It's frustrating as hell.
I remember reading something like the actors saying they wouldn't do the movie if they recast t'challa.
It was a short sighted position as they've thrown a wrench in the BP universe growing. It would have been better for chadwick's legacy if they recast the role and built upon his work, and gave a % amount from all future sales to his family or a cancer/well charity in his name.
It really needed those hardnosed jew execs who bush'd scarlo to make that cold
move and fire anyone dissenting.
