Chadwick Boseman's lead role in the superhero movie sequel to Black Panther will not be recast following the actor's death, Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige said on Thursday (Dec 10).

Feige told a Disney presentation for investors that Boseman's performance as the proud Black leader of the fictional land of Wakanda was iconic, and that he would not be replaced.
