Gen V Season 2 will mirror another superhero story that confronted real-world tragedy.
Just as Boseman was not recast in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, it is the right choice to respect Perdomo via Andre's legacy and ongoing influence in Gen V Season 2.
Marvel's Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, another well-known superhero story with real-world hardship, set a standard for how to respectfully honor the passing of a great actor. The Marvel Cinematic Universe sequel film omitted a new T'Challa following Chadwick Boseman's death. In its first scene, Wakanda Forever focused on T'Challa's death; his legacy and the emptiness left by his absence were very vital to the narrative and Shri's (Letitia Wright) character arc for the whole movie.
