1
00:00:01,017 --> 00:00:02,669
(upbeat music playing)
2
00:00:02,702 --> 00:00:04,988
ROBIN: Tonight,just one week before the opening
3
00:00:05,021 --> 00:00:08,058
of the most anticipated movie of the year,
4
00:00:08,091 --> 00:00:11,861
the stars of Black Panther:
Wakanda Forever are here…
5
00:00:11,895 --> 00:00:13,296
Yes!
6
00:00:13,329 --> 00:00:14,647
Wakanda Forever!
7
00:00:14,681 --> 00:00:19,252
ROBIN: …to celebrate and honorthe brilliance of Chadwick Boseman
8
00:00:20,070 --> 00:00:23,556
and to pay tributeto the legacy of a king.
9
00:00:23,590 --> 00:00:27,527
When Chadwick passed away, I was broken.
10
00:00:28,261 --> 00:00:30,246
ROBIN: The powerful interviewwith his wife,
11
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,215
Simone Ledward Boseman.
12
00:00:32,248 --> 00:00:36,086
He was a leader and he was a king.
13
00:00:36,119 --> 00:00:38,972
(dramatic music playing)
14
00:00:39,005 --> 00:00:41,775
ROBIN: Also, we take youinside Wakanda.
15
00:00:41,808 --> 00:00:42,926
We are home.
16
00:00:42,959 --> 00:00:44,227
ROBIN: Hidden in Africa,
17
00:00:44,260 --> 00:00:47,247
a fictional world of scienceand technology,
18
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:49,315
with very real traditions,
19
00:00:49,349 --> 00:00:51,351
culture and challenges
20
00:00:51,384 --> 00:00:54,070
and show you how that world expanded
21
00:00:54,104 --> 00:00:57,240
to include a fictional new underwater city
22
00:00:57,273 --> 00:01:00,076
based on the traditionsof Mexican culture.
23
00:01:00,110 --> 00:01:02,328
(singing Akekho Umama Ofana Naye)
24
00:01:02,362 --> 00:01:06,216
ROBIN: Feel the iconic rhythmsand music of Wakanda,
25
00:01:06,249 --> 00:01:10,086
how hit artists blended today's soundswith sounds of old.
26
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,723
RIHANNA: ♪ Lift me up… ♪
27
00:01:16,926 --> 00:01:18,511
ROBIN: And here tonight…
28
00:01:18,545 --> 00:01:20,163
Oh, man, maybe we bit off
more than we can chew.
29
00:01:20,196 --> 00:01:22,415
ROBIN: …for the first time anywhere,
30
00:01:22,449 --> 00:01:27,754
see an exclusive not yet released sceneof Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
31
00:01:27,787 --> 00:01:30,790
(rock music playing)
32
00:01:34,194 --> 00:01:35,912
(indistinct chatter)
33
00:01:35,945 --> 00:01:39,732
ROBIN: In recent years,a simple two-word phrase and gesture
34
00:01:39,766 --> 00:01:41,785
has taken on a life of its own.
35
00:01:41,818 --> 00:01:43,036
MAN: Wakanda Forever!
36
00:01:43,069 --> 00:01:44,721
Wakanda Forever!
37
00:01:44,754 --> 00:01:46,289
Wakanda Forever.
38
00:01:46,322 --> 00:01:47,740
ROBIN: Sweeping the nation.
39
00:01:47,774 --> 00:01:50,877
Nobody wants to shake my hands anymore.
Everybody just does this.
40
00:01:50,910 --> 00:01:54,547
Seeing people gravitate,
celebrate is beautiful.
41
00:01:54,581 --> 00:01:56,883
-Action!
-Wakanda Forever!
42
00:01:56,916 --> 00:01:59,185
LUPITA: The salute was being done on set.
43
00:01:59,219 --> 00:02:00,804
I was like, "Oh, that's really fly.
44
00:02:00,837 --> 00:02:02,472
That's catchy. That's good."
45
00:02:02,505 --> 00:02:03,857
FREDERICK: It's a statement, right?
46
00:02:03,890 --> 00:02:06,059
You know, it--
I can't even really explain it.
47
00:02:06,092 --> 00:02:08,995
Like, you saw NBA players doing it.
48
00:02:09,028 --> 00:02:10,330
The Saturday Night Live skit.
49
00:02:10,363 --> 00:02:12,398
you know, like, showing people,like, doing it all over the place.
50
00:02:12,432 --> 00:02:15,268
-Hail Wakanda.
-Hail Wakanda.
51
00:02:15,735 --> 00:02:16,753
FREDERICK: And it was--it was hilarious.
52
00:02:16,786 --> 00:02:20,473
It's a brilliant stamp
that easily gets transferred to real life.
53
00:02:20,507 --> 00:02:21,608
It is right over left.
54
00:02:22,525 --> 00:02:24,677
-Wakanda Forever.
-Wakanda Forever.
55
00:02:24,711 --> 00:02:26,813
(tense music playing)
56
00:02:26,846 --> 00:02:29,899
ROBIN: Black Panther
was more than just a superhero movie…
57
00:02:29,933 --> 00:02:32,519
-(drums thudding)
-(ululates)
58
00:02:32,552 --> 00:02:34,871
ROBIN: …it was a cultural phenomenon.
59
00:02:36,005 --> 00:02:37,974
But making it wasn't always easy,
60
00:02:38,007 --> 00:02:41,427
as Director Ryan Coogler revealedwhen we sat down together.
61
00:02:43,446 --> 00:02:45,415
It was the hardest thing
I'd ever done professionally.
62
00:02:45,448 --> 00:02:46,583
Makin' the first Panther,
63
00:02:46,616 --> 00:02:49,269
it felt like I had been off
more than I can chew.
64
00:02:49,302 --> 00:02:51,271
"Imposter syndrome" some people call it.
65
00:02:51,304 --> 00:02:52,305
"I'm not ready yet.
66
00:02:52,338 --> 00:02:53,656
It's too big, it's too much."
67
00:02:53,690 --> 00:02:56,209
But my collaborators all…
68
00:02:56,242 --> 00:02:58,511
would constantly let me know
that they trusted me.
69
00:02:59,546 --> 00:03:02,699
ROBIN: When the movie was aboutto be released in 2018,
70
00:03:02,732 --> 00:03:05,301
the anticipation was palpable.
71
00:03:05,335 --> 00:03:07,587
-CROWD: Lupita! Lupita!
-MAN: Can I get one please?
72
00:03:07,620 --> 00:03:10,423
ROBIN: It set a pre-ticket sales record
73
00:03:10,456 --> 00:03:14,077
and we saw the startof the Black Panther Challenge online.
74
00:03:14,110 --> 00:03:18,081
The Black Panther Challenge is actually
the largest GoFundMe in history.
75
00:03:18,114 --> 00:03:19,916
I thought about,
let's see if I could figure out a way
76
00:03:19,949 --> 00:03:21,834
to help some children see the film.
77
00:03:21,868 --> 00:03:25,672
ROBIN: His idea unleashed waves of joyacross classrooms.
78
00:03:25,705 --> 00:03:27,640
(all singing foreign language)
79
00:03:27,674 --> 00:03:29,175
ROBIN: It raised millions
80
00:03:29,209 --> 00:03:32,645
with 70,000 childrenwatching the film for free.
81
00:03:32,679 --> 00:03:36,249
We're inviting all of you guys
to come see Black Panther for free.
82
00:03:36,282 --> 00:03:37,834
(cheering)
83
00:03:37,867 --> 00:03:41,120
FREDERICK: I think that this filmis a global catalyst
84
00:03:41,154 --> 00:03:43,556
for the imagination of young people.
85
00:03:43,590 --> 00:03:45,642
They can literally be anything,
because they see it.
86
00:03:45,675 --> 00:03:47,627
It is life-changing.
87
00:03:52,031 --> 00:03:54,017
This never are gets old.
88
00:03:54,050 --> 00:03:58,371
NNEDI: That moment wherethey go through that forcefield
89
00:03:58,404 --> 00:04:03,243
and then you see it open up,
like, was exhilarating.
90
00:04:03,276 --> 00:04:06,629
I had never seen a love letter
to the Black community like that
91
00:04:06,663 --> 00:04:08,781
on a screen in this capacity.
92
00:04:09,549 --> 00:04:12,852
ROBIN: It became oneof the top-grossing movies of all time,
93
00:04:12,885 --> 00:04:16,673
earning more than $1.3 billion worldwide.
94
00:04:16,706 --> 00:04:17,924
(indistinct chatter)
95
00:04:17,957 --> 00:04:22,462
It's the first comic-film nominated
for best picture for the Oscars.
96
00:04:23,363 --> 00:04:25,448
JAMIL: To see this tale
97
00:04:25,481 --> 00:04:28,351
from about a made-up superheroin a made-up country,
98
00:04:28,384 --> 00:04:32,722
but based wholly in African
and African-American realities,
99
00:04:32,755 --> 00:04:35,608
to see the Academy recognize that
100
00:04:35,642 --> 00:04:38,845
wasn't necessarily a step forward for us,it was a step forward for them.
101
00:04:38,878 --> 00:04:39,779
(applause)
102
00:04:39,812 --> 00:04:42,582
And the Oscar goes to…
103
00:04:42,615 --> 00:04:43,733
Black Panther.
104
00:04:43,766 --> 00:04:47,370
ROBIN: It did end up winningthree Academy Awards for its score,
105
00:04:47,403 --> 00:04:50,023
costume and production design.
106
00:04:50,056 --> 00:04:53,626
The casts also taking homea Screen Actors Guild Award.
107
00:04:54,394 --> 00:04:59,115
But this massive blockbusteractually had humble origins.
108
00:04:59,148 --> 00:05:00,600
It started with a comic book
109
00:05:00,633 --> 00:05:03,303
that was never expectedto amount to anything.
110
00:05:03,336 --> 00:05:05,254
Marvel comics was expanding.
111
00:05:05,288 --> 00:05:09,342
And they decided put the Black Panther
in Jungle Action.
112
00:05:09,375 --> 00:05:12,211
And they didn’t think
it was gonna survive.
113
00:05:12,245 --> 00:05:14,580
JAMIL: The character was createdby Stan Lee
114
00:05:14,614 --> 00:05:16,916
and Jack Herby in 1966.
115
00:05:16,949 --> 00:05:20,636
And of course that's the same year
that the Black Power movement emerges.
116
00:05:20,670 --> 00:05:22,238
(crowd cheering)
117
00:05:22,271 --> 00:05:26,309
JAMIL: Civil rights movement,you have the emergence of demands
118
00:05:26,342 --> 00:05:29,696
not simply for Black freedombut for Black power.
119
00:05:29,729 --> 00:05:30,963
All power to the people!
120
00:05:30,997 --> 00:05:32,882
ALL (applauding): All power to the people.
121
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,904
I'm sure Jack and Stan were aware
of the Black Panther party.
122
00:05:37,937 --> 00:05:40,723
But I don't know
how much that influenced the character.
123
00:05:40,757 --> 00:05:42,025
I know that there's was a concern there.
124
00:05:42,058 --> 00:05:44,210
JAMIL: They changed the name of the comicto Black Leopard
125
00:05:44,243 --> 00:05:46,529
for a brief time before reverting.
126
00:05:46,562 --> 00:05:49,982
So I think there may have been
initially some reticence,
127
00:05:50,016 --> 00:05:53,052
you know, about being associated
with the Black Panthers
128
00:05:53,086 --> 00:05:54,904
and the concept of Black Power.
129
00:05:54,937 --> 00:05:57,123
But ultimately that is what
the comic is about.
130
00:05:58,141 --> 00:06:01,361
DON: I tried to make Wakandaa very separate unique place.
131
00:06:01,394 --> 00:06:04,564
And trying to keep
the White people out of there
132
00:06:04,597 --> 00:06:06,199
was-- became a major fight.
133
00:06:06,232 --> 00:06:08,051
Uh, I just wouldn't do it.
134
00:06:08,084 --> 00:06:10,303
T'Challa doesn’t need anybodyto come in and help him.
135
00:06:10,336 --> 00:06:12,755
He'll take care of his own problems,
thank you very much.
136
00:06:12,789 --> 00:06:15,675
As a fan of the character in publishing,
137
00:06:16,409 --> 00:06:17,944
what always struck me
about Black Panther is
138
00:06:17,977 --> 00:06:21,214
he's not an incredibly emotive personeven on the page,
139
00:06:21,247 --> 00:06:23,433
but there's a power to him,
there's a gravity.
140
00:06:23,466 --> 00:06:25,401
ROBIN: Producer Nate Moore's idea
141
00:06:25,435 --> 00:06:28,187
was to introduce King T'Challaor Black Panther
142
00:06:28,221 --> 00:06:32,592
on the big screen in 2016's
Captain America: Civil War
143
00:06:32,625 --> 00:06:34,544
played by Chadwick Boseman.
144
00:06:34,577 --> 00:06:36,763
He shows up. Boom!
145
00:06:36,796 --> 00:06:40,249
And I know now in hindsight,
he thought it was a cameo.
146
00:06:42,085 --> 00:06:43,970
But we were interested in doing
a stand-alone movie.
147
00:06:45,521 --> 00:06:46,489
FREDERICK: You see the scene.
148
00:06:46,522 --> 00:06:49,909
And bullets are bouncing offof the Black Panther.
149
00:06:51,027 --> 00:06:52,662
People lost it.
150
00:06:52,695 --> 00:06:54,764
In a world where we are protesting
151
00:06:54,797 --> 00:06:56,949
for no bullets to be aimed
at a Black person,
152
00:06:56,983 --> 00:07:00,853
to see them bounce off
from a police helicopter,
153
00:07:01,621 --> 00:07:02,738
that's something special.
154
00:07:03,689 --> 00:07:07,860
JAMIL: It's not surprising to see thatthe public would demand
155
00:07:07,894 --> 00:07:09,262
more of that character.
156
00:07:10,229 --> 00:07:11,514
RHODEY: Your Highness.
157
00:07:12,198 --> 00:07:15,418
ROBIN: The public got what they wantedand so much more.
158
00:07:15,451 --> 00:07:19,272
The movie and its ripple effectswere felt across the globe,
159
00:07:19,305 --> 00:07:21,441
as I saw in my visit to Ghana.
160
00:07:22,592 --> 00:07:26,012
Talking with Danai Gurirawho grew up in Africa
161
00:07:26,045 --> 00:07:29,065
and is a fierceWakandan warriorin the movie.
162
00:07:29,098 --> 00:07:30,733
Why do you feel it had such an impact?
163
00:07:30,766 --> 00:07:33,986
It really is that moment
where the world is ready for something
164
00:07:34,020 --> 00:07:35,571
they might not be aware they're ready for.
165
00:07:35,605 --> 00:07:38,891
The world was readyto really take in Africa
166
00:07:38,925 --> 00:07:39,959
in a whole new way.
167
00:07:39,992 --> 00:07:43,663
In a way that shows our specificity,
our excellence,
168
00:07:43,696 --> 00:07:47,283
our diversity, our coolness, you know.
169
00:07:47,316 --> 00:07:50,870
You have college courses
being taught about Black Panther
170
00:07:50,903 --> 00:07:52,455
and the themes within the film.
171
00:07:52,488 --> 00:07:53,890
It's brilliant.
172
00:07:53,923 --> 00:07:57,877
Sometimes you're allowed to tell stories
only within a certain box,
173
00:07:57,910 --> 00:08:01,497
but with Panther,
we blew the lid off of that box.
174
00:08:01,531 --> 00:08:02,365
Is this what you wanted?
175
00:08:02,398 --> 00:08:04,433
FREDERICK: It opened the doorfor Shang-Chi to exist.
176
00:08:04,467 --> 00:08:08,104
It opened a door, in my opinion,for the success of Crazy Rich Asians.
177
00:08:08,137 --> 00:08:10,673
It opened the door for The Woman King.
178
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,911
With Black Panther, it is a phenomenon
179
00:08:14,944 --> 00:08:18,714
in every way: the box office,
culturally, critically.
180
00:08:18,748 --> 00:08:24,537
Did you feel pressure,
expectations for the second one?
181
00:08:24,570 --> 00:08:26,088
Of course, of course.
182
00:08:26,122 --> 00:08:29,408
Um, I felt humbled to be asked
back to do another one, you know.
183
00:08:29,442 --> 00:08:30,326
It's not a guarantee.
184
00:08:31,077 --> 00:08:32,595
But I knew I wanted to do it.
185
00:08:33,229 --> 00:08:35,915
And I have to say the way that
you were able to introduce
186
00:08:35,948 --> 00:08:38,551
a new world, new characters.
187
00:08:38,584 --> 00:08:40,620
I started… started to have that
familiar feeling of, like, "Oh man,
188
00:08:40,653 --> 00:08:42,555
man, maybe we bit off more
than we can chew," you know,
189
00:08:42,588 --> 00:08:45,041
like when we were--
we were developing Talokan.
190
00:08:45,074 --> 00:08:48,711
ROBIN: Not only did he help createthe underwater nation of Talokan
191
00:08:48,744 --> 00:08:51,013
for the film Wakanda Forever,
192
00:08:51,047 --> 00:08:55,351
Ryan also brought ina cast of international actors.
193
00:08:55,384 --> 00:08:58,538
When I was a kid in Mexico,
I never dreamed of something like this.
194
00:08:59,238 --> 00:09:01,691
Namor is the ruler of Talokan.
195
00:09:02,391 --> 00:09:06,095
This character is basedon indigenous cultures,
196
00:09:06,128 --> 00:09:09,799
Mesoamerican cultures,
especially Mayan cultures.
197
00:09:09,832 --> 00:09:13,569
One of the biggest messagesin this movie is that
198
00:09:13,603 --> 00:09:17,557
it's time to heal the breaks in the heart
199
00:09:17,590 --> 00:09:20,009
and embrace who we are.
200
00:09:20,943 --> 00:09:23,062
This movie changed my own story.
201
00:09:23,095 --> 00:09:26,599
You know, when I start this movie,
I didn't even speak English.
202
00:09:26,632 --> 00:09:30,786
And it's beautiful, this Talokan world.
203
00:09:30,820 --> 00:09:33,789
Actually, we heard
an indigenous language.
204
00:09:33,823 --> 00:09:36,142
As a Mexican woman with this face
205
00:09:36,175 --> 00:09:41,681
to see myself for the first time
in a big screen is like wonderful.
206
00:09:41,714 --> 00:09:44,250
This is probably one
of the most diverse casts
207
00:09:44,283 --> 00:09:46,202
that we've seen with this kind of budget.
208
00:09:46,869 --> 00:09:51,674
TEMS: ♪ Ere, little darlingdon't shed no tear ♪
209
00:09:52,325 --> 00:09:55,911
There's something truly universal
about this story.
210
00:09:55,945 --> 00:09:58,414
As we allow this story
to touch our hearts.
211
00:09:59,765 --> 00:10:01,984
FREDERICK:
I watched the teaser the first time.
212
00:10:02,318 --> 00:10:06,589
I missed Chadwick Boseman immediately.
213
00:10:06,622 --> 00:10:10,493
When Chadwick passed away, I was broken.
214
00:10:10,526 --> 00:10:16,682
And so we all are being invited
to experience the story,
215
00:10:16,716 --> 00:10:19,919
and seek the hope we all need.
216
00:10:19,952 --> 00:10:23,356
And hopefully in the process,we've paid tribute to Chadwick,
217
00:10:23,389 --> 00:10:25,274
and we've furthered his legacy.
218
00:10:26,626 --> 00:10:28,728
What do you feel his legacy will be?
219
00:10:35,818 --> 00:10:38,087
It can't be defined to a sentence…
220
00:10:39,855 --> 00:10:41,791
soundbite, or--or--or a film.
221
00:10:41,824 --> 00:10:43,075
(crying)
222
00:10:48,180 --> 00:10:49,165
Forgive me.
223
00:10:49,198 --> 00:10:50,566
No apology necessary.
224
00:10:51,767 --> 00:10:54,453
He had these giant hands, like, uh…
225
00:10:54,487 --> 00:10:56,088
(chuckles, sniffles)
226
00:10:56,122 --> 00:10:56,956
…massive.
227
00:10:56,989 --> 00:11:00,076
And--and--
and that's what I think about with him,
228
00:11:00,109 --> 00:11:05,214
is--is his--is his reach
like, across history.
229
00:11:05,781 --> 00:11:08,701
You know, pullin' us up,
230
00:11:08,734 --> 00:11:11,187
pullin' us backwards
for--for what we should know.
231
00:11:11,220 --> 00:11:13,489
And, um--and pullin' us forward.
232
00:11:14,457 --> 00:11:16,909
That's--that's what I think his legacy is.
233
00:11:16,942 --> 00:11:18,544
Thank you. Thank you.
234
00:11:18,577 --> 00:11:19,729
-Thank you.
-ROBIN: Thank you.
235
00:11:19,762 --> 00:11:23,933
My momma used to say,
"I feel him on his heavenly balcony,
236
00:11:23,966 --> 00:11:28,337
going, 'Thank you, carry on, carry on.'"
237
00:11:28,371 --> 00:11:29,221
Thank you.
238
00:11:36,145 --> 00:11:38,147
(dramatic music playing)
239
00:11:38,731 --> 00:11:40,850
You know, we had already introduced
240
00:11:40,883 --> 00:11:44,270
audiences to the world
of Wakanda cinematically.
241
00:11:44,303 --> 00:11:47,406
And we wanted to--
to get deeper into Wakanda,
242
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:48,407
get deeper into the characters.
243
00:11:48,441 --> 00:11:51,844
But at the same time, give audiencesthat same feelin' of bein' introduced
244
00:11:51,877 --> 00:11:54,063
to something new, to a new place.
245
00:11:54,096 --> 00:11:56,932
KELLEY: In this new film,I think we get more Wakanda.
246
00:11:56,966 --> 00:12:00,569
I mean, we definitely see all
of the science tech advances
247
00:12:00,603 --> 00:12:05,491
that every other country, you know,
in the world wants to get their hands on.
248
00:12:05,524 --> 00:12:08,160
But we also see the people.
249
00:12:08,194 --> 00:12:12,948
I really became more detailed and focused
on their traditions, their culture.
250
00:12:12,982 --> 00:12:15,267
What are some of the things
that they are challenged with?
251
00:12:15,935 --> 00:12:19,221
Wakanda Forever represents
this nation of Afrofuturism
252
00:12:19,255 --> 00:12:21,507
that really centers
the continent of Africa
253
00:12:21,540 --> 00:12:23,175
in the tech space.
254
00:12:23,209 --> 00:12:26,328
Afrofuturism is taking an idea
255
00:12:26,362 --> 00:12:31,000
or the thing that happenedand reimagining the sci-fi fiction
256
00:12:31,033 --> 00:12:33,202
behind what would have happened.
257
00:12:33,235 --> 00:12:37,056
You see these young, Black, tech geniuses,
258
00:12:37,089 --> 00:12:41,427
that really are, like, the smartest people
on the planet, in this film.
259
00:12:41,460 --> 00:12:43,763
And that's something
we've never seen before
260
00:12:43,796 --> 00:12:45,631
in any movie, period.
261
00:12:45,664 --> 00:12:49,935
The STEM, everyone talks about how women
are not bright when it comes to that.
262
00:12:49,969 --> 00:12:53,389
And at the forefront, Shuri is there.
263
00:12:53,422 --> 00:12:56,325
Can you tell folks
what's--what's new technology…
264
00:12:56,358 --> 00:12:59,161
-Oh, technology wise, what's new?
-Yeah, the new inventions and things.
265
00:12:59,195 --> 00:13:00,830
You'll see new vehicles,
266
00:13:00,863 --> 00:13:03,349
you'll see, um, new applied sciences.
267
00:13:03,599 --> 00:13:06,519
You'll see a lotta,
uh, robotic engineering,
268
00:13:06,552 --> 00:13:08,554
rocket engineering, nanotechnology.
269
00:13:08,587 --> 00:13:09,622
I mean, you'll see it all.
270
00:13:09,655 --> 00:13:12,107
Bullet wounds don't just
magically heal overnight.
271
00:13:12,541 --> 00:13:14,860
(chuckles) They do here.
272
00:13:14,894 --> 00:13:17,463
But not by magic, by technology.
273
00:13:18,581 --> 00:13:19,799
NNEDI: Shuri in the comics,
274
00:13:19,832 --> 00:13:23,135
she has a lot of really mystical powers,
275
00:13:23,169 --> 00:13:24,787
and then the Shuri in the film
276
00:13:24,820 --> 00:13:26,505
is a genius engineer who creates
277
00:13:26,539 --> 00:13:29,458
all of these different technologies
for her brother,
278
00:13:29,492 --> 00:13:31,744
but she has her own aspirations too.
279
00:13:31,777 --> 00:13:34,380
Shuri's way of dealing
280
00:13:34,413 --> 00:13:37,333
with what she's going through,
281
00:13:37,366 --> 00:13:40,402
is to bury herself into new technology.
282
00:13:40,436 --> 00:13:44,323
She's always thinking of ways
to protect not only her nation,
283
00:13:44,356 --> 00:13:47,409
but those who have to go to fight
on behalf of her nation.
284
00:13:47,443 --> 00:13:50,830
There's futurism
but there's also a respect
285
00:13:50,863 --> 00:13:52,815
of honoring the past,
286
00:13:52,848 --> 00:13:56,952
so there's a moment
when she has to just take Shuri,
287
00:13:56,986 --> 00:13:58,687
let go all of the technology
288
00:13:58,721 --> 00:14:00,623
and we have to just sit
289
00:14:00,656 --> 00:14:03,943
and deal with the experience of life.
290
00:14:03,976 --> 00:14:07,313
Shuri in the--in the first film
was a mentee
291
00:14:07,346 --> 00:14:08,631
of her--of her older brother.
292
00:14:08,664 --> 00:14:11,050
And in this film, she gets to play mentor
293
00:14:11,083 --> 00:14:13,469
to another young scientist,
and that relationship that--
294
00:14:13,502 --> 00:14:16,822
seein' those two characters
kinda bounce ideas off of each other
295
00:14:16,856 --> 00:14:18,958
was, uh, really a blast to direct,
296
00:14:18,991 --> 00:14:20,609
and I'm lookin' forward
to people seein' it.
297
00:14:22,094 --> 00:14:25,564
Wakanda planted a seed
of what is possible.
298
00:14:26,031 --> 00:14:27,566
We can't go back in time.
299
00:14:28,601 --> 00:14:31,887
However, we can pull from it
300
00:14:31,921 --> 00:14:33,622
some of the strength.
301
00:14:33,656 --> 00:14:35,524
NNEDI: Things don't get done
302
00:14:35,558 --> 00:14:37,693
until you can imagine them first.
303
00:14:37,726 --> 00:14:39,929
That is the role of storytellers.
304
00:14:39,962 --> 00:14:41,881
That is the role of science fiction.
305
00:14:41,914 --> 00:14:44,533
It's about envisioning a future
with us in it.
306
00:14:45,017 --> 00:14:48,120
RUTH: We are thinking abouthow we can move
307
00:14:48,153 --> 00:14:51,657
the African diaspora into the future,
308
00:14:51,690 --> 00:14:54,276
with technology, with science,
309
00:14:54,310 --> 00:14:56,428
with culture with art,
310
00:14:56,462 --> 00:14:58,914
and Afrofuture combines all of that.
311
00:14:59,832 --> 00:15:02,818
We wanted it
to be as tangible and real
312
00:15:02,851 --> 00:15:04,820
and evolved as possible,
313
00:15:04,853 --> 00:15:06,822
but still be familiar, right.
314
00:15:06,855 --> 00:15:08,507
We don't want it to be, you know,
315
00:15:08,540 --> 00:15:11,510
100 years in the futureand nobody understands what's going on.
316
00:15:11,543 --> 00:15:14,213
Black Panther helped
to elevate Afrofuturism
317
00:15:14,246 --> 00:15:17,232
and have us talking about itin louder ways
318
00:15:17,266 --> 00:15:18,417
than probably we were before.
319
00:15:18,450 --> 00:15:20,402
After this movie, Wakanda Forever,
320
00:15:20,436 --> 00:15:22,621
there'll be two discussions coming out.
321
00:15:23,355 --> 00:15:27,276
You're gonna have
the continuing discussion of Afrofuturism.
322
00:15:27,309 --> 00:15:29,695
But then you will see
the work of other authors
323
00:15:29,728 --> 00:15:32,915
that have talked about
Chicano-Chicanafuturism.
324
00:15:32,948 --> 00:15:34,934
There is Latino futurism.
325
00:15:34,967 --> 00:15:36,819
We were being influenced by that.
326
00:15:36,852 --> 00:15:40,072
Seeing two different groups
of brown people on screen
327
00:15:40,105 --> 00:15:43,375
in Wakanda Forever is…
328
00:15:45,494 --> 00:15:46,495
colossal.
329
00:15:47,830 --> 00:15:49,531
ROBIN: Across the globe we are seeing
330
00:15:49,565 --> 00:15:51,850
the next generation of storytellers
331
00:15:51,884 --> 00:15:54,620
and visual artists using technology
332
00:15:54,653 --> 00:15:58,524
to tell their storiesin a way we've never seen before.
333
00:15:59,224 --> 00:16:02,911
It feels great to know
that people have looked at Wakanda
334
00:16:02,945 --> 00:16:07,032
and taken inspiration to create
and innovate and discover.
335
00:16:07,566 --> 00:16:09,885
DAVID: Using technology, using software,
336
00:16:09,918 --> 00:16:12,504
using all these new media,
allows more artists
337
00:16:12,538 --> 00:16:15,891
to develop, and opens the door
to various forms of art
338
00:16:15,924 --> 00:16:19,278
that, especially from Africa
and from the diaspora,
339
00:16:19,311 --> 00:16:21,130
are not represented enough.
340
00:16:21,730 --> 00:16:23,699
MICHELLE: As an artistI'm always trying to look
341
00:16:23,732 --> 00:16:26,318
into different ways of telling stories.
342
00:16:26,352 --> 00:16:29,705
You know, the VR technologyis kind of like a step forward
343
00:16:29,738 --> 00:16:31,790
into, um, the future.
344
00:16:34,176 --> 00:16:36,261
ROBIN: This big screen inspiration
345
00:16:36,295 --> 00:16:40,149
now leading the wayfor the next generation of creators.
346
00:16:40,599 --> 00:16:44,053
It was definitely, uh,
like a stepping stone for me.
347
00:16:44,086 --> 00:16:46,538
Like maybe one day I could be someone
348
00:16:46,572 --> 00:16:49,208
who's creating things as big as that.
349
00:16:49,241 --> 00:16:51,493
It reminds me of how else people--
350
00:16:51,527 --> 00:16:54,563
these are the only thing
we blessed with, the hands.
351
00:16:54,596 --> 00:16:57,316
We need to use them
to create possible futures,
352
00:16:57,349 --> 00:16:59,768
to create our own realities,
353
00:16:59,802 --> 00:17:03,122
to create everything that we imagine.
354
00:17:03,155 --> 00:17:05,507
LETITIA: I always want to inspirethrough my work.
355
00:17:06,225 --> 00:17:07,976
For it to touch people's hearts…
356
00:17:09,278 --> 00:17:10,696
means that we did something right.
357
00:17:11,714 --> 00:17:14,516
ROBIN: Did you ever imaginethat you would create
358
00:17:14,550 --> 00:17:18,003
this world that resonates
with so many people?
359
00:17:18,037 --> 00:17:19,505
It's beyond my wildest imagination.
360
00:17:19,538 --> 00:17:21,673
I feel like I was blessed to be able
361
00:17:21,707 --> 00:17:24,076
to be in the right place
at the right time,
362
00:17:24,109 --> 00:17:26,395
um, to have the ability--
363
00:17:26,428 --> 00:17:29,732
to have the job
of adapting Wakanda to the screen.
364
00:17:29,765 --> 00:17:31,734
Never dreamt
365
00:17:31,767 --> 00:17:34,620
that I would ever be a part
of something like this.
366
00:17:34,653 --> 00:17:37,139
And I knew the first time
367
00:17:37,172 --> 00:17:39,274
I turned on the Skype
368
00:17:39,308 --> 00:17:42,394
and looked at Ryan's face and we talked,
369
00:17:43,345 --> 00:17:44,713
"This is gonna change everything."
370
00:17:45,247 --> 00:17:47,282
(upbeat music playing)
371
00:17:47,316 --> 00:17:50,502
ROBIN: Before Black Panther
was even released in 2018,
372
00:17:50,536 --> 00:17:53,439
the fashion in the filmsparked an obsession
373
00:17:53,472 --> 00:17:54,973
all over social media.
374
00:17:56,925 --> 00:17:58,494
The woman who lit the flame?
375
00:17:58,527 --> 00:18:01,830
Creator and legendary costume designer,
376
00:18:01,864 --> 00:18:03,065
Ruth E. Carter.
377
00:18:03,098 --> 00:18:04,950
(chanting)
378
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:08,337
JAMIL: The scene where T'Challais first going to face a challenge,
379
00:18:08,370 --> 00:18:11,006
you're seeing all of the different tribesof Wakanda
380
00:18:11,039 --> 00:18:12,241
on the side of this mountain,
381
00:18:12,274 --> 00:18:14,276
it still gives me chills
just thinking about it.
382
00:18:14,309 --> 00:18:16,979
I, M'baku,
383
00:18:18,247 --> 00:18:19,998
leader of the Jabari, wish to--
384
00:18:20,032 --> 00:18:22,584
I accept your challenge.
385
00:18:25,854 --> 00:18:27,322
TANISH: She really is the blueprint
386
00:18:27,356 --> 00:18:29,975
for a lot of other
Black costume designers.
387
00:18:31,043 --> 00:18:32,277
-MAN: Right here, babe.
-(cameras clicking)
388
00:18:32,311 --> 00:18:33,862
ROBIN: For over 30 years,
389
00:18:33,896 --> 00:18:37,032
Carter has designed costumesfor such films as Selma…
390
00:18:37,065 --> 00:18:40,269
MAN: What happens when a man stands up,says, "Enough is enough"?
391
00:18:41,120 --> 00:18:42,321
ROBIN: …Amistad…
392
00:18:42,354 --> 00:18:45,407
MAN: I will call into the pastand beg my ancestors
393
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:46,542
to come and help me.
394
00:18:46,575 --> 00:18:47,576
ROBIN: …and Malcolm X.
395
00:18:47,609 --> 00:18:48,877
This is who you are.
396
00:18:48,911 --> 00:18:49,928
Beautiful.
397
00:18:49,962 --> 00:18:51,697
Your beautiful black selves
398
00:18:51,730 --> 00:18:53,298
with pride and dignity.
399
00:18:53,332 --> 00:18:55,567
Ruth E. Carter.
400
00:18:55,601 --> 00:18:56,602
(laughs)
401
00:18:56,635 --> 00:18:58,153
Were you familiar with her work
from an early age?
402
00:18:58,187 --> 00:19:00,839
Of course. Oh, yeah.
I grew up--I grew up watching--yeah.
403
00:19:00,873 --> 00:19:01,874
I grew up watching her work.
404
00:19:03,759 --> 00:19:06,161
RUTH: Black Pantherwas a full-circle moment
405
00:19:06,195 --> 00:19:09,064
because making those costumes
406
00:19:09,097 --> 00:19:15,270
required that I pull in
everything I have ever done.
407
00:19:15,304 --> 00:19:17,956
(chanting)
408
00:19:17,990 --> 00:19:21,243
ROBIN: Carter worked closelywith Coogler to develop the costumes
409
00:19:21,276 --> 00:19:23,378
and it all started with a blanket.
410
00:19:24,246 --> 00:19:27,966
All of our research trips
informed us a lot.
411
00:19:28,851 --> 00:19:31,153
My initial trip,I was in South Africa, in Lesotho.
412
00:19:32,404 --> 00:19:35,941
RUTH: When he returned,he remembered these beautiful blankets
413
00:19:35,974 --> 00:19:40,128
that were the indicator of their tribe
414
00:19:40,162 --> 00:19:44,149
and they had been with them
for hundreds of years.
415
00:19:44,183 --> 00:19:45,317
Border Tribe.
416
00:19:45,350 --> 00:19:49,271
RUTH: And then we printed Vibraniumon one side,
417
00:19:49,304 --> 00:19:51,540
so that they could be used as shields.
418
00:19:53,675 --> 00:19:55,594
ROBIN:
The visual style Carter developed
419
00:19:55,627 --> 00:20:00,465
mixes and celebrates traditionaland contemporary African design.
420
00:20:01,833 --> 00:20:07,356
TANISHA: She literally scoured the earthfor the garments in this film.
421
00:20:07,389 --> 00:20:10,275
She went to various parts
of the African continent…
422
00:20:12,694 --> 00:20:16,231
to work with someof the most skilled craftspeople
423
00:20:16,265 --> 00:20:19,601
and also to educate herselfon the various ethnic groups
424
00:20:19,635 --> 00:20:21,320
across the African continent.
425
00:20:21,954 --> 00:20:25,207
ROBIN: Marvel had a designfor T'challa's Black Panther suit
426
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,210
but Carter put a unique stamp on it.
427
00:20:28,243 --> 00:20:30,979
One of the things that was important to me
428
00:20:31,013 --> 00:20:36,318
was that he have symbols on his suit
429
00:20:36,351 --> 00:20:39,288
that would connect him to Africa.
430
00:20:40,973 --> 00:20:45,277
You see that trianglein so much of the art of Africa
431
00:20:45,310 --> 00:20:46,428
throughout the continent.
432
00:20:46,461 --> 00:20:48,480
And the Oscar goes to…
433
00:20:49,031 --> 00:20:50,899
ROBIN: For her groundbreaking work,
434
00:20:50,933 --> 00:20:55,053
Carter became the firstAfrican-American costume designer
435
00:20:55,087 --> 00:20:56,505
to win an Oscar.
436
00:20:56,538 --> 00:20:57,990
Wow.
437
00:20:58,557 --> 00:21:00,325
This has been a long time coming.
438
00:21:01,076 --> 00:21:04,413
Marvel may have created
the first Black superhero,
439
00:21:04,446 --> 00:21:10,068
but through costume design
we turned him into an African king.
440
00:21:10,102 --> 00:21:11,470
(cheers and applause)
441
00:21:11,503 --> 00:21:13,989
ROBIN: In Wakanda Forever,
442
00:21:14,022 --> 00:21:16,091
we'll see some familiar costumes
443
00:21:16,124 --> 00:21:20,629
but this time, Carter's workis even bigger and bolder.
444
00:21:20,662 --> 00:21:24,099
She really can make you,
like, click into place
445
00:21:24,132 --> 00:21:25,500
with the costume she puts you in.
446
00:21:25,534 --> 00:21:26,969
She's a storyteller first.
447
00:21:27,002 --> 00:21:29,304
Take her to the River Province
to prepare her for the ceremony.
448
00:21:29,338 --> 00:21:31,673
RUTH: The Dora Milaje,
449
00:21:31,707 --> 00:21:36,411
their costume honors
many regions of Africa.
450
00:21:36,445 --> 00:21:38,947
This is Dora Milaje, right here.
451
00:21:38,981 --> 00:21:44,419
There's a harness which is inspiredby the Turkana tribe.
452
00:21:44,453 --> 00:21:48,140
Neck rings and arm ringsinspired by the Ndebele.
453
00:21:48,173 --> 00:21:53,161
Leather inspiredby the Himba tribe of Mali.
454
00:21:53,762 --> 00:21:57,666
ROBIN: Queen Ramonda appearsin a series of spectacular
455
00:21:57,699 --> 00:22:00,018
3D printed crowns.
456
00:22:01,286 --> 00:22:03,672
RUTH: She wears this isicholo.
457
00:22:03,705 --> 00:22:06,641
Here is Ramonda's hat from Wakanda.
458
00:22:06,675 --> 00:22:09,845
That is the South African
married woman's hat.
459
00:22:11,196 --> 00:22:14,733
They're so resplendent,
so regal that they--
460
00:22:14,766 --> 00:22:17,936
they really helped me
grasp onto the character.
461
00:22:17,969 --> 00:22:20,672
The headdress is 3D-printed,
462
00:22:20,706 --> 00:22:23,342
very, very, expensive. (laughs)
463
00:22:23,375 --> 00:22:26,211
ROBIN: Carter also facedher greatest challenge yet,
464
00:22:26,244 --> 00:22:30,649
creating costumesfor the underwater world of Talokan.
465
00:22:30,682 --> 00:22:36,238
The Talokanil is
a imagined world of people
466
00:22:36,271 --> 00:22:39,191
who left the Mayan civilization
467
00:22:39,224 --> 00:22:42,561
and created one in the ocean.
468
00:22:42,594 --> 00:22:46,381
The production, they hired some advisors.
469
00:22:46,415 --> 00:22:49,267
These guys are scholars.
470
00:22:49,301 --> 00:22:50,569
They are Mayans.
471
00:22:50,602 --> 00:22:54,606
They directed us to the pottery
472
00:22:54,639 --> 00:22:57,793
that the Mayans painted,
473
00:22:57,826 --> 00:22:59,911
the hieroglyphics.
474
00:23:00,946 --> 00:23:03,882
TENOCH: They took so longto create this costume
475
00:23:03,915 --> 00:23:08,804
because they have to know exactly
what was the meaning of each element.
476
00:23:08,837 --> 00:23:12,207
For example, in the helmet,you know, is the feather serpent.
477
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:15,861
These costumes change
the story for our people.
478
00:23:15,894 --> 00:23:19,014
-it's so amazing for the representation.
-Amazing.
479
00:23:19,047 --> 00:23:24,369
We also went to historians and experts
480
00:23:24,403 --> 00:23:27,539
that could tell us about
the evolution underwater.
481
00:23:27,572 --> 00:23:31,693
We used fish bones and we used fish fins.
482
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:37,649
The lionfish fins that Namora wearsare very large.
483
00:23:37,682 --> 00:23:40,068
The headpiece is--it's a lot.
484
00:23:40,102 --> 00:23:42,788
You can't swim with the headpiece.
485
00:23:42,821 --> 00:23:44,506
It was heavy.
So we have different versions
486
00:23:44,539 --> 00:23:47,242
if I have to move too muchunder the water.
487
00:23:48,693 --> 00:23:50,579
ROBIN:
With stories like these emerging,
488
00:23:51,046 --> 00:23:53,198
the anticipation only grows
489
00:23:53,231 --> 00:23:56,685
to see Carter's wearable arton screen again
490
00:23:56,718 --> 00:24:00,021
and to answer the question…
491
00:24:00,755 --> 00:24:05,977
Who is gonna be donning
that majestic, symbolic,
492
00:24:06,011 --> 00:24:10,165
important piece of costume
that Chadwick did?
493
00:24:10,198 --> 00:24:12,884
You know, I don't wanna give it away
before folks see it,
494
00:24:12,918 --> 00:24:15,770
but what I will say is, um,
495
00:24:15,804 --> 00:24:19,040
the person who ends up putting on,
earns it through the film
496
00:24:19,074 --> 00:24:22,027
and, you know, uh, I hope people enjoy it.
497
00:24:27,365 --> 00:24:29,784
Well, speaking of music,
it's like a separate character…
498
00:24:29,818 --> 00:24:31,203
-RYAN: Uh-huh.
- …in the film.
499
00:24:31,236 --> 00:24:32,487
-RYAN: Yeah.
-And Ludwig…
500
00:24:32,521 --> 00:24:35,006
RYAN: We met in school at USC
501
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,342
and I heard him score something for, like,
one of my classmates
502
00:24:37,375 --> 00:24:38,643
and it--it blew my mind.
503
00:24:38,677 --> 00:24:41,546
ROBIN: Composer Ludwig Göransson,
504
00:24:41,580 --> 00:24:45,333
the mind behind Black Panther's Grammyand Oscar-winning score.
505
00:24:46,868 --> 00:24:49,838
Its synergy of hip-hopand traditional African beats,
506
00:24:49,871 --> 00:24:52,424
bringing Wakanda to life…
507
00:24:52,457 --> 00:24:55,060
The only way to do that
would be to go to Africa
508
00:24:55,093 --> 00:24:58,797
and work with artists
and instrumentalists from the continent.
509
00:24:59,247 --> 00:25:02,350
ROBIN: Senegal would beGöransson's first stop.
510
00:25:02,384 --> 00:25:06,371
There, he connected with singerand guitarist Baaba Maal,
511
00:25:06,404 --> 00:25:08,590
who would invite him to watch his tour.
512
00:25:08,623 --> 00:25:13,295
I think it was a good thing to do
because by following my band
513
00:25:13,328 --> 00:25:16,498
and how the people organizethe concerts that start sometime
514
00:25:16,531 --> 00:25:18,800
at two o'clock in the--the night.
515
00:25:18,833 --> 00:25:20,585
It's very ceremonial.
516
00:25:20,619 --> 00:25:22,287
The women put their jewelries,
517
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:26,057
their nice clothes, indigos,all the colors.
518
00:25:26,091 --> 00:25:27,342
The energy's crazy.
519
00:25:27,375 --> 00:25:29,844
And he comes outin his traditional clothing
520
00:25:29,878 --> 00:25:31,846
and starts singing this--this opening hymn
521
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,549
and I had, you know,
goosebumps all over my body.
522
00:25:34,583 --> 00:25:36,751
ROBIN: Maal's trumpeting vocals
523
00:25:36,785 --> 00:25:39,754
which can be heardfrom villages miles away
524
00:25:39,788 --> 00:25:43,408
introduce the hidden kingdomon the song "Wakanda".
525
00:25:43,909 --> 00:25:46,628
(singing in Fula)
526
00:25:46,661 --> 00:25:47,996
OKOYE: Sister Nakia,
527
00:25:48,630 --> 00:25:49,731
my prince…
528
00:25:50,916 --> 00:25:52,250
we are home.
529
00:25:53,418 --> 00:25:55,203
LUDWIG: Baaba Maal is singing about
530
00:25:55,237 --> 00:25:57,239
an elephant that's died
531
00:25:57,272 --> 00:25:59,591
and the elephant being
a synonym for a king.
532
00:25:59,624 --> 00:26:01,276
When a big elephant die,
533
00:26:01,910 --> 00:26:05,397
it's always a young elephant
who will come to lead all the others.
534
00:26:05,430 --> 00:26:08,099
A new king will be chosen,
535
00:26:08,133 --> 00:26:09,834
which is the young T'Challa.
536
00:26:09,868 --> 00:26:11,903
This never gets old.
537
00:26:14,940 --> 00:26:17,926
(epic music playing)
538
00:26:23,982 --> 00:26:26,601
ROBIN: These drumming "Sounds of the King"
539
00:26:26,635 --> 00:26:30,405
played by tama master Massamba Diop.
540
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:35,310
One of the most fascinating instruments
to me was the talking drum.
541
00:26:35,343 --> 00:26:39,664
It's a drum that sounds like a voicethat you can actually talk with.
542
00:26:39,698 --> 00:26:41,116
That was the first type of telephone.
543
00:26:41,149 --> 00:26:44,669
And when we came back
and come to the studio in Dakar
544
00:26:44,703 --> 00:26:46,588
and to bring all the musicians,
545
00:26:46,621 --> 00:26:50,575
I remember when we was
recording the talking drums
546
00:26:50,609 --> 00:26:52,460
with different microphones,
547
00:26:52,494 --> 00:26:55,246
Ludwig was right there in the middle.
548
00:26:57,482 --> 00:27:00,719
We have many Senegalese people
all around the world.
549
00:27:00,752 --> 00:27:03,171
When they went to see Black Panther,
550
00:27:03,204 --> 00:27:06,124
they all say, "Wow, this is our culture.
551
00:27:06,157 --> 00:27:07,275
This is what we know."
552
00:27:07,309 --> 00:27:08,710
ROBIN: Göransson's next stop
553
00:27:08,743 --> 00:27:11,946
would be the International Libraryof African Music
554
00:27:11,980 --> 00:27:15,050
so we had our cameras followhis footsteps.
555
00:27:17,002 --> 00:27:21,589
LUDWIG: It was the biggest collectionof recorded African music in the world.
556
00:27:21,623 --> 00:27:24,743
So I went there to be able to listen to
557
00:27:24,776 --> 00:27:27,946
as many different recordings as I could.
558
00:27:27,979 --> 00:27:29,964
And a lot of that music
doesn't exist anymore.
559
00:27:29,998 --> 00:27:32,901
ROBIN: The library organizeda musical performance
560
00:27:32,934 --> 00:27:35,120
by South African healers
561
00:27:35,153 --> 00:27:37,389
to simulate Göransson's exposure
562
00:27:37,422 --> 00:27:41,192
to traditional African performancesthat communicate a story.
563
00:27:42,110 --> 00:27:44,129
As they are dancing,
564
00:27:44,162 --> 00:27:46,765
they are breaking
the foundations of those prisons.
565
00:27:46,798 --> 00:27:48,600
Their ancestors will be free.
566
00:27:48,633 --> 00:27:54,389
The first song that the Amagqirha sang
is Akekho Umama Ofana Naye,
567
00:27:54,923 --> 00:27:57,692
which means "There's no mother like her."
568
00:27:57,726 --> 00:28:00,729
(singing Akekho Umama Ofana Naye)
569
00:28:15,377 --> 00:28:18,213
BAABA: African music,you have to understand it,
570
00:28:18,246 --> 00:28:21,583
like something that calls peopleto collaborate,
571
00:28:21,616 --> 00:28:25,937
this is what makes African music
always in a movement.
572
00:28:25,970 --> 00:28:29,224
(drum beating)
573
00:28:29,257 --> 00:28:32,243
(all chanting)
574
00:28:35,830 --> 00:28:36,931
(speaks Xhosa)
575
00:28:36,965 --> 00:28:38,733
(all speak speaks Xhosa)
576
00:28:43,505 --> 00:28:47,041
MIKE: "All The Stars"is the first song that I think about
577
00:28:47,075 --> 00:28:48,626
when I think about Black Panther.
578
00:28:48,660 --> 00:28:53,531
ROBIN: Afrofuturism takes center stagein Kendrick Lamar's chart-topping album
579
00:28:53,565 --> 00:28:55,834
that he curatedfor the movie's soundtrack.
580
00:28:55,867 --> 00:29:00,371
That first Black Panther soundtrack
went number one on the Billboard Top 200.
581
00:29:00,405 --> 00:29:01,856
Probably because of Kendrick Lamar.
582
00:29:01,890 --> 00:29:06,394
MIKE: Kendrick sits on the cuspof so many intersectionalities
583
00:29:06,428 --> 00:29:09,047
of different stylings of hip hop,
584
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:12,901
from hip hop music
to world music to Afrobeats.
585
00:29:13,568 --> 00:29:17,989
There's something beautiful aboutwhat's happening with Afrobeats right now,
586
00:29:18,022 --> 00:29:20,775
you saw people dancinghere in the United States to Afrobeats
587
00:29:20,809 --> 00:29:25,363
and you saw people dancing in South Africa
to Afrobeats outside of a movie theater.
588
00:29:25,396 --> 00:29:26,931
(crowd cheering)
589
00:29:26,965 --> 00:29:30,151
ROBIN: So how could they follow
Black Panther's iconic sound
590
00:29:30,185 --> 00:29:31,686
in Wakanda Forever?
591
00:29:31,719 --> 00:29:33,838
We didn't wanna try to reinvent the wheel,
592
00:29:33,872 --> 00:29:36,341
you know, we didn't wanna try to recapture
lightning in a bottle on this one.
593
00:29:37,308 --> 00:29:40,695
So we went into it being more open
to having lots of artists
594
00:29:40,728 --> 00:29:42,230
and representation
from all over the world.
595
00:29:42,263 --> 00:29:46,634
We had African and Afrobeats
and Afro pop represent Wakanda,
596
00:29:46,668 --> 00:29:51,406
and so we needed that Mesoamerican sideof music to represent Talokan.
597
00:29:51,439 --> 00:29:56,327
So it was an incredible journeyfor me to be able to go to Mexico.
598
00:29:56,361 --> 00:29:59,430
Some of the artists I worked with
there includes Alemán,
599
00:29:59,464 --> 00:30:00,782
Snow Tha Product,
600
00:30:00,815 --> 00:30:02,750
Vivir, and Mare.
601
00:30:03,134 --> 00:30:05,954
But we still were, holding out hope
that we could find like--like--
602
00:30:05,987 --> 00:30:10,608
a marquee artist as thematically relevant
as Kendrick was to the first film.
603
00:30:10,642 --> 00:30:13,761
-And who was that? Who was that?
-(laughing)
604
00:30:13,795 --> 00:30:16,781
-Who the--who was just a mother.
-Uh-huh.
605
00:30:16,815 --> 00:30:19,701
What was it like to write with Rihanna?
606
00:30:19,734 --> 00:30:21,653
-It was incredible.
-WOMAN: Rihanna!
607
00:30:21,686 --> 00:30:26,024
NATE: Ryan knew this movie thematicallyis very much about motherhood,
608
00:30:26,057 --> 00:30:27,909
and mothers and daughters
and that relationship.
609
00:30:27,942 --> 00:30:30,395
And Rihanna's very publicly a new mother.
610
00:30:30,428 --> 00:30:34,766
Listen, if anybody is going to get RiRi
to give us some more music,
611
00:30:34,799 --> 00:30:38,186
I guess it's Black Panther. (laughing)
612
00:30:38,219 --> 00:30:41,739
RIHANNA: ♪ Lift me up ♪
613
00:30:43,608 --> 00:30:46,778
♪ Hold me down ♪
614
00:30:46,811 --> 00:30:50,315
It was Rihanna's admiration
for the world of Wakanda
615
00:30:50,348 --> 00:30:52,917
that inspired her to even want to see
a cut of the film.
616
00:30:52,951 --> 00:30:56,104
And we she did, she was excitedto get back into the studio.
617
00:30:56,137 --> 00:30:59,991
And her collaboration with Tems,this amazing Nigerian-born artist as well
618
00:31:00,024 --> 00:31:02,360
and Ryan has a writing credit
on "Lift Me Up".
619
00:31:02,393 --> 00:31:04,362
We have to experience--
we're going to Lagos
620
00:31:04,395 --> 00:31:06,281
and--where we meet with Tems,
621
00:31:06,314 --> 00:31:08,766
and she recorded No Woman No Cry for us
that we used in the trailer.
622
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:11,402
TEMS: ♪ No woman no cry ♪
623
00:31:11,436 --> 00:31:17,292
What's so special about this is that
we recorded over four continents.
624
00:31:19,027 --> 00:31:21,996
Over 2500 hours in the studio…
625
00:31:23,882 --> 00:31:27,418
over 40 different vocalists and artists,
a hundred-piece orchestra,
626
00:31:27,452 --> 00:31:29,354
two completely different cultures.
627
00:31:30,638 --> 00:31:32,023
SINGER: ♪ And when I wake up… ♪
628
00:31:35,443 --> 00:31:38,212
WHOOPI:
How do you define the legacy of a King?
629
00:31:38,246 --> 00:31:39,614
LETITIA: He is a King.
630
00:31:39,647 --> 00:31:42,767
He is regal and a leader.
631
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:46,137
And T'challa is fortunate
632
00:31:46,170 --> 00:31:51,476
and blessed to have Chadwick Boseman
represent him as a character,
633
00:31:51,509 --> 00:31:55,263
because Chadwick Bosemanwas everything and more
634
00:31:55,296 --> 00:31:57,415
to showcase T'challa to the world.
635
00:31:57,448 --> 00:32:02,854
He had no excuses when hard work
was there to be done,
636
00:32:02,887 --> 00:32:04,072
no excuses.
637
00:32:04,789 --> 00:32:07,725
When you looked at him,you want to stand up straight.
638
00:32:07,759 --> 00:32:12,463
You want to show up earlier,
work longer and harder and you refuse
639
00:32:12,497 --> 00:32:14,515
to have any excuses yourself.
640
00:32:15,617 --> 00:32:18,152
KEVIN: Chadwickwas the only actor we discussed.
641
00:32:18,186 --> 00:32:19,804
He was the only actor we discussed
642
00:32:19,837 --> 00:32:21,673
because of almost everything
we'd seen him in.
643
00:32:21,706 --> 00:32:22,790
42.
644
00:32:23,992 --> 00:32:28,796
NATE: His portrayal of Jackie Robinsonwas so powerful because of the restraint.
645
00:32:28,830 --> 00:32:31,950
That is something T'challa
kind of exhibits.
646
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:33,384
Right? There's a dignity to him.
647
00:32:33,418 --> 00:32:35,787
King T'challa…
648
00:32:37,605 --> 00:32:40,291
the Black Panther.
649
00:32:41,225 --> 00:32:44,128
LUPITA: He had just a spiritual practice
650
00:32:44,162 --> 00:32:48,066
that made him more than just an actor.
651
00:32:48,099 --> 00:32:53,354
He was very much involved
in the advancement of humanity.
652
00:32:53,388 --> 00:32:56,924
And he sought to do
that through the roles he played.
653
00:32:56,958 --> 00:32:59,093
Mr. Brock, I'm just a ballplayer.
654
00:32:59,127 --> 00:33:01,195
No, no, no. You tell that
655
00:33:01,229 --> 00:33:04,148
to all the little colored boysplaying baseball in Florida today.
656
00:33:04,766 --> 00:33:07,435
To them, you a hero.
657
00:33:08,486 --> 00:33:11,622
ROBIN: Actor Chadwick Bosemanbeing a real life hero
658
00:33:11,656 --> 00:33:14,892
to children's at St. Jude's Hospitalstruggling with cancer.
659
00:33:14,926 --> 00:33:16,644
-Hi. How are you?
-Good.
660
00:33:16,678 --> 00:33:17,795
I love your movie.
661
00:33:17,829 --> 00:33:21,766
WHOOPI: In this Sirius XM interview,Bozeman gets emotional
662
00:33:21,799 --> 00:33:24,852
about terminal patientshe was communicating with.
663
00:33:24,886 --> 00:33:30,892
Their parents say they're trying to hold
on till this movie comes.
664
00:33:31,526 --> 00:33:37,148
Just to experience those two
little boys' anticipation of this movie.
665
00:33:37,181 --> 00:33:40,218
And when I found out that they--
666
00:33:46,924 --> 00:33:49,394
Yeah. It is--it is--it means a lot.
667
00:33:51,079 --> 00:33:54,365
WHOOPI: But he was privately battlingthe same disease.
668
00:33:54,399 --> 00:33:57,235
We turn now to the tributes
pouring in after the death
669
00:33:57,268 --> 00:34:00,738
of Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman
at just 43 years old.
670
00:34:00,772 --> 00:34:05,410
New details about Chadwick Boseman's
private battle with colon cancer.
671
00:34:05,443 --> 00:34:06,444
He got that diagnosis.
672
00:34:06,477 --> 00:34:09,180
It was being treated,all while filming several movies.
673
00:34:09,914 --> 00:34:14,018
WHOOPI: Bozeman's widow Simoneis carrying his torch
674
00:34:14,052 --> 00:34:17,055
and now publicly speakingfor the first time.
675
00:34:17,271 --> 00:34:20,308
Let me start by saying
how good it is to see you.
676
00:34:21,075 --> 00:34:22,076
It's good to see you too.
677
00:34:22,110 --> 00:34:25,446
Carrying this on,
I'm sure cannot be easy.
678
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:30,635
It has been the most challenging two years
679
00:34:30,668 --> 00:34:32,470
I've ever had in my life.
680
00:34:32,503 --> 00:34:33,888
We don't have any children
681
00:34:33,921 --> 00:34:36,074
and we were really faced
682
00:34:36,107 --> 00:34:39,210
-with this question of legacy.
-WHOOPI: Right.
683
00:34:39,243 --> 00:34:40,762
We sat down.
684
00:34:40,795 --> 00:34:45,299
He said, "You know,
I was thinking about a foundation."
685
00:34:45,333 --> 00:34:48,169
And he said, "For the arts.
Will you do that for me?"
686
00:34:48,202 --> 00:34:50,004
-"Of course, I will do anything for you."
-Yeah.
687
00:34:50,037 --> 00:34:53,858
And you know, and very,
very shortly after that he transitioned.
688
00:34:55,293 --> 00:34:57,845
WHOOPI: Bozeman's alma materHoward University
689
00:34:57,879 --> 00:35:00,548
named the college of fine arts after him.
690
00:35:00,581 --> 00:35:04,168
It was such a full circle moment
because he was able
691
00:35:04,202 --> 00:35:08,139
to go back to Howard forthe commencement speech in 2018
692
00:35:08,172 --> 00:35:11,542
and at that time they announced
the college was going to be reestablished.
693
00:35:12,143 --> 00:35:13,611
WHOOPI: Bozeman would tell graduates
694
00:35:13,644 --> 00:35:16,931
about adversity he facedearly in his career.
695
00:35:17,165 --> 00:35:19,567
Playing a role with Black stereotypes.
696
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:24,222
I was conflicted because
this role seemed to be wrapped up
697
00:35:24,255 --> 00:35:27,325
in assumptions about us as Black folk.
698
00:35:27,358 --> 00:35:30,061
Howard instilled in me
a certain amount of pride.
699
00:35:30,094 --> 00:35:33,114
And for my taste, this role didn't live
up to those standards.
700
00:35:33,147 --> 00:35:36,167
He was playing a character that, you know,
701
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:37,819
didn't really have very much
of a back story.
702
00:35:37,852 --> 00:35:39,187
-Uh-hmm.
-One of the questions was,
703
00:35:39,220 --> 00:35:41,539
"Where's my father? Where's my mother?"
704
00:35:41,572 --> 00:35:45,259
And his experience
with those producers was that, "Oh, well,
705
00:35:45,293 --> 00:35:48,563
obviously your mom's addicted to drugs
706
00:35:48,596 --> 00:35:51,582
and obviously your father abandoned you."
707
00:35:51,616 --> 00:35:54,285
When I questioned that method
of portrayal,
708
00:35:54,318 --> 00:35:57,438
a different path opened up for me,
709
00:35:57,471 --> 00:35:59,173
the path to my destiny.
710
00:35:59,207 --> 00:36:03,361
If he were not that person,
the person that would stand up
711
00:36:03,394 --> 00:36:04,645
for what he believed in,
712
00:36:04,679 --> 00:36:08,466
he would not have been right
for the role of T'challa.
713
00:36:08,499 --> 00:36:10,468
He wouldn't have been right
to carry that mantle.
714
00:36:10,501 --> 00:36:12,937
Did you ever think
you would fall for an actor?
715
00:36:13,704 --> 00:36:16,874
No. It was nowhere in my purview,
you know.
716
00:36:16,908 --> 00:36:20,862
I, I grew up in a small town
in the Bay Area.
717
00:36:20,895 --> 00:36:23,181
And I just wanted to work on concerts.
718
00:36:23,214 --> 00:36:25,483
I was working
at the Hollywood Bowl, and we did
719
00:36:25,516 --> 00:36:28,736
-a James Brown tribute concert…
-Right.
720
00:36:28,769 --> 00:36:31,189
…and he came on
as a special guest, and we met there.
721
00:36:31,222 --> 00:36:33,641
It was shortly after he did Get On Up.
722
00:36:33,674 --> 00:36:34,775
Hey!
723
00:36:34,809 --> 00:36:36,344
(screeching)
724
00:36:36,377 --> 00:36:37,845
I still kind of can't believe it.
725
00:36:37,879 --> 00:36:40,097
Wait a minute. What do you mean--you--
what can't you believe?
726
00:36:40,131 --> 00:36:42,934
It just I can't believe that--
727
00:36:44,452 --> 00:36:48,940
I can't believe that I was so lucky
that I got to love this person,
728
00:36:48,973 --> 00:36:51,092
and I also got them to love me too.
729
00:36:51,475 --> 00:36:54,845
Sure, he was an actor,
but he was an artist.
730
00:36:55,263 --> 00:37:00,084
He was an artist
and he was a leader and he was a king.
731
00:37:00,117 --> 00:37:03,821
That he chose me to beby his side for that is just--
732
00:37:04,722 --> 00:37:08,826
he's an ancestor nowand he is--and he is never leaving me.
733
00:37:08,859 --> 00:37:10,745
No, not ever, Queen.
734
00:37:10,778 --> 00:37:12,096
Never Queen.
735
00:37:12,129 --> 00:37:14,498
You are now queen and leader.
736
00:37:15,416 --> 00:37:17,902
Simone worked with Howard to establish
737
00:37:17,935 --> 00:37:20,755
the Chadwick A. BosemanMemorial Scholarship,
738
00:37:20,788 --> 00:37:24,442
which covers four yearsof tuition for Black artists
739
00:37:24,475 --> 00:37:26,043
at the fine arts school.
740
00:37:26,077 --> 00:37:29,630
You said you didn't have any kids,
but you know you have millions
741
00:37:29,664 --> 00:37:30,915
-of kids around the world.
-Yeah.
742
00:37:30,948 --> 00:37:34,585
The legacy that you are sharing
by doing this
743
00:37:34,619 --> 00:37:39,707
is huge,
because it's not just little boys,
744
00:37:39,740 --> 00:37:44,562
but all these little girls who now
don't necessarily have to be princesses.
745
00:37:44,595 --> 00:37:45,913
They can be warriors.
746
00:37:46,664 --> 00:37:50,151
Being a Boseman scholar
is an honor and also granting me
747
00:37:50,184 --> 00:37:53,554
opportunities to be in spaces
that I--that I wouldn't have been in.
748
00:37:54,322 --> 00:37:58,542
It reminds me every day
the things that I need to do to be able
749
00:37:58,576 --> 00:38:02,029
to walk in his footsteps
and replicate his excellence.
750
00:38:02,063 --> 00:38:05,383
SHAWN: The whole entire reason I cameto Howard was because of Chadwick Boseman.
751
00:38:05,416 --> 00:38:08,452
I want to be an actor and an artist,
and Chadwick Boseman's legacy
752
00:38:08,486 --> 00:38:13,457
has paved the way for me
in the sense that he opened doors.
753
00:38:13,491 --> 00:38:14,725
He was so connected to God.
754
00:38:14,759 --> 00:38:17,495
Knowing that he had a job to do,
755
00:38:17,528 --> 00:38:19,146
-he had to do his job…
-Yeah.
756
00:38:19,180 --> 00:38:21,265
…and nothing
was more important than that.
757
00:38:21,299 --> 00:38:24,218
Purpose is an essential element of you.
758
00:38:24,251 --> 00:38:28,039
It is the reason you are on the planet
at this particular time in history.
759
00:38:28,072 --> 00:38:30,741
Remember the struggles along the way
760
00:38:30,775 --> 00:38:34,161
are only meant to shape you
for your purpose.
761
00:38:34,195 --> 00:38:38,032
Stand up. You are a king.
762
00:38:38,883 --> 00:38:42,553
I know that when people
fall in love with that character,
763
00:38:42,586 --> 00:38:44,422
they're falling in love with Chad.
764
00:38:44,455 --> 00:38:47,291
WHOOPI: That love echoing in theatersaround the world
765
00:38:47,325 --> 00:38:50,795
for what would be his last time suiting upas T'challa
766
00:38:50,828 --> 00:38:53,614
in 2019's Avengers: Endgame…
767
00:38:53,647 --> 00:38:56,667
(audience cheering and applauding)
768
00:38:59,970 --> 00:39:01,205
MAN: Yes, baby!
769
00:39:03,307 --> 00:39:06,310
WHOOPI: …to the herowho never needed recognition,
770
00:39:06,344 --> 00:39:09,030
to the king who didn't want a crown…
771
00:39:09,063 --> 00:39:10,948
Who…
772
00:39:10,981 --> 00:39:12,450
Who are you?
773
00:39:12,483 --> 00:39:15,836
WHOOPI: …to the manwho modeled "Wakanda Forever,"
774
00:39:15,870 --> 00:39:20,991
please know your legacy will liveon forever.
775
00:39:23,094 --> 00:39:25,179
ROBIN: Our thanks to Whoopi Goldberg.
776
00:39:25,212 --> 00:39:28,649
The Chadwick Boseman Foundationfor the arts is raising money
777
00:39:28,682 --> 00:39:32,570
for causes that empower peopleof the African diaspora.
778
00:39:35,373 --> 00:39:39,043
Finally tonight,as promised for the first time anywhere,
779
00:39:39,076 --> 00:39:42,913
our exclusive lookat Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,
780
00:39:42,947 --> 00:39:45,116
opening November 11th.
781
00:39:47,368 --> 00:39:48,936
We are under attack.
782
00:39:49,737 --> 00:39:51,756
(people exclaiming)
783
00:39:55,943 --> 00:39:56,994
Here.
784
00:40:01,132 --> 00:40:03,150
(screams)
785
00:40:03,884 --> 00:40:04,802
(speaks Xhosa)
786
00:40:05,786 --> 00:40:07,438
-(man mumbles)
-Are you all right?
787
00:40:07,471 --> 00:40:09,423
Griot, activate the Sunbird.
788
00:40:09,457 --> 00:40:10,858
Shuri, where are you?
789
00:40:10,891 --> 00:40:12,426
Making my way to the city right now.
790
00:40:12,460 --> 00:40:15,096
-Stand down. That is an order!
-Mother, I'm with Aneka.
791
00:40:15,129 --> 00:40:16,247
We can provide air support.
792
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:17,581
RAMONDA:
Aneka, do not let her leave the lab.
793
00:40:17,615 --> 00:40:19,350
Mother, y-y-you're breaking up.
794
00:40:19,383 --> 00:40:20,401
-We can't hear you.
-RAMONDA: Shuri!
795
00:40:20,434 --> 00:40:21,519
Love you. Bye.
796
00:40:23,270 --> 00:40:24,822
You just hung up on the Queen.
797
00:40:24,855 --> 00:40:25,990
I just hung up on my mom.
798
00:40:26,023 --> 00:40:27,641
There's a difference. Come on, let's go!
