We’ve all grown so much as a family, and it feels great to see you guys and honor big bro at the same time,” Wright said.Grab your rolling papyrus, a compartment of snuff, and get ready to do the Ethiopian Shim Sham sand dance because History of the World Part II is happening! Hulu has given a series order to Searchlight Television and 20th Century Television’s 8-episode variety series History of the World Part II, 40 years after the original release of Mel Brooks’ landmark 20th Century Fox film History of the World, Part I. “It’s a labor of love, and I have so much gratitude to be a part of it and be able to share it with you,” Duke said of the sequel. “Black Panther” stars Lupita Nyong’o, Letitia Wright, Danai Gurira, Florence Kasumba and Winston Duke were then introduced by Coogler on the Comic-Con stage.

“I promise you, I can feel his hand on me right now.”Ĭoogler also offered some information on the sequel, saying “it goes to new places in Wakanda that we haven’t seen before and it goes to new places in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.” I sat about there and we premiered the first footage from ‘Black Panther 1,’ and sitting next to me was our T’Challa, the late great Chadwick Boseman.”Ĭoogler shared that Boseman was squeezing the director’s shoulder while watching the first footage. “It’s going to be hard to follow that up, but we’ll try,” Coogler said.

Boseman, who played lead T’Challa, died in August 2020 after a private, four-year battle with colon cancer. Writer-director Ryan Coogler, who helmed the first “Black Panther,” then took the stage to discuss the sequel, reflecting on the death of the series’ former star, Chadwick Boseman.
