They didnt even need to do that. Just recast and keep it moving. We had 3 different white men play peter parker, we cant get a recast of another black man? Smh
Statements like this just show ignorance. Tom Holland has been the MCU Spiderman since the beginning. The other two played him in completely different series that aren't part of this universe. There was zero continuity - each time they started over from the beginning with a different director and the entire cast was different. Is that what you wanted to do here?
If they had just recast, then do you recast all the roles and start over? Can't do that or you lose continuity with the rest of the MCU.
So do you recast T'Challa and have him play Chadwick Boseman's version of the character? That would be stilted as hell, asking another actor to interpret the character exactly how the previous actor did it is a recipe for a shytty performance. It also would be distracting cause instead of paying attention to the movie, all the attention would just be on how well he did or did not match Chadwick's interpretation.
So do you have him put his own interpretation on the character, but pretend to be playing the same T'Challa? That makes all the relationships and plot lines awkward, and would still result in the same distracting comparisons, maybe even worse. Plus it completely glosses over Chadwick's death and takes away the entire tribute aspect.
The only way to do it is to acknowledge that the previous T'Challa died and find a way to eventually introduce a new T'Challa, either by having his son rise up or by stealing a T'Challa from the multiverse or somehow have him return from the spiritual plane a changed being. And likely they WILL do that, they're just gonna take their time and be respectful to Chadwick by celebrating and mourning him with this movie first.
The amount of anger and emotion that is expressed over fukking trailers on this site blows my mind. It's pretty much just The Coli and alt-right sites that get this fukking upset over every single Black movie that ever gets made before they've even seen it. You were probably one of the 100 people here who were shytting on Get Out and calling it corny and lame based on the trailer too.
