The legacy of the character Black Panther will continue, but not with someone new in the iconic role. Marvel Studios said Thursday that it will not recast the character played by the late Chadwick Boseman. "(Boseman's) portrayal of T'Challa the Black Panther is iconic and transcends any iteration of the character in any other medium from Marvel's past," Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige said during his presentation at Disney Investor Day. The sequel is scheduled to be released July 8, 2022, and will be written and directed by Ryan Coogler. "Black Panther" made more than $1 billion globally in less than a month after its 2018 release.
