Deadline reported that Executive Vice President Victoria Alonso has dismissed the speculations about digitally recreating Boseman for the sequel. She told Argentinian, "There’s only one Chadwick, and he’s no longer with us. Sadly, our king has died in real life, not only in fiction, and we’re taking a little time to see how we continue the story and how to honor this chapter of what has unexpectedly happened to us, so painful and terrible to be honest. Chadwick wasn’t only a wonderful human being, every day of the five years we spent together, but also, I believe, that what he did as a character elevated us as a company, and has left his moment on history. "

Black Panther and MCU fans are still mourning the loss and were in dread apparently to know that Boseman could have a digital double. Now, they can heave a sigh of relief.
