, as Coogler noted, the writer and his co-writer, Joe Robert Cole, decided to pen a new script that would include the leader’s death and reframe the story from another character’s perspective, essentially a different Wakandan becoming Black Panther.

“Even just talking about ‘Black Panther’ in the midst of still grieving Chadwick, it was really complicated emotionally to do,” she continued. “Ryan wrote something that so honoured the truth of what every one of us was feeling, those of us who knew Chadwick.”
