Devotees of the Black Panther last time you can hear Chadwick Bosemana animation What If …? . The Oscar-nominated actor recorded his voice for four episodes of the series before his death.
In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter , series creators AC Bradley and Bryan Andrews recalled working with the late actor.
Marvel actors play the same roles many times in different movies, now also in series. That’s why they know who their heroes really are and what drives them. Chadwick Boseman understood the important role of Black Panther. He also understood how important it was for a younger audience to see a black man standing shoulder to shoulder with Captain America and Thor, saving the world like everyone else, Bryan Andrews said.
When he came to the tapes, I joked that he didn’t do his best. Then he gave even more. He made sure it was going to be a great episode, but no one understood why. Now the world is a bit sadder because of that, ”added AC Bradley.
Bradley also mentioned that the voice for episodic Black Panther acts later in the series, Chadwick was forced to record on the Zoom platform due to the pandemic.
These recordings were made at Zoom. In the last recording, as soon as he finished, I selfishly told him how wonderful it was for me to work with him and how much we all appreciate him and his work. He touched his heart and was very grateful, but we had no idea what he was going through then. It was nice to express our gratitude to him, because thanks to this he knew how much we thank him for everything he brought to the project and how important he is. And I think he felt so too.
What If…? premiered today on Disney +. Episodes are released weekly.
