Black Panther 2 production designer Hannah Beachler explained how the late Kobe Bryant inspired the story.
When Chadwick passed, murals went up all over the world of him and his Panther suit.
The conversation was, I dont think that people in Wakanda would do anything different, right?
They would want to memorialize their chief and Panther.
We celebrate the loss, but we also celebrate the life of having known them.
Thats how I felt when we were doing the procession and the music.
It was beautiful, and everybody was dressed beautifully, and it was a moment to get everything out.
That was a heavy moment.
He did an absolutely stunningly beautiful job.
No one had actually seen it, not even Ryan at that point.
He knew what we were going to do, but he hadnt seen it.
It was hard, and it was heartfelt, and it was not easy for everyone on those days.
But ultimately, what we were doing in the procession was also celebrating life.
Husband, Father, Strategist, Philosopher-Poet, Warrior-Athlete, Filmmaker…your focus is magnetic, Kobe.
My love goes out to you and your family."
