‘Black Panther’ Director<br />Says Chadwick Boseman Would’ve<br />Wanted Them to Keep Filming.<br />Director Ryan Coogler has opened up<br />about the decision to move forward on <br />‘Black Panther 2’ without Chadwick Boseman. .<br />Boseman, star of the original <br />‘Black Panther’ movie, died in August 2020 <br />after a four-year battle with cancer. .<br />Coogler told ‘The Hollywood Reporter’ that<br />the decision was difficult, but he knew Boseman<br />“wouldn’t have wanted [them] to stop.”.<br />It’s difficult. You’ve got to keep<br />going when you lose loved ones.<br />I know Chad wouldn’t have wanted<br />us to stop … He was somebody<br />who was so about the collective, Ryan Coogler, to 'The Hollywood Reporter'.<br />Coogler then spoke about Boseman’s<br />commitment to the franchise and everyone involved,<br />saying ‘Black Panther’ was “his movie.” .<br />Black Panther, that was his movie …<br />On that set, he was all about<br />everybody else. Even though he was<br />going through what he was going<br />through, he was checking in on<br />them, making sure they were good, Ryan Coogler, to 'The Hollywood Reporter'.<br />It’s because of Boseman’s dedication<br />that Coogler felt it would be “harder for<br />[him]” not to go on with production. .<br />So it would be harder for me<br />to stop. Truthfully. I’d feel him<br />yelling at me, like, ‘What are<br />you doing?’ So you keep going, Ryan Coogler, to 'The Hollywood Reporter'
