Black Panther Star Daniel Kaluuya Reminisces About Working With Chadwick Boseman
Black Panther star Daniel Kaluuya has recently taken the time to reflect on his experience making the hit Marvel Cinematic movie with his late friend, Chadwick Boseman. In the first film, Kaluuya portrayed the character of W'Kabi, who also happened to be a close companion to Boseman's iconic hero.
He also acted as the husband to Danai Gurira's Okoye. W'Kabi serves as the head of security for the Border Tribe of Wakanda when he suddenly finds himself at odds with T'Challa after discovering he failed to capture the violent Ulysses Klaue. W'Kabi's parents were murdered by Klaue, making him an orphan for life, and he ends up assisting Killmonger in his steady rise to power and control when Killmonger delivers Klaue's dead body. Yet, he decides to surrender after being challenged by Okoye in the film’s final showdown. Following Black Panther's massive success, the sequel film Black Panther: Wakanda Forever was announced and is officially in development. Initially, news was circulating that Kaluuya would be reprising his role as W'Kabi for the second film, yet that was quickly shut down. Those who are expected to return for the highly anticipated sequel include Lupita Nyong'o as Nakia, Gurira as Okoye, Martin Freeman as Everett K. Ross, Letitia Wright as Shuri, Winston Duke as M'Baku, and Angela Bassett as Ramonda.
