Marvel's Kevin Feige says Chadwick Boseman's What If...? episodes influenced Black Panther sequel

The A.V. Club

“We didn’t know it would be his final performance obviously,” Feige told Variety of the late actor on the red carpet for Shang-Chi And The Legend Of The Ten Rings. “He came in numerous times, was so gung ho about it, was so excited about it… He read the episode that airs 24 hours from now and then came back and said ‘I really love this version of T’Challa.’ And we had a conversation after that with Ryan (Coogler, director of Wakanda Forever) about how do we get some of this voice—none of the storyline—but just some of that voice into Panther 2… I’m excited for the fans to see that as well.”
