Before the film was rewritten after the death of Chadwick Boseman, the sequel to Black Panther would have focused on the events of Avengers: Endgame.In an interview with Inverse, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Director and Screenwriter Ryan Coogler says while the story has shifted in the wake of Boseman’s death, the original screenplay for the Black Panther sequel was always going to be about grief, as it would have dealt with the fallout of Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame; both of which focused on Thanos’ plan to eliminate half of all life using the Infinity Stones.
