The iconic 2025 co-star David Jonsson refused to talk to: “It just felt right”When the world learned of the tragic passing of Chadwick Boseman in 2020, huge questions hung over the Black Panther franchise that he had helped establish. In 2025, Jonsson appeared in Francis Lawrence’s adaptation of Stephen King’s The Long Walk. Speaking to Empire to promote the film, Jonsson spoke about one co-star in particular – the legendary Mark Hamill. This approach makes a lot more sense when you learn of Hamill’s role in The Long Walk. The Long Walk was a major success on every level.
