New idea artwork from Black Panther: Wakanada Forever reveals off an unused search for Daniel Kaluuya’s W’Kabi.
The first Black Panther film featured the Marvel Cinematic Universe debut of Academy Award winner Daniel Kaluuya as W’Kabi, the husband of Danai Gurira’s fan-favorite Okoye. During the occasions of Black Panther, W’Kabi betrayed T’Challa (performed by Chadwick Boseman) and aligned himself with Erik Killmonger (Michael B. Jordan) earlier than dropping and being exiled from Wakanda.
While W’Kabi was purported to return in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Daniel Kaluuya was unable to reprise the position resulting from scheduling conflicts with the Jordan Peele-directed horror film Nope. Wakanda Forever idea artist Niek Schlosser has revealed how W’Kabi would have appeared like within the film with a surprising piece of idea artwork. You can try the paintings beneath.
Wakanda Forever was directed by Ryan Coogler from a screenplay he co-wrote alongside Joe Robert Cole. The movie stars Letitia Wright, Lupita Nyong’o, Danai Gurira, Winston Duke, Florence Kasumba, Dominique Thorne, Michaela Coel, Tenoch Huerta, Martin Freeman and Angela Bassett.
Two years after the discharge of Black Panther and T’Challa’s return in Avengers: Infinity War and its follow-up Endgame, Chadwick Boseman, the actor behind the fan-favorite character, handed away on the age of 43, following a four-year battle with colon most cancers. Marvel made the choice to not recast T’Challa, along with his sister Shuri taking up the Black Panther mantle.
In Heroic Hollywood’s assessment of the film Ryden Scarnato wrote “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever picks up after the events of Avengers: Endgame, with T’Challa’s death becoming permanent due to Boseman’s real-life passing and the story now following the world of Wakanda dealing with that grief. While the film is an ensemble, it ultimately rests on the shoulders of Letitia Wright’s Shuri and Angela Bassett’s Queen Ramonda.”
“When it comes to performances, everyone here is at the top of their game, and you can’t help but think that’s because of how intertwined the film is with real life. With Wright and Bassett serving as focal points, the two are the strongest of the bunch, with incredibly personal moments that are some of the most heartfelt we’ve ever seen in the MCU. Shuri’s larger role in the film, in particular, also works for those who might have reservations.”
