The film is a bit different from a regular superhero film as it deals with the grief of losing someone. The film shows King T’Challa’s death and leaves the fans and the characters mourning the death of the Black Panther and Boseman. Coogler acknowledged the same in his heartfelt note and said that he made the film to honour his friend. In the end, he thanked his audience for giving him a ‘professional purpose’ and an ’emotion outlet’, he also ensured to bring more stories in future.

Chadwick Boseman was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2016 and he passed away in 2020. The film began with T’Challa’s death and takes the audience on a journey of mourning and silence. The film was released on November 11 and starred Lupita Nyong’o, Danai Gurira, Letitia Wright and Angela Bassett while introducing Tenoch Huerta as Namor, Mabel Cadena as Namora and Dominique Thorne as Ironheart.
