Reports indicate that Marvel Studios is open to the idea of recasting the character T’Challa/Black Panther within the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Originally portrayed by the late Chadwick Boseman, who first appeared as T’Challa in “Captain America: Civil War” (2016), followed by his solo film “Black Panther” (2018) before his passing in 2020, it has been reported that Marvel Studios is seeking a new actor to step into the role of T’Challa.
Sneider mentioned that the studio is contemplating recasting T’Challa, since they are delving into the multiverse. Additionally, he highlighted Robert Downey Jr.’s reappearance as Doctor Doom in “Avengers: Doomsday” and “Avengers: Secret Wars” as evidence that Marvel might be willing to bring the character back with a new actor.
Last fall, it was suggested that the character of T’Challa was initially given to an unnamed actor, but they declined the opportunity because they felt apprehensive about possibly compromising their career by taking on a role that might have been overshadowed by Chadwick Boseman’s remarkable performance.
As a passionate cinephile, I can’t help but speculate about the future of T’Challa in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Though I am confident that we’ll see him again, it remains uncertain whether he will be involved in “Doomsday” or “Secret Wars” before the third installment of the Black Panther series. Stay tuned for updates!
Following his standout role in Black Panther, Chadwick Boseman reprised his character T’Challa in Avengers: Infinity War and made his final appearance in Avengers: Endgame in 2019, before passing away at the age of 43 in 2020 due to complications from colon cancer.
After Chadwick Boseman’s unfortunate demise, I found myself drawn to the role that his character, T’Challa, would play in the upcoming series. In this new chapter, director Ryan Coogler has decided to shift the narrative focus towards T’Challa’s sister, Shuri (played by Letitia Wright), as she steps up to become the superhero in the 2022 sequel Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
Last year, Wright teased that there was “a lot coming up” for the character.
On The View, the 31-year-old actress expressed that Shuri is among her most beloved characters. To be honest, she considers it a true blessing and can’t stress enough how thankful she feels for this character.
In January 2023, Wright said a third Black Panther blockbuster was “already in the works.”
Back in November, I learned that the movie was actively being developed – straight from the horse’s mouth, none other than Denzel Washington himself. Intriguingly, he mentioned that this upcoming blockbuster could very well be one of his last roles before he hangs up his acting boots for good.
The actor from “Gladiator II” mentioned during an interview on Australia’s Today show: “I portrayed Othello at the age of 22. Now, I will play it again at 70. Following that, I’ll take on Hannibal. Subsequently, I’ve been discussing a film project with Steve McQueen. Next, Ryan Coogler is penning a role for me in the upcoming “Black Panther”. After that, I’ll perform Othello again. Then, I plan to do King Lear. Following that, I plan to retire.”
The Worst Movies of 2024
12. Argylle
Similar to director Matthew Vaughn who appreciates ’60s and ’70s spy films with their quirky charm and occasional cheese, I too share this fondness. I don’t require every suspenseful film to be overly serious; there are already plenty of those around today. Therefore, I appreciate movies like Argylle that inject some character and wholeheartedly embrace extravagant action sequences.
However, much of what I adore in those classic films – the stunning locations, awe-inspiring practical stunts, genuine romantic tension – seems to be missing in Argylle. What we get instead is an immensely skilled cast stuck within a complex, convoluted plot that feels like a replica of superior movies. Adding to the disappointment are numerous green screen shots and one perplexingly strange post-credits scene – arguably the most bewildering I’ve ever encountered in a film.
11. The Crow
One might assume that remakes given ample time in development would result in the finest productions. The revival of the ’90s goth icon was initially announced a full 15 years ago, in 2008. One would think that by now, they’d have figured out how to make an outstanding Crow movie, wouldn’t they? Yet… Despite the intriguing blend of opera and the ultimate Hot Topic IP, the remake of The Crow in 2024 was a struggle to get through. Bill Skarsgard, who became instantly iconic this year as Nosferatu, was disappointingly forgettable as the new Crow, returning from the afterlife to avenge his beloved while brooding shirtlessly. While this version of The Crow isn’t as impressive as the original, it’s not significantly worse either.
10. Lift
- A generic title of no more than three words.
- Bland digital photography without style or panache.
- Big-name stars who are not too big to take a low-effort, high-salary paycheck.
- A plot that involves a bunch of international locations in countries where Netflix sells subscriptions.
- At least one sequence where they clearly never went to said international location and shot the entire thing on an obvious green screen instead.
9. IF
As a movie critic, I seldom come across films like John Krasinski’s “IF” these days. In the current Hollywood landscape, the primary objective seems to be extending and safeguarding intellectual property rather than creating authentic art. Many blockbusters are subjected to rigorous focus-grouping and testing until they lose every ounce of unique character. They are meticulously crafted to appeal to the largest potential viewer base, often at the expense of individuality and originality.
In stark contrast, “IF” is a film with no discernible target audience. The story follows a girl who experiences the loss of her mother and gains the ability to communicate with imaginary friends of other children. This narrative is too leisurely and somber for children and too sentimental and saccharine for adults. Despite its persistent urging for audiences to enjoy themselves, it fails to deliver on that promise, offering little amusement itself. (Even the “IF” IHOP menu didn’t leave a lasting impression.)
8. Trigger Warning
In the movie “Trigger Warning” (wink wink), Jessica Alba portrays an elite CIA agent who goes back to her small town and uncovers a plot involving a precious mine and a corrupt senator. With Redbox no longer around, these not-so-spectacular thrillers seem to have found their new home on Netflix’s “Because You Liked ‘Rebel Ridge'” list. (Please note: Even if you liked ‘Rebel Ridge’, I strongly advise against watching this.)
7. Kraven the Hunter
Have you ever pondered about how Kraven obtains his furry coat? If so, there’s a movie I recommend – “Kraven”. Unfortunately, if your curiosity primarily revolves around Kraven’s wardrobe, you might find this Spider-Man spinoff (without Spider-Man) lacking. The film is characterized by its lengthy and meandering narrative, with Aaron Taylor-Johnson portraying a hunter of men whose most distinct features are his muscular physique. He engages in combat with his father (a theatrically over-the-top and heavily accented Russell Crowe) and the Rhino, who, in this universe, is a bumbling Russian criminal, carrying a child-sized backpack filled with medicine to prevent him from transforming into a large, gray-skinned monster. It’s reported that “Kraven” was the final blow to Sony’s Spider-Man spinoff universe. For that, I will always be grateful to it, but it still wasn’t very good.
6. Rebel Moon — Part Two: The Scargiver
In late 2023, Zack Snyder’s take on Star Wars, titled “Star Wars Redesign” (Part One), featured an enjoyable team-building adventure across various quirky sci-fi worlds filled with unusual aliens and cool gadgets. However, the second part, known as “Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver,” turned out to be a drag due to its lengthy battle scenes, which were made even more tedious by Snyder’s excessive use of slow-motion shots. To put it plainly, it was almost a lullaby; I needed three attempts to finish it because the violent sequences kept putting me to sleep. The Scargiver certainly leaves its mark on the characters, though. I suspect that the R-rated director’s cut, titled “Rebel Moon – Chapter Two: Curse of Forgiveness,” will be much more engaging (though I haven’t watched it yet).
5. Night Swim
you almost drown before moving in, cut your hand while cleaning it, lose your cat near the pool, and ghostly arms start emerging from the filters at you. At some point, wouldn’t you just stop swimming? I mean, “Night Swim” doesn’t really scare me; living in New York City during August with two kids without a pool is scarier! They didn’t even name this movie “Pooltergeist,” which is disappointing. What are we doing here?
4. Red One
3. Borderlands
> In a future biography chronicling Cate Blanchett’s remarkable career, the transition from portraying Lydia Tár, a character who composes the score for ‘Monster Hunter’ due to financial necessity, to starring in this seemingly soul-less video game adaptation will undoubtedly make an intriguing contrast. And despite the subpar quality of the ‘Borderlands’ movie adaptation (and that’s being quite generous), it was somewhat refreshing, after a string of well-regarded video game adaptations and series, to encounter one so consistently poor. It seems nature may be on the mend.
2. Madame Web
Reminiscent of many pre-Marvel Studios Marvel films, the movie “Madame Web” appears somewhat awkward about its comic book origins, much like Dakota Johnson, who portrays the lead character. Despite being titled “Madame Web,” her character is never referred to as such on screen, and she seldom dons a superhero costume. The overall vibe suggests a hint of embarrassment about the production. Under the circumstances, that’s not unexpected. On a lighter note, it feels like watching “The Amazing Spider-Man” compared to “Spider-Man 2,” but imagine watching it with Kevin Feige – now that would be entertaining!
1. Megamind vs. the Doom Syndicate
The animated sequel from a well-known studio appears to be one of the most inexpensive-looking movies I’ve ever seen. It seems like an imitation (mockbuster) produced by The Asylum could look just as cheap. The city scenes, supposedly “Metro City,” appear flat, dull, and completely deserted. There are no people walking around or watching, except for one scene at a dance party. Instead, it appears that Megamind and the Doom Syndicate are battling over control of a ghost town. It’s like they made a movie set in a less foggy version of a Nintendo 64 Superman game. After waiting 14 years to produce a Megamind sequel, this is what they came up with? I can’t help but wonder what went wrong during the production process.
