Making ‘Black Panther 2’ Without Chadwick Boseman Was ‘Strange and Sad,’ Martin Freeman Says
he was unaware of Boseman’s illness and had spent the entire previous year “preparing, imagining and writing words for him to say [in ‘Black Panther 2’] that we weren’t destined to see.”Coogler reworked the script and the role of T’Challa was not recast. So what was it like making “Black Panther 2” without Boseman? According to co-star Martin Freeman – who reprises his role as Everett Ross in the sequel – it was expectedly “strange and sad.”“On the one hand, you’re making the film that you’re there to make, and there are scores and scores of people on set, joined in this endeavor to make the film,” Freeman told Collider.
