Att göra en Black Panther-uppföljare utan den bortgångne Chadwick Boseman visade sig såklart vara en utmaning för regissören Ryan Coogler, som ju lyckades knåpa ihop en historia men som tvingades kasta mycket av storyn från det tilltänkta manuset. Han avslöjade nyligen vad filmen egentligen skulle handla om, där lite ändå tycks ha smugit sig in till den färdiga produktionen:
"That was the challenge. It was absolutely nothing like what we made. It was going to be a father-son story from the perspective of a father, because the first movie had been a father-son story from the perspective of the sons."
"In the script, T'Challa was a dad who'd had this forced five-year absence from his son's life. The first scene was an animated sequence. You hear Nakia [Lupita Nyong'o] talking to Toussaint [the couple's child, introduced in "Wakanda Forever" in a post-credits sequence]. She says, 'Tell me what you know about your father.' You realize that he doesn't know his dad was the Black Panther. He's never met him, and Nakia is remarried to a Haitian dude. Then, we cut to reality and it's the night that everybody comes back from the Blip. You see T'Challa meet the kid for the first time."
