Chadwick Boseman is Unhappy With the Black Panther Franchise

Chadwick-Boseman-Black-Panther-ht-hb-180212_16x9_992-750x422.jpg



Hearing that Chadwick Boseman is unhappy with the direction that the Black Panther franchise is taking might come as a surprise to a lot of people, but when you hear just why that is you might understand a little better, or you might want to tell him to calm down and just step aside depending on your point of view. In any case, Scott Campbell of We Got This Covered has shed a little light on why Boseman might be a little sore when it comes to what will be happening to Black Panther once the sequel comes out, which is closer to the comics than several of the story ideas we’ve seen have been at this point. It would appear that Shuri, T’Challa’s sister, will be taking over as Black Panther eventually, which means that at some point Boseman will be getting phased out of the role and possibly will be seen as a lesser or non-existent character in the MCU eventually. That sounds like a pretty dire situation for a hero that was so hyped up upon his entrance to the big screen, but it does sound as though this is the direction that the sequel is leaning towards and while a lot of people are likely to sit there with their jaws hanging down some are likely cheering to see a black woman take the lead of a major motion picture, especially when it’s for the MCU. In the meantime though, T’Challa will apparently still show up for the sequel and even for the next Avengers movie, but it does sound as though his days could be numbered.

Seriously speaking it’s hard to feel too bad for Boseman since the idea of him being the first black Marvel superhero on the big screen is inaccurate anyway considering how Wesley Snipes was snubbed for that mention given that Blade IS a Marvel hero and he DID come out long before Black Panther was even given serious consideration for the big screen. Richard Newby of The Hollywood Reporter can give you more on this. It’s also enough to say that Black Panther was a milestone for the still-growing MCU, but it was a great action movie that received way too much hype for what it ended up delivering. The supposed epic was fun to watch and engaging and raised several moral questions throughout the movie, but it wasn’t quite as life-changing as so many people were claiming. It was a fun movie, but it wasn’t so groundbreaking as to be considered as a whole new chapter in the MCU that would become dominant, much as Captain Marvel wasn’t worth every bit of the hype either. They’re great action movies, but apart from that they’re comic book movies in which the impossible becomes possible by movie magic and comic book reasoning. So feeling sorry for Boseman at this point is possible but it’s kind of difficult since the fact that he’s such a talented actor means that Black Panther should likely be a feather in his cap for having brought it to the fans, but not the culmination of his career.

It is kind of amusing that the MCU is choosing to now follow the source material a bit closer since Shuri did take over for her brother in the comics. It’s the timing really that’s amusing since there’s a She-Hulk show coming, a Ms. Marvel show coming, a movie about Black Widow, and mention of Captain Marvel 2, so it does feel as though the Marvel universe is starting to lean more towards the female heroes in a big way so as to satisfy fans that are still clambering for more female representation despite the fact that such a thing has already been happening. Regardless of the entire argument over the prominence of men and women in the MCU, it does feel, in a way, that Boseman has a legitimate gripe since he did help to bring one of the most iconic heroes in the Marvel universe to life and now feels that he’s being pushed to the side after a limited appearance in Civil War, Infinity War, and especially Endgame. There doesn’t appear to be a lot of chances for him to reclaim his title once Shuri takes over unless Marvel has a plan further down the road than anyone is able to see for T’Challa to come back and reclaim the throne. Right now it would appear that his irritation is well-founded since women are coming up in a big way in the MCU and, should they be able to shoulder the responsibility of it, will have easily earned their place and be counted on to keep carrying the Marvel brand for some time to come. Thomas Bacon of Screenrant has more to say on this subject. Whether the fans are going to accept it or do what fans do and claim that this is ‘ruining’ the MCU is hard to say, but we’ll have to wait and see how it goes.


Honestly, just going by Boseman's time in the role, he was outshined by Killmonger, U'mbaku and Shuri in his own movie :manny:

It's as if they overdid it with supporting actors to ensure the movie was a success. And they killed their roles.

In Civil War he wasn't given a chance to really shine as much. And he played a smaller role in Infinity War, got dusted and again in End Game, he didnt get much shine.



He hasn't brought as much charisma to the role either.

If it wasn't for us showing out that the theaters, BP might be Ant Man status at this point.

All those character still rely on his presence for us to care about them. As much as i like shuri and Umbaku, i'm rather watch a venom movie without spiderman than a shuri movie without Tchalla.

Spiderman stole the show in CW.

And nikkas was gonna support Black Panther regardless. Especially after the A+ casting. Boseman wasn't asked to carry it. Compared to other solo movies in the MCU, Boseman had a top notch director, and a top notch supporting cast.

I don't think Marvel thought that movie and the character would be as big as it was. And I don't think they saw BP as being a long term character to carry the torch. BP's success however, has forced them to re-calibrate.

But they're also looking at why BP made so much money. T'Challa is super intelligent, but in the MCU they haven't shown it. Shuri's intellect has been pushed more.

She's younger and more charismatic so it actually makes sense.



I just hope they don't over do it with the female super hero agenda :mjpls:

Especially if it's not organic.

did the spiderman trailer shutdown the internet.. was the movie universally praised.. marvel went all out to promote the movie because they knew they had a winner. they made sure chadwick was taken care of and they conceded to his demand. everyone knows tchalla trained shuri to be on his level in the field of science

Do they though?

I mean we know, but the casual audience member doesnt. I agree with you that hes downplaying the shyt out of the impact Bosemans character has had on the franchise.... But he has a point with the way he is portrayed in the films from an intillect standpoint.

He is supposed to be a tech genius who holds numerous PHD's. He is the leader of the most technologically advanced civilization in the history of Earth. Dude built his own BP suit when he was 10 y/o. Yes Shuri is a bit smarter than him in the comics, but thats because she is truly gifted. T'Challa is supposed to be Marvel's Batman. Ironically it was my sister who pointed this out. Not once did they have a scene of him flexing his mental might.

The final fight scene against KM was the perfect chance... Instead of having him hollering into his comlink for Shuri to help him they could have had him perform some manual override and MacGyver his shyt ftw. KM beat him with the hands, now BP beats him with the wits. It was kind of annoying how reliant on Shuri they made him look when it came to the tech.

dude, tchalla main concern is wakanda and how to protect it. he is not trying to kill his cousin. tchalla could have taken him out as you saw in the first fight, but he was distracted.why do you think shuri is always up under him, why do you think she always insist on going with him to these dangerous missions, this is so he can guide her properly. everyone who studys southern history knowns without the black man contribution to the science community we would be in pure hell

:dwillhuh:Huh??? My man, you gotta read what i wrote. Either that or maybe you got me mixed up with another poster? I have no idea what youre taking about

All i said was the film downplayed T'Challa's tech prowess compared to the comics. They needed to give him atleas one brainiac techno-geek moment to show off how smart he is in that field... Other thn that he was the fxckin man, no need to defend him

The crazy thing is, in civil war his role was actually reduced when they added spiderman late in development. But yeah i feel like civil war served as a black panther prequel movie. I didn't get enough of him in Infinity or Endgame, but he shined in Civil War.

:gucci:Man I know that.

But it wasnt made obvious nor was it emphasized to those who arent familiar with the character breh. Anyone watching could have assumed that she was the brains and he was the braun so to speak. Idk why youre reacting like im killing the film or im attacking Boseman's BP. It was a dope film but they whiffed on a few things.

From a cinamatic viewpoint. It's better that he is not great at eveything or at least doing everything, otherwise, he wouldn't need allies, and all his co-stars would just be dead weight that distract from the movie rather than add to it. Basically Superman syndrom. Give everything to tchalla, means turning all the other people into louis lane. damsels in distress. Movies become boring. Tchalla is already the greatest warrior, a great leader, and a good man. Let shuri have the genuis.
