Fige remembers his final meeting with Bozeman, where the actor was thrilled about voicing Tichala in the What If animated series and, and eager for A, lively follow-up Black Panther movie.

Right after the loss in 2020, Fagie and Disney CEO Bob Iger made a personal visit to Coogler, a gesture that highlighted real compassion, beyond business.
