Black Panther director Ryan Coogler recalled his last conversation with actor Chadwick Boseman, who died at age 43 in August 2020 after a private four-year battle with colon cancer. After 2018's Black Panther grossed more than $1.3 billion worldwide and became the first superhero film ever nominated for the Best Picture Oscar, Coogler and Boseman were to return for the Marvel Studios sequel Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
"I just finished [the script]. My last conversation with him was calling him asking him if he wanted to read it before I got notes from the studio. That was the last time we spoke," Coogler shared in the first episode of Wakanda Forever: The Official Black Panther Podcast. "He passed maybe a couple of weeks after I finished.""He was tired, bro," Coogler remembered through tears."I could tell he was tired.
The couple were in good spirits and"joking and laughing," Coogler said, remembering Boseman talking about their upcoming wedding in South Carolina.
