Filming on Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is going smoothly, according to producer Nate Moore.At the premiere for Marvel Studios' Eternals, Moore was asked about the highly-anticipated sequel to the 2018 blockbuster Black Panther. "We're shooting in Atlanta and it's going really well," the producer told Variety. "Ryan Coogler's back and he's fantastic and the crew is back and we know we have big shoes to fill and we just want a film that, hopefully, people can respond to and be entertained by and get some catharsis by spending time with. That's a tall order, but we want to be up to the challenge."RELATED: Black Panther 2's Angela Bassett Shares Update on Letitia Wright After On-Set Injury

Moore was then asked if and how the cast of Wakanda Forever honored the late Chadwick Boseman. "Yeah, in their own ways, in sort of personal and private ways," he answered. "But the truth is the biggest honor is to maintain that story of Wakanda. Chad knew, I think before any of us, how important it could be for people. So it's our job to keep that spirit alive so that kids can continue to find that world and find themselves in that world."

After starring as King T'Challa in the first Black Panther and several other MCU works, Boseman tragically died of colon cancer in 2020. Lupita Nyong'o, who plays Nakia in both films, said that Coogler reshaped the sequel to respect Boseman. "We have a leader in Ryan, who feels very much like we do, who feels the loss in a very, very real way as well," she explained. "And his idea, the way which he has reshaped the second movie is so respectful of the loss we’ve all experienced as a cast and as a world. So it feels spiritually and emotionally correct to do this. And hopefully, what I do look forward to, is getting back together and honoring what he started with us and holding his light through it. Because he left us a lot of light that we’re still going to be bathing in. I know that for sure."

Finally, Moore was asked about Marvel studios pushing back the release dates of all its 2022-23 films. Moore answered confidently, "Nov. 11 of next year, so we'll be out here next year for Black Panther 2." He appeared unconcerned by the shift, saying "It just gives us more time to get it right."
