‘Black Panther’ Producer Reveals the Deleted Scene Ryan Coogler Fought to Keep

*During a recent interview with Empire, “Black Panther executive producer Nate Moore discussed a number of key moments that didn’t make it into the final cut of the film. But he touched on one particular scene that both he and director Ryan Coogler fought hard on before agreeing to let go in order to keep the film’s pacing tight.

According to Moore, at one point in the movie, there’s a scene before the battle between the Dora Milaje and the Border Tribe in which Okoye and W’Kabi discuss their conflicting views about the Wakandan usurper that would have both emphasized their relationship and foreshadowed their showdown, per gizmodo.com.

He said on Empire’s podcast:

So in the film it is more than hinted at that they’re a couple, but there is a scene directly after Killmonger takes the throne where you hear both characters articulate their point of view as to why they should or shouldn’t follow this man and it’s one of the most well-acted scenes I’ve ever been a part of.

Unfortunately, it occurred at a point in the movie where audiences just wanted to get to the resolution and so it slowed down a part of the movie and we were afraid audiences were checking out. We were also afraid if we took it out we’re going to ruin this movie—‘guys we’re going to ruin this movie; let’s not take it out.’ We didn’t take it out for three or four screenings and we finally took it out and I think Ryan and I were probably the last men on that beach saying don’t take it out.”

Moore added that the scene will be a part of “Black Panther’s” extras when the movie is released on DVD in the future.
