I hate these bgol niggas with a passion
Now the triviality. Don't recast T'Challa and scrap Black Panther 2.

- Start date
I would not have a problem with Shuri being Black Panther.Other,than Shuri I will not watch BP 2 with other person playing Black Panther...
Have shui be panther in the sequel then wait a few years and soft reboot by having panther return in a fantast8c four sequel
I agree
Damn, so you are willing to let the Brothas work just die? Chadwick death will allow for another brotha to shine. That would mean even in death Chadwick is changing lives
The problem with casting after Chadwick Boseman is similar to casting for Tupac.
The actor might look like Tupac, but can't ask for shit. Or the actor might be great at acting but doesn't look the part.
Finding a mesh for both is difficult and often they just pick one...and depending on the one they pick and how it is written and directed determines how the end result will turn out
all this bring killmonger back tells me y'all really don't know about black panther.
i agree with the OP don't do a 2nd black panther movie.....
UNLESS
Shuri becomes the black panther and they CGI him in as king of the dead. they can spin it off the doom war or acts of vengeance arcs since they are bringing doom into the marvel universe

Gotta do like they did with Joaquin Phoenix and less than what they did with Jared Leto. Gotta create another version of him. To me it worked with Phoenix's Joker.
Shuri is the next Black Panther
Disney will not let this money machine go. Hell, Disney even made ALL theaters stop showing Black Panther in hopes that people would go sign up for Disney+.all this bring killmonger back tells me y'all really don't know about black panther.

As mentioned earlier, Shuri becomes the Black Panther in the comics. So, this makes sense.
Although other roles have been recast before, you can not in this situation. First, when others were recanted, it was a different continuity. Except for cases like Aunt Viv. The other huge problem is, that Bozeman's off camera impact is too great. This would make it virtually impossible for anyone to step in other than Shuri.
Killmonger as the Black Panther is a no go. Plus, he has his own story that could be told and made into a movie.

Don't forget about Ironman recast of Rodey Terrence Howard in Don Cheadle. That was a horrible recast involving two good actors.Disney will not let this money machine go. Hell, Disney even made ALL theaters stop showing Black Panther in hopes that people would go sign up for Disney+.

It was only awkward because of the of the height and skin tone difference. Don is a better actor.
I would say they were tone deaf to the Black community with that casting. Like the producers go "What's the big deal? They both black right?"
So if they are okay with replacing Chadwick.. I would go with Chiwetel Ejiofor.

Chiwitel already plays Baron Mordo in the Doctor Strange movies. He's the former ally turning villain. He's supposed to have a cameo in the Shang Chi movie.
Facts.... He is already in use so I would say then T'Challa has died. Big Up Shuri
What did you want to see in the casting? I thought Don was a great replacement under the circumstances.
Disney has already put up millions upon millions of dollars, as there were due to start filming next week. So there WILL be a recast.
The more people keep talking about: "Don't recast", or "Shuri should be BP", please understand that you are solely putting the decision in the hands of those not as culturally invested in this character as we may be. Shuri is not ready, and although she wore the mantle in the comic, it was only for a very brief time. It's a "role". Mourn the "man", but protect the role. Our kids (as well as us), NEED to see this type of positive reflection. The idea that people are saying to NOT recast is asinine. Without T'Challa, there's no Storm interaction. Without T'Challa there's no Namor rivalry. Without T'Challa, there's no Illuminati (as rumor is they are leaning toward Maestro Hulk story line in place of WWH). Nor is there the rivalry with Doctor Doom (which is when Shuri temporarily takes the mantle).
Keep arguing about it though. One day, you'll find out that Terrance Howard has been cast as T'Challa, and y'all gonna lose your shit.
As I stated before, JDW had a personal relationship with Chadwick, and is killing the game right now. I think he and Coogler can put together a great product, and he would represent Wakanda well.

First RIP to CB!! Personally i would love to see the character continue and i definitely could see them going the Shuri route. My personal pick and first thoughts were Nnamdi Asomgha.

Former professional athlete turned actor doing broadway plays. Has the bulid & look. Born in Africa(can use accent if needed). Just dont how strong his acting skills are at this point.

His role was not big enough for him to be out of the casting discussion. Mordo can be replaced. Chiwitel has the acting chops for sure.
To be honest, I really expect Disney to replace him. Batman, superman, wonder woman, spiderman, the flash, x-men,etc.all examples of the same characters being portrayed by a bunch of different people.
Looking outside of comic book movies look no further than James Bond.
Comic storyline or not they are not going build the franchise around a female Black Panther (not to say we won't see a snippet of it in sequel).
Obviously, Disney will take their time and be very methodical in their approach.

You are assuming they don't have bigger plans for the character in future movies.
Besides, Disney/marvel has a rule about not double dipping. Vision was supposed to the exception to the rule (although I am kind of confused as ti why Vision/Jarvis w
as considered double dipping).
If you mention Chris Evans, I think they gave him a pass because he never was in any Disney/Marvel movies prior to Captain America.
Chris Evans and micheal b were both part of marvel movies before joining MCU. Chiwitel I seriously doubt be casted as the next panther since he already has a role in the MCU. And War machine being being replaced was much easier since he was a sidekick lol.
They would have to bring in Storm in order in to do this properly..probably may also wind up bringing the XMen into the MCU a little sooner than expected
As for recasting..if they were thinking of putting John Boyega in the role they better think again seeing how he currently speaking out against Disney
How do you have Black Panther without the gottdamn Black Panther?? Have you seen how hard it was to replace Christopher Reeves as Superman when someone is perfect for the role and embodies the part? Can't recast him and bring back the old actors, too much emotion attached. Shuri might work.....buuuuuuutttt Killmonger burned the garden with the heart shaped herb. Do something else, this is too hard to fix. Far too soon, do another universe or something. Let his portrayal stand...
So the "Don't recast." crowd never want to see T'Challa on screen forever? You're all okay with Shuri forever being the Black Panther?
I'm just asking because as amazing as the Chadwick's portrayal & offscreen presence was isn't the character itself legendary & a role model for many young people?
What if DC had this same thoughts when Christopher Reeves was paralyzed? Just never portray Superman ever again.
Or what about the Joker when Heath Ledger died. Never have the Joker on screen again because of the way Heath portrayed the character.
Many people think Wolverine shouldn't be recast because of the portrayal of Hugh Jackman.
I believe Black Panther/T'Challa is too important to just shelve forever. Shuri can have her moment in Black Panther 2 because 2022 or even 2023 is too soon to recast the role.
But eventually Disney will have to recast the role. It's going to be divisive of course. But you can't let a hero of many young black men be dead with so many amazing stories yet to be told.
I don't believe Chadwick would have taken this role if he believed after he past they would just kill (or equivalent) off the character forever.
Celebrate this man's life & work definitely. But don't just eliminate one of the few positive black superheroes that exist from film forever.

The difference is the existence of the MCU. With Superman and Reeves, it was a new movie, with a new cast. This is one of the reasons Joaquin Phoenix worked as Joker. There was no attachment to Ledger's world.
If they are to continue BP in the MCU, a recast will be super difficult and will probably not be as accepted because of the emotional attachment. There could be a reboot outside of the MCU.
Also, for those saying Shuri can't do it because it cuts out Storm, Namur, no herb, etc., remember and realize this. Marvel's MCU has taken a bunch of liberties with storylines and characters. Two of the biggest have been Thanos and Hulk. Both are far from the comics depictions.
My point is, canon can be changed.
I would like to offer this food for thought as well. Why are people acting like Black Panther is the only black character??? This is a perfect time to launch Blue Marvel, the most powerful black character in Marvel.
When I saw a clip tribute to Chadwick boseman judging from his words he understands the importance of black panther. He knew thecharacter was bigger than himself so I think he wouldn't mind passing the torch or being replaced and the sequel is two uears away they havent even begun shooting. at the above pic black panther is important to our youth because it gives them a hero who represents no unity and a positive figure to look up to . me personally I say replace him with another actor and not shuri. I'm not familiar with her run as panther in the comics and Wakanda is supposed to be going up against atlantis in the sequels. I want to se t'challa go up against major not shuri
Not Marvel Studios, FOX, so they don't count. What is considered MCU is only movies/shows under the Marvel Studios banner and tangentially the Netflix stuff.
I don't give a fuck if I ever see Namor onscreen and I think the concept of the Illuminati is ass.
