I think the original one still had Shuri as BP until the end when it’s handed back to T’Challa. I wouldn’t have had a problem with that since the exact same thing occurred in the comics.

IS THIS A JOKE BREAUGH?
MARVEL NEVER HAD A PROBLEM
WITH RECASTING....
SEE ED NORTON/RUFFALO
TERRANCE HOWARD/CHEADLE
THEY DIDNT RECAST OUT
OF RESPECT TO THE LEGEND CHADWICK.

nikka fukk you.
I think it shows they were always planning on phasing out T'Challa and never had serious long term plans for the character in the first place.
Chad's death just sped everything up earlier than schedule and made it easier
Remember back in 2019/early 2020 it was rumored that Boseman was unhappy with Marvel about being replaced by Shurri.
You would think your lead actor passing and not recasting would cause a significant delay but BP2 was still going to make it's original release date that was set before Chad died even after he passed. That only changed when the Shurri actress got hurt on set. So they had to pause.
Marvel feel like they can't tell the story of Captain America 4 without the General Ross character, so recast, they feel like they could however tell the same story for BP2 even without T'Challa so didn't.
@Son_Of_God is probably right that the original script probably had Shurri as the main bp for half or most of the movie originally and T'Challa MIA for parts. If you look at this phase they've introduced/introducing female counter parts for the male Avengers. No reason why it wouldn't have been different here even if Chad was still alive
Ross doesn't hold the same weight as T'Challa. He's not a popular character or the face of a franchise, but most importantly there is no director present with enough clout to influence the decision either like with Coogler.
I don't know why people think Fiege is the only person who made the decision not to recast. They went to Coogler, ask him for his input, and he decided he didn't want a recast and that was that.

I watched that youtube video of the guys discussing the issue and it was pretty enlightening. Not recasting T'Challa in the aftermath of the loss of Chadwick is still probably the best idea but not recasting him at all is a terrible idea.
Because he's just as important as Bruce Wayne, Peter Parker, Clark Kent or Tony Stark. And with none of these guys would their loss mean that they're permanently gone and their sister, cousin, etc..takes over indefinitely.
But that's what they're doing and it makes zero sense.
Because they could easily get another version of T'Challa from the multiverse, get a time variant, or create a modified clone (Clearly Wakanda can accomplish that).
As for Coogler wanting to hand the role to Shuri even before Chadwick's passing it shows that he doesn't get the character, doesn't like him, and didn't fully respect the character either.
Because you honestly need someone like Snyder, who fought for his movie, Charlie Cox, who fought for Daredevil to be properly done, and Ryan Reynolds who fought for an R-rate Deadpool and got it. From Disney. Who want to make every Marvel film unrealistically child friendly and comedic.
As for T'Challa he's literally supposed to be the wealthiest guy on earth (via Vibranium), one of the smartest guys on earth (He has multiple degrees and he's up there with Reed Richards and Bruce Banner in intelligence), and one of the best fighters on earth similar to batman.
But that's not what was show in Black Panther with him losing a one on one fight to a regular dude which made no sense. Him being outsmarted by regular villains makes no sense, and him not being as smart as Shuri was unrealistic as well.
And funnily enough the Black Panther cartoon that aired on BET was a far better version of Black Panther. Which Coogler couldn't or wouldn't do.
Some of the things in the show that T'Challa deals with and handles are:
An invasion of Wakanda by the US
An African nation invades as well
Ulysses Klaw invades with his minions
Juggernaut(!) invades with them
The Black Knight invades
And Radioactive Man along with them
He then basically deals with all the threats at the same time in a sequential manner showing brilliant strategic thinking while Shuri and others support him saving Wakanda.
Now it's doubtful Coogler ever watched the show. And if he did he ignored it.

It’s not about Chadwick Boseman
We all recognize he was a tremendous talent but it’s not about Chadwick it’s about BLACK PANTHER
Jesus why the fukk can’t people understand this?
He needs to be recast the movie wasn’t called CHADWICK BOSEMAN or CHADWICK BOSEMAN WAKANDA FOREVER it’s BLACK PANTHER.. There’s no character in the comics named Chadwick Boseman.
There’s mad young hungry black actors that can body this role..
Franklin from Snowfall would murder this shyt
