After Chadwick Boseman’s untimely passing, Black Panther 2’s cast was severely depleted.

Black Panther 2 will still have a lot of familiar faces in it, despite the absence of its star.

Namor, played by Tenoch Huerta, is the film’s main antagonist and the first male mutant in the MCU, with Ms. Marvel’s TV show dropping hints that she, too, is a mutant.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Story
Queen Ramonda (Angela Bassett), Shuri (Letitia Wright), M’Baku (Winston Duke), Okoye (Danai Gurira), and the Dora Milaje (including Florence Kasumba), fight to protect their nation from intervening world powers in the wake of King T’Challa’s death in Marvel Studios’ Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Embracing a new era is important to the people of Wakanda, and in order to do so, the heroes must work together with War Dog Nakia (Lupita Nyong’o) and Everett Ross (Martin Freeman) to pave the way.
Starring Tenoch Huerta, Michaela Coel, Mabel Cadena, and Alex Livanalli, the film introduces its audience to Namor, king of a secret underwater nation. Even though Marvel Studios usually keeps plot details for their upcoming Marvel movies under wraps, that hasn’t stopped fans from speculating furiously about this highly anticipated blockbuster.

After deciding against recasting the role, T’Challa has been written out of the story, which will instead center on other characters. It’s possible that Shuri (Letitia Wright), like in the comics, will inherit the throne of Wakanda and become its protector. Wright had previously stated to PORTER that the thought of reprising her role was “strange” and that it took her some time to get over Boseman’s death.
Her words were, “We’re just still mourning Chad, so it’s not something I even want to think about. It seems odd to try to recreate Black Panther without him. We’re just grieving right now; the challenge is to look for the bright spots. This is a problem that producers are facing as well.
Producer Nate Moore said on the Phase Zero podcast for ComicBook, “I think we’re going to see the movie through two lenses, pure entertainment and also cathartic.” “I think this movie has different sort of pressure on it, obviously with the loss of Chadwick, which was unexpected and unprecedented in a way narratively,” he continued.
