Black Panther Sequel Surpasses Original on Streaming
10 Feb
Summary
- Wakanda Forever is reportedly more popular on streaming than the original.
- Director Ryan Coogler reworked the sequel's story due to Chadwick Boseman's death.
- Black Panther 3 is confirmed with Denzel Washington potentially involved.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe's "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" is outperforming the original "Black Panther" on streaming platforms, a fact that has surprised director Ryan Coogler. This sequel's narrative had to be entirely reimagined after the unexpected death of star Chadwick Boseman, with production proceeding while the team navigated their grief.
The original "Black Panther," released in 2018, was a critical and commercial success, establishing T'Challa as a beloved character. "Wakanda Forever," while also successful, has resonated more with audiences on Disney+. This could be attributed to the established characters and the film's profound exploration of grief.
Looking ahead, "Black Panther 3" is in development with Ryan Coogler leading the project. While details are scarce, Denzel Washington has indicated that a role is being written for him. Additionally, several "Black Panther" characters, including Shuri and M'Baku, are slated to appear in the upcoming "Avengers: Doomsday."
