For the unversed, Marvel boss Kevin Feige earlier this year confirmed that Chadwick‘s role of T’Challa would not be recast and the film’s focal point will be the world of Wakanda instead. He was quoted as saying—“So much of the comics and that first movie in the world of Wakanda. Wakanda is a place to further explore characters and different subcultures. This was always and initially the primary focus of the next story.”
