Black Panther: Wakanda Forever begins filming in Altanta; Kevin Feige says sequel will make Chadwick Boseman proud

The much-awaited sequel to the blockbuster 2018 movie Black Panther has officially begun. Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige revealed that Black Panther: Wakanda Forever has started its production on Tuesday, 29 June at Pinewood Studios in Atlanta.

The sequel will have director Ryan Coogler behind the camera along with the whole crew and cast only without its titular hero Chadwick Boseman, who passed away battling colon cancer for four years in August last year.

At the Black Widow Global Fan Event in Los Angeles, Feige informed that it's going to be very emotional for all. “It’s clearly very emotional without Chad. But everyone is also excited to bring the world of Wakanda back to the public and back to the fans. We’re going to do it in a way that would make Chad proud,” Feige said at the event on Tuesday night as per Variety.

So far, Marvel Studios is keeping the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever plot details and new characters under wraps. But actors including Danai Gurira, Letitia Wright, Daniel Kaluuya, Winston Duke, Lupita Nyong’o, Florence Kasumba, and Angela Bassett are likely to reprise their previous roles.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever will hit screens on 8 July, 2022. This is one of the 26 upcoming movies on Marvel Studios’ list which is slated to release in theatres and streaming platform Disney Plus. Despite the coronavirus pandemic, Marvel Studios still has four new films to release this year alone.

The first instalment of Black Panther series was a massive hit when it was released in February 2018. The feature broke most of its records after hitting theatres and earned $1.34 billion worldwide, making it the highest-grossing non-Avengers movie of all time.

The movie also grabbed seven Academy Award nominations and won Oscars for the score, costume design, and production design to its credit.

Oscars 2021 adds in-person UK hub for international nominees amid travel concerns during pandemic

With less than a month until showtime, the 93rd Oscars are taking another pass at the script. Show producers Steven Soderbergh, Jesse Collins and Stacey Sher remain determined to have an i n-person ceremony on 25 April in Los Angeles but told nominees on Tuesday in a virtual meeting that they’ve added a British hub after some backlash from nominees about international travel restrictions. The main event will still take place at Los Angeles’ Union station which will include a red carpet component but they are planning something special for the UK location. The show is also working with local broadcast affiliates around the world to provide satellite links for other international nominees. They said they are not totally ruling out Zoom but are hoping it doesn’t come to that. Although plans and requirements remain fluid, attendees have been told they’re expected to quarantine for 10 days prior to the show. And everyone is being told to bring a mask, even if the show is being designed...

In conversation with Christopher Doyle, cinematographer of Wong Kar-Wai cinema: How we react to spaces energizes the film

The New Yorker critic Anthony Lane described the cinematography of Christopher Doyle as “a snake — savouring the air of the streets.” Across the Atlantic Ocean, on BBC , he is credited with “changing the look of cinema”. Doyle’s “anti-Hollywood” aesthetic, associated with the streaks of thick, luminous paint in Wong Kar-wai’s films, have a striking and lasting visual vitality. It has often been described as “post-modern” — though what that means exactly is everybody’s guess. My guess is the reliance, in his images, on feelings over narrative, on style over substance — the kind that skyrocketed post-World War II artists like Mark Rothko into fame. Rothko would just paint fields of colour, and people would stand and weep in front of his large, enveloping canvases. The effect of Doyle’s imagery is not much different.  For all his artistry, Doyle is flippant, moony, and charming. During an e-mail exchange produced below, edited for length and clarity, Doyle warns, “I think you s...
