Guess who doesn't work for Marvel (aside from cameos in their movies and TV shows) and doesn't have any say about what movies are being made?
Stan Lee.
4 Actors Are In The Running For Black Panther?
- Thread starter Big Boss
- Start date
Stan Lee.
the op article/report does seem sketchy simply because idris is already playing a viking in the thor/avengers universe. its not like ghost rider/spiderman/xmen where they're each separate universes and franchises
with that said, i root for all black actors to do well but michael b. needs to
as far as t'challa considerations. Any of the other 3 actors named, as well as aldis hodge as someone mentioned, would be fantastic choices. I wouldn't mind one bit if they went the young actor route with hodge or boseman but if there's any validity to this then id root for chiwetel to get it, and of course idris is that dude too! (unlikely, again, as that would be)

Best give up hope for any BP solo movie coming out anytime soon. Marvel is too coward to pull the trigger. It's not a case like Blade, where they could cast a Black actor as the lead and surround him by Whites and other non-Blacks. A BP film would have to have a majority Black cast, and it will be hard for them to do the typical Hollywood "whitewashing" . They are going to continue to flake out and hide behind excuses until they can't anymore. Speaks volumes when they are quick to greenlight films for obscure characters like Ant-Man and Doctor Strange, but not BP.
All that said, it is likely they could introduce him in another film like any of The Avengers sequels, and if he's a hit with audiences they may go right ahead and make the solo film. I doubt it will actually happen, but it's possible.

Stan Lee wouldn't know shyt about the inner workings of Marvel Studios because the man has never worked for Marvel Studios. It's been over two decades since he even gad a job with Marvel Comics.
He was just talking about what he thought was going to happen in that interview with Larry King that the article you linked to referred to.
But dude has no inside knowledge on anything anymore.

My man Ray "Voodoo" TatumWhy are they over looking Aldis Hodge?
They should give it to an unkown if it ain't Chiwetel or Idris. This nikka only 27. The bytches that know of him think he cute too so they definitely gon show up to watch.

Do Better.
They should just have Woody Harrelson play the lead role.
Where the hell has "good journalism" disappeared to, how can Elba be in the running for "Black Panther" if he's already Heimdall in the Thor franchise. Funny how it's only the current "go to" Black actors who are allegedly in the running
. Marvel are very left field, so it probably wont be any of them when they eventually cast an actor to play the character whenever that may be.
Why wouldn't he be? Straight from his own words he said he wants to be a hero with more involvement & has made it no secret.
They can recast Heimdall. The recasted Bruce Banner & James Rhodes.
BP would be better as one of those Neflix series that Marvel is developing...
I can see them doing a Black Panther film through a Captain America film, like how they've essentially made a Black Widow film through Captain America 2.

MANDE KANG
They got a Black Widow film coming out before BP?
Heeellllll nah
and lol @ MBJ being in the runnings. Dude is too goofy looking and doesn't have an intimidating look on him what so ever to pull off a character like T'Challa.

So when Lee says a Black Panther movie is coming, he just joking around
