Wakanda forever.
As the world mourns the loss of Chadwick Boseman, Whoopi Goldberg thinks that Disney should honor the late “Black Panther” star with a Wakanda-inspired theme park at one of its resorts.
Boseman, 43, passed away on Friday following a private battle with colon cancer. The actor played hero T’Challa as the Black Panther in the Marvel cinematic universe – rousing Goldberg to call out the entertainment giant, which also happens to be Marvel's parent company.

Fans applauded the idea of a “totally immersive” experience inspired by the blockbuster “Black Panther.”
Disney previously announced a Marvel-themed expansion at Disney California Adventure park with the buzzed-about Avengers Campus, a project that has been delayed by the coronavirus pandemic. The Disney Parks Blog teased that guests could fly with the Avengers “to Wakanda and beyond” through a new E-Ticket attraction and enjoy “heroic encounters” with characters from Wakanda.
Disney was contacted for further comment.
