(25 Jul 2022) FOR CLEAN VERSION SEE STORY NUMBER: 4389907 RESTRICTION SUMMARY: ASSOCIATED PRESS San Diego, 23 July 2022 1. Actor Florence Kasumba speaks to reporter 2. SOUNDBITE (English) Florence Kasumba, actor, on the late star of the first "Black Panther" film, Chadwick Boseman: "Well, he has been a role model from Day One. He was someone who was extremely positive. So, when we worked on the first movie, we got a feeling of how important it is to be true to these stories and to give everything we have. Nothing has changed. And especially now that he's not with us, I still feel him. Yeah, there's not a single day where I'm not thinking of him. And anytime I hear 'Black Panther,' I think of him. And that's good. That's a positive thing, 4. SOUNDBITE (English) Alex Livinalli and Mabel Cadena, actors: Livinalli: "His presence was felt that he wasn't there physically, but he was there. And that's important." Cadena: "But you know something? I think for him, I'm here, because he opened a lot of doors. He opened the world. And I think I'm really grateful because Chadwick was a really important, you know, symbol in this in this world, in the industry, inside the industry. And, for him, people like me now can dream to be a superhero." 5. SOUNDBITE (English) Winston Duke, actor: "We felt his presence every single day and we felt the lack of having him there every single day. He was a very powerful and gentle leader that didn't need to say much for you to know that he was the lead of the movie. And with people like that, you feel them so much more when they're not there."
