Ryan Coogler<\/a> is opening up about his original script for Black Panther 2<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The filmmaker recently revealed in a new interview that he sent the late Chadwick Boseman<\/a> the original script, but the actor was too sick to read it.<\/p>\n

\u201cI finished it, and I hit him up to read it, and he was too sick to read, bro. That was kind of how the timing was,\u201d Ryan said on the Happy Sad Confused podcast<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He also opened up more about the original idea, which of course, was altered after Chadwick passed away in 2020 from colon cancer. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe big thing about the script was a thing called the Ritual of 8 where, [when] a prince is 8 years old, he has to go spend 8 days in the bush with his father,\u201d he shared. \u201cThe rule is for those 8 days the prince can ask the father any question and the father has to answer. During the course of those 8 days, Namor [Tenoch Huerta<\/a>] launches an attack \u2026 and it was a different version of Namor in that script, but he had to deal with someone who\u2019s insanely dangerous, but because of this ritual, his son had to be joined at his hip the whole time \u2026 or else they\u2019d have to violate this ritual that had never been broken. It was insane, and Chadwick was going to kill it, but life goes as it goes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI loved that script. I put so much into that version of the movie because I felt like I had gotten to know Chadwick as a performer,\u201d he added. \u201cI threw a lot at Chad in the first Panther, but I realized I was just scratching the surface.\u201d<\/p>\n

If you missed it, Ryan is set to return for a third Black Panther movie and he addressed rumors<\/a> that Chadwick\u2018s character T\u2019Challa would be recast. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m in it for my heart. I got this movie on my heart,\u201d Ryan said of skeptics of a third installment. \u201cAnd yeah, from the outside looking in, you might say, \u2018Man, why this f\u2013king dude making another one of those?\u2019 But that\u2019s totally fine, that question makes sense. And it\u2019s my job as a filmmaker to show why.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last month, Ryan helped unveil Chadwick\u2018s star<\/a> on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ryan Coogler is opening up about his original script for Black Panther 2.
