AI Summary

Kevin Feige has revealed details about the casting process for the next Black Panther film. According to Feige, director Ryan Coogler met with actor David Jonsson six months prior to the announcement of Jonsson's casting. This secret meeting between Coogler and Jonsson appears to have been a pivotal moment in the casting process. Feige has stated that Coogler identified Jonsson as his next leading man after their meeting, suggesting that Coogler had a clear vision for the role from the outset. The fact that Coogler and Feige had not yet begun searching for a new Black Panther at the time of the meeting implies that Jonsson's casting was a deliberate choice rather than a result of a broader search process.
