Film company Marvel Studios has some difficult decisions to make as it plans the sequel to Black Panther. The 2018 release was Hollywood’s first major superhero film centered on Black characters. It was nominated for seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture. It won three Oscars. In the film, Chadwick Boseman starred as T-Challa, who rules the imaginary African nation of Wakanda as the Black Panther with his superpowers. Critics praised the actor for his performance and he was expected to return to the part in the sequel. But sadly, Boseman died of cancer on August 28. He was 43 years old. Writers, professors, and activists spoke to Reuters news agency about the cultural importance of the movie and Boseman’s performance. Some said Marvel should honor Boseman by retiring the character of T-Challa and choosing another character to name as Black Panther.
