Black Panther's back

The stars of Black Panther discuss representation on screen and the life of the late Chadwick Boseman at the film's European premiere.

It's a film that's redefined for many who a superhero can be, and has the way when it comes to representation in major Hollywood blockbusters. Black Panther was also the first superhero movie to win an Oscar for Best Picture, and it's won legions of fans around the world.

So it's fair to say that the expectations are huge for its follow-up Wakanda Forever. The music, the drama and the special effects will be even bigger and bolder.

But it will also be missing its lead star after Chadwick Boseman, the Black Panther himself, died in 2020 from colon cancer. Rather than shying away from grief and loss though, the movie tackles these feelings head on.

For the latest episode of 5 Minutes On, the 大象传媒's culture correspondent Steffan Powell has been at the film's European premiere speaking to the movie's director and its leading starts.
