That doesn’t mean anything. Tom Holland is 5’6 and RDJ is 5’7 but yet they manage to make the best out of their roles. Height has nothing to do with a persons ability to act.
I'm not talking about acting ability, I'm talking as a fit for the character of T'Challa. T'Challa is supposed to be a tall man. We can't have a 5'9 Black Panther lol :scust:

Are you still in high school? That is a very immature thing to say. Plenty of people think JDW should be the new T’Challa, hardly anyone has ever made a huge deal about his height. You on some hating ass shyt right now.

How is it immature to want the actor to look like the character he is supposed to incarnate? Would you say the same thing if they had picked a skinny Black man or a fat one to be T'Challa? Why all that suddenly changes for height?

If they give him hidden heels to have 1 or 2 more inches, then it's fine.

Weight is something that can change and 5’9 is obviously not tall but it is still average height so I’m not sure why your making a big deal out of this. :yeshrug:

I feel like you're the one who is making a big deal out of what I said. I meant it but to say I'm immature for wanting a super human to be above average in height like the OG character is funny to me. T'Challa and all these super humans are supposed to be above average in intelligence, muscle mass, fighting skills, dough...

I don't want him to have to look up to look Chris Evans in the eyes :mjlol: The King of Wakanda just as tall as Ant-Man? :picard:

I dont see it. Coogler wrote his version of Shuri to be specifically T'Challa's Q to his Bond. He said that himself and they casted accordingly. It would be too much of a stretch to now have her become a warrior.
She will be a ultra high point going forward...they had her on the battle field for Endgame, right??

Wolverine is short in the comic books but they cast a guy who over 6 foot
Batman was tall in the comics but they cast an average height Michael Keaton.
Height is kinda nitpicking when you’re looking for the right actor
