Ryan Coogler talks about filming 'Black Panther' sequel without Chadwick Boseman

Ryan Coogler, who had the fortune of working with Chadwick Boseman in Black Panther paid homage to the late actor.

In a recent chat, Coogler said, "It’s difficult. You’ve got to keep going when you lose loved ones. I know Chad wouldn’t have wanted us to stop. He was somebody who was so about the collective.”

The famed director went on to express how Boseman was supposed to reprise the role in the now untitled film.

"Black Panther, that was his movie. He was hired to play that role before anybody else was even thought of before I was hired before any of the actresses were hired.”

Coogler recalled the time he got to spend with Boseman on the set.

“On that set, he was all about everybody else. Even though he was going through what he was going through, he was checking in on them, making sure they were good. If we cut his coverage, he would stick around and read lines off-camera. So it would be harder for me to stop. Truthfully. I’d feel him yelling at me, like, ‘What are you doing?’ So you keep going," he concluded.
