Black Panther Star Winston Duke Talks Movie Remake

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever star Winston Duke opened up about the future of the movie franchise.

In an interview with Esquire published on Monday, Duke, who plays M’Baku in the movie, spoke about the possibility of a remake.

“There’s no way they’ll never remake Black Panther in the future. There’s no way that the saga and interpretation of T’Challa, King of Wakanda, will end. He is canon. So trust that it’ll come. But allow this to be a human experience,” he said.

He also spoke about his frustration with fans who are persistent on replacing Chadwick Boseman, who played King T’Challa in the movie, after his death from colon cancer in 2020.

“They center their own need for a character when none of this would be possible if the people who brought this to life didn’t participate, from behind the scenes to in front of it,” he said.

Duke also shared that “when he passed away,” was supposed to start shooting in a month or two.”

Duke is not the only co-star grieving the loss of Boseman.

Lupita Nyong’o, who plays Nakia in the movie, got candid about how she felt after Boseman’s death.

“I experienced a whole lot of grief and disillusionment,” she said.

She also added that his death left her with a lot of questions.
