But like almost all blockbuster productions, the film had to deal with the lack of actors due to schedule inconsistencies, as in the case of actor Daniel Kaluuya.
Kaluuya plays W’Kabi, a character from the first Black Panther film, a member of the Border Tribe who sides with Killmonger throughout the film. The character did not appear in the sequence, justified by the fact that the character was “banished” from Wakanda but was still alive.
And while the actor didn’t return for the sequel, a costume concept was created for him by Marvel concept artist Niek Schlosser. Cash:
In the caption for the post, the actor mentions that it’s a regret that the character hasn’t returned, but that “No! Don’t Look”, a film that filled Daniel Kaluuya’s schedule, making it impossible for him to return in Black Panther 2 “a great movie”:
“The Wkabi costume makeover for Wakanda Forever sadly never happened, but ‘No! Don’t Look was a great movie.”
