Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’s official podcast featured a story of how Ryan Coogler came to meet Chadwick Boseman. Ta-Nahesi Coates spoke to his friend about the upcoming film. During their talk, it was revealed that the Black Panther star had been laying the groundwork for his eventual solo debut long before Coogler stepped foot on the scene. Back in the Captain America: Civil War days, the star was already asking tough questions of decision-makers about Wakanda’s specific styling. Things like how the character would speak and the little nods toward the country’s larger culture. Cleary, Boseman believed in his vision so much that he was willing to plan most of it out ahead before things even really got rolling on the solo project. Check out what the director said right here.
