There's no doubt that Black Panther: Wakanda Forever will be an emotionally-charged film and Marvel Studios is pulling out all the stops to make the sequel a fitting tribute to the late Chadwick Boseman. The sequel originally wrapped filming last March but it turns out that the project has recently undergone reshoots, as confirmed by Namor actor Tenoch Huerta.
According to the MCU newcomer, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever filmed additional scenes shortly after the cast and crew's appearance at San Diego Comic-Con last month. In an interview with W Radio Mexico (translated by Twitter user @chavernand), Huerta revealed: "To be honest, my life hasn’t changed that much. I’m doing reshoots that are like little missing pieces, like the take of a hand, a movement, some new framing. Like little things to do at the end of every movie, and that sometimes you need to do them again."
He added: "As a matter of fact, that same day at the end of our presentation at Comic-Con, we went back to the studios, to keep working, so I haven’t had that much spare time. I’ve been working all these days, I think this is my first day off… kind of."

Naturally, this would lead to fans expressing concern about the film's current status but Huerta assured everyone that "everything is in order" and it's unlikely that the reshoots will affect the film's current release date. As it stands, we still have no idea what additional scenes were shot but it looks like Namor will be given more screentime.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is slated to hit cinemas on November 11, 2022.
