The Black Panther sequel had the second-biggest opening of the year, and it paid tribute to late actor Chadwick Boseman.
The sequel to the 2018 Marvel superhero film "Black Panther" is in theaters now. "Wakanda Forever" focuses on how the fictional African nation deals with the death of its king and superhero Black Panther following the real-life death of actor Chadwick Boseman. Erik Davis, director of editorial and social at Fandango. joins CBS News to discuss the film.

Boseman, who played King T'Challa in 2018's "Black Panther" and several other Marvel films, died in 2020 at age 43 after a private, four-year battle with colon cancer.
The company said on Thursday that instead of focusing on T'Challa's storyline, "Black Panther 2" will "explore the world of Wakanda."
A recently publicized text message from late actor Chadwick Boseman gives even more insight into how much of a real superhero he was to his youngest fans.
"There was an authenticity and a grace and respect to not just each role that he was inhabiting but also I think to what it meant to the Black community each he stepped in front of the camera," Johnson said.
"For him to see [a superhero] that looked like him or looked like his father, as far as a Black man that's saving the world, that meant a lot to him," his dad told CBS News.
In addition to tributes for the "Black Panther" actor, racial justice was a major theme of the VMAs shaped by the coronavirus pandemic.
The star of "Black Panther" died at age 43, following a four-year fight against colon cancer.
