Disney’s ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’ is set to be released in November this year - however Chadwick Boseman’s character, T’Challa, has not been recast.

Lupita Nyong’o told The Hollywood Reporter, that making the sequel without the actor was “very therapeutic”, while adding that she’s “proud” they were able to make the film despite the odds.

Nyong’o said: “It’s been a doozy of a few years for everybody.

“For us as a cast, having lost our king, Chadwick Boseman, that was a lot to process, and in many ways, we’re still processing it. When you lose someone, I don’t know when you stop missing them. And of course, we felt it so much, making this film without him.”
