The latest work by Chadwick Boseman , who died last August from colon cancer, as T’Challa / Black Panther has not yet seen the light. It will do so with the Disney + premiere of the animated series Marvel’s What If…? , one of the titles that Casa de las Ideas is preparing for the streaming platform.
The interpreter, leader of the cast of Black Panther but whose career also highlighted his roles as baseball icon Jackie Robinson and musician James Brown, lost the battle against cancer at the age of 43 on August 28, four years after having been diagnosed with the terrible disease and having passed, according to his family after the actor’s death, through “countless surgeries and chemotherapy cycles.” The news was greeted with great regret by the industry and, of course, by viewers and all of their fans around the world.
His last on-screen performance took place in the Netflix film The Mother of Blues , directed by George C. Wolfe and released on the platform on December 18, but Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige has confirmed to Emmy Magazine that Boseman had lent his voice to the King of Wakanda in the animated series What If…? . His last appearance as Black Panther took place in the Avengers: Endgame movie and Marvel already confirmed last November that a digital version of Chadwick Boseman would not be used for the sequel Black Panther 2 .
As described by the streaming platform , What If …? will join the ever-growing roster of Disney + original series as an animated anthology that will explore hilarious alternate realities from various Marvel stories.
