Michael B. Jordan Reacts To The Title Of Black Panther 2, Says 'Marvel Does Great Work'

Los Angeles, May 8, 2021: Ever since Marvel Studios has revealed the title of Black Panther 2, which is now, "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever", fans are overjoyed and couldn't hold their excitement to watch this movie. "Wakanda Forever" is something that echoes in the minds of every Black Panther fan as it reminds them of the late Chadwick Boseman - the original Black Panther. ## Well, after the much-talked-about title announcement, all eyes are on Michael B. Jordan, who played N'Jadaka/Erik "Killmonger" Stevens in the first Black Panther movie. Jorden didn't know the title of the sequel until the host of the Just For Variety podcast informed him just minutes before it was announced by Marvel.## "Nice. Awesome", Jordan reacted to the title. "I like that. … Marvel does great, amazing work and the characters are awesome. We all took a hit with the loss of Chadwick, so for them trying to figure out how to move forward, I know it's not an easy thing to do. So the fact that they settled on a title and figuring out this story, I think is truly incredible. If anybody could figure it out, it's Ryan Coogler and Kevin Feige". ## Jordan also hadn't seen Monday's Marvel trailer that features footage of him and Boseman together while Stan Lee is heard saying in voiceover, "That man next to you, he's your brother". "Wow", Jordan said, choking up. "Stan Lee saying that?

Chadwick Boseman's Family Reacts On Late Actor Not Winning Oscars, Says 'He Was Not Snubbed'

Los Angeles, April 28, 2021: Chadwick Boseman's family has a message for those saying the late actor got snubbed from an Oscar. Chadwick's brother Derrick Boseman spoke to TMZ, and said that his family has no hard feeling following the 93rd Academy Awards as every nominated actor in the category was deserving of the award. ## Anthony Hopkins, who played the role of a man who has dementia and constantly forgets important life events in the movie "The Father", won the Oscars of the Best Actor over presumed frontrunner Boseman. Hopkins, after winning his second Oscar, released a belated acceptance speech the morning after the Academy Awards, which aired on 25 April, including the shoutout to Boseman. ## Boseman's family congratulated Hopkins and his family, as Derrick put it, "I'm sure [Anthony] would if Chad won". Derrick says Chadwick wasn't one to put too much value on the Oscars anyway. Derrick says Chadwick "always described them to me as a campaign. Yes, an Oscar would have been an achievement, but was never an obsession for him". ## To the surprise of many viewers, the Best Actor category concluded the Oscars ceremony (25 April) when it is typically Best Picture that closes the evening's events. Some have speculated that producers moved Best Actor to the end as they had predicted Boseman would win the prize for "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom" which won two Oscars for Best Makeup And Hair, and Best Costume Design. ## Chadwick Boseman was died last year on August 29 due to colon cancer at the age of 43. He was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer in 2016 had battled this for four years. ## Stay tuned...
