The biggest question is what kind of film we will get in the wake of Boseman's death. It will be similar to how the real life cast and crew felt when making the film when they lost their king. The current iteration of the November film won't be a big departure from the original film, according to the director- writer.
"How do you carry on in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds?" is the central question of the film. When Boseman was alive, that question drove the original pitch, which he said was "spiritually very similar" to the final film. When Boseman died, the question continued to guide the movie, but under a new light. He said that making the film required him to make a film that would highlight their talents more than the original one. I wanted to figure out a song that they could still get up there and sing.
There was apprehension among the cast going forward because of the focus on the supporting cast. The dread was due to the fact that the film was first intended to be. It was hard for her to believe that we could continue after he died. She said that the film would honor Boseman and T'Challa, which she called "utterly honest and beautiful." I was crying by the end of it.
The film will be released in theaters on November 11.
