Due to the sudden death of Chadwick Bosemandirector Ryan Coogler had to make changes to the plot of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, where tribute was paid to the character of T’Challa in the new movie of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
For this, it is shown at the beginning of the movie that Chadwick Boseman’s character dies of an unknown disease, starting its plot with an emotional funeral for King T’Challa.
However, many fans were quite surprised to see a very notable absence at T’Challa’s funeral: that of the avengerswho fought side by side with him in Wakanda during the battle against Thanos’ army in Avengers: Infinity War.
Why Key Marvel Characters Weren’t At Black Panther’s Funeral
Considering Black Panther’s alliance with the Avengers, it seems odd at first that neither hero turned up at the funeral to pay their respects. The group is no stranger to losing one of their own, as Tony Stark had a nice funeral in Avengers: Endgame that was attended by the rest of the Avengers.
Leaving aside both monetary and agenda issues so that each of the Avengers actors made their corresponding cameo in the moviethere are certain reasonable explanations that would justify your absence at the funeral.
On the one hand, not all the Avengers were close friends with T’Challa. In fact, the closest ones were Natasha Romanoff and Steve Rogers, and neither of them is available to go (one because she is dead and the other because he is now an old man retired).
On the other hand, keep in mind that T’Challa was the king of Wakanda and his funeral in the film is a kind of representation of his royal status. This implies that the funeral could have been a Wakandan-only eventso the Avengers could not attend even if they wanted to as it was a closed ceremony.
In any case, the scene of T’Challa’s funeral in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever was an event where a nice tribute was paid to Chadwick Boseman, so His would have been that the rest of the cast of the Avengers had made an appearance to give more emphasis to the tributedon’t you think so?
