Because he's working for one of the most… I would say the most powerful country in the world, except for Wakanda. In this world, I guess it's along with Wakanda," Freeman said."I guess he's a very useful ally to have in a country like America. He advocates for them, and I think that's very useful for them."Freeman explained that, since Ross's first appearance, the agent has navigated the grey areas of morality, making it hard to work out if he's a goodie or a villain."In those black-and-white terms, you're not sure if he's a goodie or a baddie," he said."And he's turned out to be a useful ally for [Wakanda] and I like that but he's not touchy-feely. He's not kind of cutesy. He's pretty straight. But he'll do what he can to sort of help the people he likes and loves."Mike Marsland//Getty ImagesRelated Black Panther's Florence Kasumba explains importance of Black queer representationOf course, Ross's whiteness plays a role in him being the outsider. For Freeman, however, it's not just his race, but him also being American and a government official that makes him "an unexpected ally"."He’s working for who some people regard as… you know, it’s the world’s only superpower, right? And any superpower doesn’t want to get its power challenged," the actor said."Whether Ross was Black, white or brown, he’d be within the heart of that. His main interest is to protect his own country."Clearly, he looks different. He doesn't look like the rest of the cast of Black Panther but at the same time, I think it's as much his nationality and his position in his government setup that makes him the outsider to Wakanda, and it makes him an unexpected ally, actually."Because I think it's as much his race as his status within the world’s only superpower, regardless of what colour he is."Marvel StudiosRelated Why Black Panther Wakanda Forever focuses on the female charactersWakanda Forever grapples with the loss of King T'Challa aka Black Panther played by late star Chadwick Boseman, introducing a new iteration of the Freeman, the sequel features returning stars Letitia Wright, Lupita Nyong'o, Angela Bassett, Danai Gurira and Winston Duke as well as MCU newcomers Michaela Coel, Dominique Thorne and Tenoch Panther Wakanda Forever has a release date of November 11, 2022.

Disney had already announced a sequel to Ryan Coogler’s 2018 hit, but it seemed impossible to keep making movies without Boseman as the eponymous superhero. Marvel eventually found a way, opting not to recast the role and instead take an ensemble approach that focuses on supporting characters with the upcoming “Black Panther Wakanda Forever.” But according to one of the film’s stars, Boseman still left a massive void on set. Martin Freeman, who reprises his role as Everett K. Ross, recently spoke to Collider about making the sequel without Boseman. While he acknowledges that the show had to go on, he emphasized that the crew missed Boseman as much as fans do. “It was strange, that side of it,” Freeman said. “On the one hand, you’re making the film that you’re there to make, and there are scores and scores of people on set, joined in this endeavor to make the film. But there’s also no question that, at the heart of it, there’s quite a gap now, and you felt it.” That said, Freeman had nothing but good things to say about his experience making the film. “With full respect to Ryan Coogler and everybody else, who’s sweating and bleeding to get this thing done properly, it was fun,” he said. “It was enjoyable. I was in and out of it quite quickly, I think. But I like playing Everett Ross. He’s a very fun character to play. He’s nicely simpatico for the story. He’s a good guy.” “But it was odd. Of course, it was odd with Chadwick not being there,” he continued. “There’s no way around that. I think everyone would find it pretty strange and sad, but at the same time, life things don’t just end. It’s not like, Well, that’s that’s happened, so we just all have to go off and never do it again.’” Despite Boseman’s absence, Freeman believes that the world of “Black Panther” is rich enough to sustain more films and is proud of the one they made. “When he passed, I thought, Okay, well maybe there just won’t be another one.’ But there are still other stories to tell within that world and other great characters,” he said. “I hope that we’ve made a good film. I trust Ryan Coogler a lot.” “Black Panther Wakanda Forever” will be released in theaters on November 11, 2022.
