In the wake of Chadwick Boseman’s tragic death in 2020, many Marvel fans wondered how the “Black Panther” franchise could continue. Disney had already announced a sequel to Ryan Coogler’s 2018 hit, but it seemed impossible to keep making movies without Boseman as the eponymous superhero. Marvel eventually found a way, opting not to recast the role and instead take an ensemble approach that focuses on supporting characters with the upcoming “Black Panther Wakanda Forever.” But according to one of the film’s stars, Boseman still left a massive void on set. Martin Freeman, who reprises his role as Everett K. Ross, recently spoke to Collider about making the sequel without Boseman. While he acknowledges that the show had to go on, he emphasized that the crew missed Boseman as much as fans do. “It was strange, that side of it,” Freeman said. “On the one hand, you’re making the film that you’re there to make, and there are scores and scores of people on set, joined in this endeavor to make the film. But there’s also no question that, at the heart of it, there’s quite a gap now, and you felt it.” That said, Freeman had nothing but good things to say about his experience making the film. “With full respect to Ryan Coogler and everybody else, who’s sweating and bleeding to get this thing done properly, it was fun,” he said. “It was enjoyable. I was in and out of it quite quickly, I think. But I like playing Everett Ross. He’s a very fun character to play. He’s nicely simpatico for the story. He’s a good guy.” “But it was odd. Of course, it was odd with Chadwick not being there,” he continued. “There’s no way around that. I think everyone would find it pretty strange and sad, but at the same time, life things don’t just end. It’s not like, Well, that’s that’s happened, so we just all have to go off and never do it again.’” Despite Boseman’s absence, Freeman believes that the world of “Black Panther” is rich enough to sustain more films and is proud of the one they made. “When he passed, I thought, Okay, well maybe there just won’t be another one.’ But there are still other stories to tell within that world and other great characters,” he said. “I hope that we’ve made a good film. I trust Ryan Coogler a lot.” “Black Panther Wakanda Forever” will be released in theaters on November 11, 2022.

Wakanda Forever star Martin Freeman has weighed in on his character's role within the Black Panther Fargo star plays CIA agent Everett K Ross, who was introduced in Captain America Civil War and is returning for Black Panther and its hotly anticipated follow-up, set to hit theatres on November an exclusive chat with Digital Spy, Freeman has explained Ross is an "outsider" who is useful to Wakanda, but also a genuine, if surprising, Black Panther Wakanda Forever lives up to Chadwick Boseman's legacy"He's the man on the outside. Because he's working for one of the most… I would say the most powerful country in the world, except for Wakanda. In this world, I guess it's along with Wakanda," Freeman said."I guess he's a very useful ally to have in a country like America. He advocates for them, and I think that's very useful for them."Freeman explained that, since Ross's first appearance, the agent has navigated the grey areas of morality, making it hard to work out if he's a goodie or a villain."In those black-and-white terms, you're not sure if he's a goodie or a baddie," he said."And he's turned out to be a useful ally for [Wakanda] and I like that but he's not touchy-feely. He's not kind of cutesy. He's pretty straight. But he'll do what he can to sort of help the people he likes and loves."Mike Marsland//Getty ImagesRelated Black Panther's Florence Kasumba explains importance of Black queer representationOf course, Ross's whiteness plays a role in him being the outsider. For Freeman, however, it's not just his race, but him also being American and a government official that makes him "an unexpected ally"."He’s working for who some people regard as… you know, it’s the world’s only superpower, right? And any superpower doesn’t want to get its power challenged," the actor said."Whether Ross was Black, white or brown, he’d be within the heart of that. His main interest is to protect his own country."Clearly, he looks different. He doesn't look like the rest of the cast of Black Panther but at the same time, I think it's as much his nationality and his position in his government setup that makes him the outsider to Wakanda, and it makes him an unexpected ally, actually."Because I think it's as much his race as his status within the world’s only superpower, regardless of what colour he is."Marvel StudiosRelated Why Black Panther Wakanda Forever focuses on the female charactersWakanda Forever grapples with the loss of King T'Challa aka Black Panther played by late star Chadwick Boseman, introducing a new iteration of the Freeman, the sequel features returning stars Letitia Wright, Lupita Nyong'o, Angela Bassett, Danai Gurira and Winston Duke as well as MCU newcomers Michaela Coel, Dominique Thorne and Tenoch Panther Wakanda Forever has a release date of November 11, 2022.

Home Movie News How does his character relate to Iron Man and Captain America's feud, and particularly Black Panther's role in the superhero showdown? Among the many questions that have been floating around concerning Captain America Civil War, the epic third installment in the Captain America franchise and likely one of the most profitable films of 2016, but one has continued to stick out. That would be the role that will be inhabited by one Martin Freeman, the superb actor from Sherlock, Fargo Season 1, and the upcoming Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, who has been attached to the third film for awhile but whose character has remained secret...until today. In an upcoming Empire Magazine story, it's revealed that Freeman will play Everett Ross, a character that will certainly be familiar to fans of the Black Panther comics. In the movie, he is part of the Joint Counter Terrorist Centre in the upcoming Marvel film, and works, as you can see, alongside Emily VanCamp's Agent 13 - if the uniforms on the men behind them are to be taken literally, they seem to be in Germany. Of course, fans of Black Panther know Ross as a longtime supporting character in the series, who is a foremost expert on Wakanda, the realm that Black Panther rules over. In future installments, he also has interactions with Panther's younger sister, but that's for a sequel many years from now. For now, let's just be happy that Freeman is playing a decent fella, unlike his character in Fargo. Here's the full image of Freeman and VanCamp from the Empire Magazine story Image via Marvel Here's the plot synopsis for Captain America Civil War Marvel’s “Captain America Civil War” finds Steve Rogers leading the newly formed team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. But after another incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability, headed by a governing body to oversee and direct the team. The new status quo fractures the Avengers, resulting in two camps—one led by Steve Rogers and his desire for the Avengers to remain free to defend humanity without government interference, and the other following Tony Stark’s surprising decision to support government oversight and accountability. Marvel’s “Captain America Civil War” stars Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Emily VanCamp, Don Cheadle, Jeremy Renner, Chadwick Boseman, Paul Bettany, Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Rudd and Frank Grillo, with William Hurt and Daniel Brühl. Anthony & Joe Russo are directing with Kevin Feige producing. Louis D’Esposito, Alan Fine, Victoria Alonso, Patricia Whitcher, Nate Moore and Stan Lee are the executive producers. The screenplay is by Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely.

Após a morte do astro Chadwick Boseman, em agosto de 2020, incertezas pairaram sobre o destino do herói Pantera Negra no universo Marvel nas telas. A confirmação do segundo filme rei de Wakanda chegou, mas ainda haviam dúvidas. Mesmo sem grandes detalhes, o ator inglês Martin Freeman confirmou sua presença na sequência de Pantera Negra’.O intérprete do personagem Everett K. Ross havia dito que estaria de volta no papel antes da morte do colega de elenco. Agora, em entrevista ao site Collider, ele tocou no assunto. “Sim, estou no segundo Pantera Negra’. Logo vou falar com Ryan Coogler diretor e roteirista sobre como será”, disse MAISWakanda será tema de nova série da Marvel desenvolvida por diretor de “Pantera Negra”Loki’, série da Marvel exclusiva da Disney+, ganha primeiro pôsterChris Evans não retornará como Capitão América no Universo Marvel, diz Kevin FeigeFalcão e o Soldado Invernal’ saiba quais filmes da Marvel assistir antes da sérieEle ainda afirmou não ter ideia sobre o roteiro do filme nem o que vai acontecer, agora que Boseman não está mais presente. “Antes de Chadwick morrer, se minha memória não falha, o roteiro estava pronto. Estavam trabalhando nele e Chadwick morreu. Pensei vejo um mundo sem Pantera Negra, porque como podemos fazer um Pantera Negra’ sem o Pantera Negra?'”, interpreta Everett K. Ross no universo Marvel. Imagem Marvel/DivulgaçãoPara Freeman, era impensável e incompreensível a ideia de um filme da franquia sem a presença do colega. “Foi muito chocante e ainda é muito, muito estranho que ele não está mais aqui. Estou curioso, assim como você, para ver como ficará e vou descobrir logo. Tudo que sei é que estou nele”, emendou o inglês.
