It's how you interpret it to fit agenda, personal feelings, insecurity, paranoia. Who knows if vanity has their own agenda, but from the two dudes, they weren't in on it

How Ryan Coogler Is Handling Black Panther 2 Pressure
- BY COOPER HOOD
- – ON NOV 06, 2018
- IN MOVIE NEWS
Ryan Coogler knows there's pressure to deliver a great Black Panther 2, but he isn't letting it faze him. Coogler was instrumental in creating the version of Black Panther that was a global hit earlier this year. After delivering a $1 billion blockbuster with a primarily black cast, he is finally confirmed to return to write and direct its sequel.
Marvel Studios had been developing a Black Panther movie for years as a way to highlight the great character of T'Challa and world of Wakanda, but also as an effort to diversify the look of their lead characters. Chadwick Boseman's portrayal of Black Panther popped in Captain America: Civil War, with his mystery and standout fighting style helping him steal scenes throughout. This only increased excitement in a solo movie, and Black Panther delivered a brand new corner of the MCU filled with rich characters and tons of talent. The critical and financial success guaranteed a sequel was on the way, but with it comes a whole new level of pressure.

IndieWire asked Ryan Coogler about the pressure that he feels as the director of Black Panther 2. Coogler has to follow a game-changing box office run and overwhelming critical praise, and somehow try to find a way to top it in a sequel. As high as the bar is raised, Coogler says he and the rest of the Marvel Studios team are going to keep the process simple to hopefully deliver another great film.
When it comes to making a sequel, I’ve never done it before, a sequel to something that I’ve directed myself. So I think there’s gonna be a lot of pressure there, but what we’re going to try to do is just focus on the work, like we always do. Really try to go step by step and try to quiet everything else around us, really focus on trying to make something that has some type of meaning.
ADVERTISING
As teased by Coogler, Black Panther 2 will be his first true sequel he's made, but it isn't the first franchise film he directed that brought prior continuity into it. Coogler is responsible for the relaunch of the Rocky franchise but through the eyes of Adonis Creed, played by Michael B. Jordan. Creed had six Rocky movies to follow, but Coogler found a way to reinvent the franchise while still maintaining the core concepts of the franchise and the traits of returning characters. He may have passed on directing Creed II (which comes out in two weeks), but he did so to direct Black Panther. Since he and Marvel are already have a solid direction for the story, taking the process one step at a time is obviously the best course of action.
ADVERTISING
While Black Panther 2 now has the pressure of living up to the first film, there was equal amounts of pressure on Black Panther to deliver. There had long been a notion that largely black casts don't translate to massive box office success and it was up to Black Panther to dismiss that belief. Coogler said there's been pressure that feels "insurmountable each time" on all three of his films, so this isn't entirely new. Expectations will undeniably be high for what Coogler and Marvel make next, but it appears they have the right focus to this point, so Black Panther 2 looks to be in good hands and able to withstand the pressure.
Ryan Coogler Thought Marvel Would Cut Black Panther's Most Powerful Line

Black Panther’s Erik Killmonger is one of the MCU’s most complex villains. His heartbreaking dialogue toward the end of the film is one of his most powerful moments and perhaps something you wouldn’t normally expect to hear in a superhero film. Black Panther co-writers Ryan Coogler and Joe Robert Cole put it in there assuming Marvel executives would cut it. However, they did the opposite.
In fact, they said not just to keep it in, but make the whole movie about that choice. Speaking to the Hollywood Reporter, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige recalls reading those lines in the first draft of Black Panther. The exchange, if you recall, is as follows:
T’Challa: “I can try to heal you.”
Killmonger: “Why, so you can lock me up? Just bury me in the ocean with my ancestors who jumped ships, ‘cause they knew death was better than bondage.”
“It was one of the best lines we ever read,” Feige told THR. “We said, ‘There are going to be a lot of revisions, but don’t touch that line.’ And Ryan said, ‘That’s the line I thought you’d tell me to cut.’ And we said, ‘On the contrary, keep it and build more of the movie around it.’”
Coogler did just that, Black Panther made $700 million domestic, becoming not just Marvel’s highest grossing domestic release ever, but the third highest grossing domestic release of all time. It also, most importantly, secured Marvel its first Academy Award nomination for Best Picture. We’ll find out if it can win on February 24.
As for Coogler and Feige, the pair will soon be back at work, as a Black Panther sequel is in the works.

The Creed story is safe in Michael B. Jordan’sbig, strong hands. The star of the boxing epic and its sequel will direct the upcoming third installment, Creed III. Co-star Tessa Thompson confirmed the reports of his side gig in an interview with MTV’s Josh Horowitz. It will be Jordan’s directorial debut, taking the reins from Ryan Coogler and Steven Caple Jr. who directed the first and second films, respectively. Jordan will also return as the indomitable boxer Adonis Creed. Tessa Thompson, who plays Creed’s love interest, Bianca, said filming is planned for 2021. It’s currently unclear if Sylvester Stallone will join the ninth installment in the Rocky legacy, which dates back to the original 1976 Academy Award winner. Zach Baylin, the writer behind King Richard, the story of Venus and Serena Williams’s father and coach, wrote the script. Michael B. Jordan is currently enjoying his reign as People’s Sexiest Man Alive, but he might feel differently once on set. “It’s going to be ammo, I think, for me when he is engaging with me as a director,” Tessa Thompson conspired with MTV. “I’m just going to tell him to dial down the sexiness.” For your sake and the sake of husbands everywhere, Tessa!

A Running List Of Ryan Coogler And Michael B. Jordan Collaborations And Where To Stream Them
Kimberly RicciFilm/TV EditorTwitter
September 24, 2024
The new Sinners trailer debuted this week and introduced the world to the fifth feature collaboration between powerhouse filmmaker Ryan Coogler and actor/producer/sometimes director Michael B. Jordan. The resulting horror movie follows troubled twin brothers, both portrayed by Jordan, who will “return to their hometown to start again, only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back” during Jim Crow-era South.
This formerly top-secret project will arrive in March 2025, which isn’t exactly tomorrow, but if you would like to relive collaborative cinematic excellence, here is where you can stream the pair’s existing joint works:
Fruitvale Station (streaming on Max): Coogler’s debut feature film retraces the events leading up to the death of Oscar Grant (Jordan) who was killed in Oakland by now-ex-police officer Johannes Mehserle.
Creed (streaming on MGM+ & Amazon): This film introduces a more than worthy trilogy of Rocky Balboa successor movies, which co-starred Sylvester Stallone in trainer and mentor form to Adonis Johnson Creed (Jordan), whose father, Apollo Creed, was killed while fighting dastardly rival Ivan Drago.
Black Panther (streaming on Disney+): With Chadwick Boseman in the lead and heroic role, Jordan got to have a (shirtless) blast portraying Erik Killmonger, who remains an almost universal favorite villain of those who have ever counted themselves fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (streaming on Disney+) This film not only stood as a merited sequel but also honored the late Boseman. Even though Killmonger obviously did not emerge as the new Black Panther, Jordan still got to briefly raise his character from the grave with a too-short display of nuance.
Let’s close with a half-serious dream for the future.
The planned revival of The X-Files: Original series creator Chris Carter broke the news of Coogler’s in-the-works series that will further investigate whether “the truth is out there” as Fox Mulder subscribed. Gillian Anderson has gone on the record to say that she would be down to reprise Scully in this very real project, but god only knows if a release date will materialize. Still, it’s tempting to wonder what role, if any, that Jordan could adopt, whether that involves producing or even stepping into “I want to believe” shoes.
We’ll stop speculating now. Happy viewing for the above (completed) films.
