Disney Grapples With How to Proceed on 'Black Panther' Without Chadwick Boseman
Outside of family, only a small group of insiders was aware of the Marvel star’s battle with cancer, and now studio executives are grieving and figuring out a way forward.
On Aug. 28, Marvel chief creative officer Kevin Feige received an urgent email regarding Chadwick Boseman, with no further information. Unbeknownst to anyone at the studio, the Black Pantherstar had been battling colon cancer privately for four-plus years and had taken a sudden turn for the worse. By the time Feige read the message an hour later, Boseman already had died, sending shock waves through Disney and the tight-knit Marvel Cinematic Universe.
A source close to Boseman tells The Hollywood Reporter that the 43-year-old actor, who had become noticeably thin in recent months, was convinced until about a week before his death that he was going to beat cancer and would be able to gain the weight back for a Black Panther sequel that was scheduled to go into production in March. The actor was even set to prepare for the new film beginning in September.
Disney sources say the company is processing its grief and that its focus at this stage is to pay tribute to Boseman and not on the making of a Black Panther sequel. Only a handful of non-family members knew that Boseman was sick, including producing partner Logan Coles, longtime agent Michael Greene, trainer Addison Henderson and 42 director Brian Helgeland — with varying degrees of knowledge about the severity of the actor’s condition. No one involved with Black Panther was aware, says asource. It was Boseman’s wish to keep his cancer battle private.
Many are left wondering how Boseman kept his diagnosis under wraps while shooting a film with a colossal budget like the $200 million Black Panther in 2017 (the filmopened the following year and went on to earn $1.35 billion worldwide and was nominated for a best picture Oscar). But film finance attorney Schuyler Moore says a Marvel star wouldn’t likely require a medical examination for insurance purposes.
Most observers agree that Disney has several options. One is to replace Boseman, which could generate afan outcry and prompt inevitablecomparisons between actors. Even with a scheduled release date of 2022, already iffy due to thecoronavirus pandemic, few actors may be willing to take on thatchallenge. The second option, which may be more tenable, is to make T’Challa’s sister, Shuri(Letitia Wright) the new BlackPanther. That scenario also aligns with events portrayed in one of the comic book series on which thefilm is based.

Earlier this week, we told you about a petition which was gaining steam online requesting that a Confederate memorial in Chadwick Boseman's hometown of Anderson, South Carolina be replaced with a statue of the late actor. Now, TMZ has received word from a spokesperson in Anderson Mayor Terence Roberts' office that a permanent public tribute is indeed in the works.
While the Mayor doesn't have the power to remove that Confederate monument (it requires a two-thirds vote from the state legislature), the site reports that "the city is enthusiastically working on a permanent public tribute to honor the late actor."
They note that the city has "already contacted an artist and they're brainstorming ideas on how best to honor the hometown hero who played legendary roles. We're told the statue will include a mix of sculpture with mural and/or art elements." They go on to explain that the public will get some input, while the spokesperson later added that the monument will be "suitable for a king."
It was also confirmed this week that the Black Panther star will have a scholarship named after him at his old school, T. L. Hanna High School in South Carolina. With any luck, this monument become a reality, because the actor - who privately battled cancer for four years - deserves to be memorialised.
We can only hope Disney and Marvel Studios find a similar way to permanently honour Boseman.
