Breh,these people at Disney get paid a lot of money to "figure it out" lol. If Disney doesn't think the box office will be as big with anybody else,they will 100% go back to Michael B Jordan,mark my words. They could easily make it to where Killmonger was faking dead,but ends up killing Tchalla while he's holding him. Killmonger was the one who had them destroy the herbs,how do you know he didn't save one for himself
? You are right about him being a maniac though lol,but fukk it then. Take a page out of Lion King and just show us what Pride Rock(Wakanda) looked like while Scar(Killmonger) was in charge. It would be very different,and maybe he would just end up fighting Avengers who are attempting to free the Wakandans from his control. I think you would still keep elements of the Black Panther character who didn't always cooperate with the Avengers,and was pretty stern on locking Wakanda away from outsiders. He simply reverses all that humanitarian shyt Tchalla was on and he is still in a sense the Black Panther. And to top it off if you make it clear he is the villian,you would set it up better for people to root for Shuri to eventually figure out a plan to take over the mantle and take the crown back and get revenge for Tchalla,you could even bring in Storm as a wife if you need more box office
I doubt that Disney will use Killmonger as Black Panther. He was the villain in the first movie and the Wakandans won’t feel comfortable with following him after he tried killing T’Challa and Shuri and starting warfare in cities across the world. Disney will likely just go with a fairly less known actor or they will go for some rising big names like John David Washington and Aldis Hodge.
. They didnt want to follow him after he killed Tchalla before but did based on tradition,up until Tchalla returned. Being this is Wakanda it wouldn't neccessarily matter what the outside world thinks or wants if he closes it off. Having a villian as the lead would be different and a twist if you don't want to risk it with a recast. And yes a recast is risky,if you cast the wrong person. You have to admit it would be "safer" to go with Killmonger since he was already loved,even as the villian of the franchise.
