About this episode
Director and co-writer Ryan Coogler joins us to discuss the making of the latest addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe — Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Joining the discussion is the film’s composer Lugwig Görannson, supervising sound editor and re-recording mixer Steve Boeddeker, supervising sound editor Benjamin Burtt, and re-recording mixer Brandon Proctor. This is the first Black Panther movie since the sudden and tragic death of its star, Chadwick Boseman. But as the title implies, the filmmakers hope this film is both a fitting tribute to him as well as a reminder that he and his work live on in these powerful films. “What I hope audiences take away from it is how much we love Chad [and] how much we missed him. For us, Chadwick and T’Challa are linked because that was the circumstance by which we got to meet this great guy. It was through bringing his character and this world to life. So for us, it's always gonna be a link there that we can't ignore. So I hope all the audiences understand how we felt about this guy. But in a more expansive sense, just because somebody's dead doesn't mean that they're gone. They feel him and feel what he was about because his effect is still there. I think it's gonna be around forever.” — Ryan Coogler, Director and Co-Writer, Marvel’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Be sure to check out Marvel’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever in theaters now , and in Dolby Vision® and Dolby Atmos® where available.
