Grief from Chadwick Boseman's death endures like a punch to the gut for those who worked with him on Marvel's "Black Panther" and witnessed the void in its new sequel. His "Black Panther" co-stars had to soldier onward for "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever", finding themselves thrust into the center of the story without their intrepid leading man. The film, directed by Ryan Coogler, reintroduces the women of Wakanda as they confront feelings of retribution and resilience amid their grief, following T'Challa's death from an illness. "I experienced a whole lot of grief and disillusionment," says Lupita Nyong'o, who stars as Wakandan spy and T'Challa's love interest Nakia, "and just wondering 'What is life about?' and 'How do we move forward?' and 'What does it all mean at the end of the day?' and 'What is this make-believe, and why is it worthwhile?'" #blackpanther #chadwickboseman
