It appears that Marvel Studios might be considering a new actor to portray T’Challa in future Black Panther installments following Chadwick Boseman’s passing. The response from fans has been mixed, given the long-running narrative of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Unlike other film series, which have existed for longer periods, the MCU has been weaving one continuous story for close to two decades now. This interconnected universe and the consistent portrayal of key characters by their respective actors over many years make it a unique cinematic experiment, but one that also presents complex challenges for Marvel Studios and its team of filmmakers.
2020 saw the passing away of Chadwick Boseman, who portrayed Black Panther, due to colon cancer. This shocking news was met with disbelief by fans and colleagues alike because Boseman had been hiding his illness for quite some time. His untimely death left a deep void as he was an exceptionally gifted actor, and his journey in the Marvel world was just starting to unfold. At the moment of his passing, Boseman had only starred in one standalone movie and was set to reprise his role in a Black Panther sequel.
Regrettably, the production of that movie ceased when Boseman tragically passed away. Instead, “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” chose to address his character’s demise within the storyline, choosing to write T’Challa out of the story off-screen. The film explored the aftermath of T’Challa’s death in Wakanda and eventually saw Shuri inheriting the mantle of Black Panther. Furthermore, a hint was subtly introduced at the end of the movie suggesting that T’Challa had a son who shared his father’s name.
According to journalist Jeff Sneider’s latest reports, Marvel Studios may be considering a recast for the character T’Challa in future Black Panther appearances. Chadwick Boseman’s portrayal will remain as is, but a fresh take on the character could potentially appear via the multiverse, potentially in either Avengers: Doomsday or Avengers: Secret Wars. Sneider mentioned that an unknown actor was offered the role last fall, but declined. Marvel continues to search for a suitable replacement, with plans for Black Panther 3 in development and Ryan Coogler still attached, although details about the project are scarce at this time and it’s unclear if the new T’Challa will be at the center of the story.
Ryan Coogler is currently developing a new film titled “Sinners,” set for release towards the end of this year. Given this, it’s reasonable to assume that he’s in the preliminary stages of working on Black Panther 3 as well. However, Denzel Washington hinted at his involvement in the upcoming Black Panther movie without providing specific details. Sneider, who has a varied history with exclusives, accurately predicted Robert Downey Jr.’s casting as Doctor Doom before the official announcement. Therefore, while it’s intriguing news, wait for confirmation from Marvel Studios before taking it as fact.
No matter what, the rumor has sparked excitement and debate among Marvel enthusiasts. Some fans are expressing strong disagreement, considering the move as ill-timed and disrespectful, while others are eager for the possible comeback of T’Challa. Check out some fan reactions here.
Black Panther Fans Would Prefer T’Challa’s Son
@JessyAraiza3’s suggestion on Twitter: “Instead, let’s use his son who is also called T’Challa and make him older to become Black Panther. This seems like a good plan, especially if Shuri is no longer going to take on the role.
@TheSliceofAnime on Twitter: “They’ve captured the child, but he’ll be returned in a decade. In the meantime, create other engaging characters for the audience to enjoy.
Some Marvel Fans Think Recasting Black Panther Is The Right Move
@ResonantJustice on Twitter: ‘In hindsight, it was the correct choice, a decision that ought to have been taken in 2021. They really should have chosen to re-cast the character.’
Reddit user u/RandyS0725 on Twitter: “I feel it’s been long enough, I’d be excited to see a different actor play the MCU T’Challa (T’Chaka’s son, Shuri’s brother). I hope this change indicates that Marvel Studios has some time-travel storylines planned for Black Panther, as I believe it wouldn’t make sense otherwise.
Some Black Panther Fans Think It’s Too Late to Recast
@MelaninMugen on Twitter: “Too fu–ing late for that. Should’ve did that for Black Panther 2.”
@will18872 on Twitter: “Since the second film was a tribute to his demise, it feels like there’s no purpose discussing it further now.
Other Black Panther Fans Think The Move is Disrespectful
@FMark2011 on Twitter expressed disbelief and frustration in the following way: “It seems there was a WHOLE NEW MOVIE dedicated to preserving his legacy. I can’t help but wonder, what were they thinking?
@relentlessglyph on Twitter: “This is a really sh–ty thing to do… hopefully they reconsider”
Black Panther Fan Castings Have Already Begun
@dj0ssef on Twitter: “Damson Idris missed out on John Stewart, this could be the next best thing.”
@MACHESMALONE on Twitter: “Damson Idris, Aldis Hodge, Yahya Abdul Mateen II”
