JAKARTA - Even though his name is increasingly known for the film Black Panther, in fact Chadwick Boseman - who plays T'Challa - refused to join if the film he starred in had a series in Disney Plus's Over the top (OTT) streaming media.
This statement was made by Boseman during an interview with MTV International to promote his latest film 21 Bridges. He said he had no interest in building T'Challa characters for the small screen.
“I don't want to because I don't want to play for TV series. I don't want to choose a single character so I can't answer that. Like, I have a list of things I'm really excited about. And, that's not doing franchising, "said Boseman.
However, although not interested in appearing on the Disney Plus series, Boseman lent his voice talent to an upcoming animated series entitled What If…?. Footage screened at the D23 Expo last August revealed Black Panther as an alternative version of Star-Lord. He also confirmed that he would join the TV series The Black Child.
So, it's not that Boseman doesn't want to play in a TV series, it's just that he's not interested in playing a live action version of Black Panther that can draw him from other potential projects.
Either way, Boseman's Black Panther will remain a staple of the Marvel Cinematic Universe for the foreseeable future. The actor will return to play King T'Challa in Black Panther 2 when the film hits theaters on May 6, 2022.
Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige is planning his next post-Avengers: Endgame move by announcing a series of television shows for Disney Plus. This TV show will be treated in the same way as a feature-length Marvel Studios film.
Marvel Studios' recent films include Black Widow, The Eternals, Shang-Chi and Legend of the Ten Rings, Doctor Strange in Multiverse of Madness, and Thor: Love and Thunder.
In addition to the aforementioned films, Marvel Studios is developing several shows for Disney Plus, including The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, WandaVision, Loki, How If ...?, Hawkeye, Ms. Marvel, Moon Knight, and She-Hulk.
