marveL is gonna use the multiverse to bring in a new T’Challa without having to replace “Chadwicks version”
don’t like it but it’s the only route that works without angering the mass. Some won’t like it, but the BP property is too profitable for them not to have a T’Challa

I don't agree with them flat out not doing a sequel. This series was about to mean so much to so many. Black folks of all shaoes, sizes and ages.
Don't know how they'll go about it, but I'm not in favor flat out canceling the series.
Leticia Wright was incredible in the role of Shuri, but she does not have the build of a warrior, nor does this integration of the character have any fighting skill.
Killmonger was doing way too much to just come back and be Black Panther.
Surprised nobody mentioned M'baku honestly.
But ultimately, I would want T'challa to remain and see it as opportunity for another talented brother to move the series forward out of the darkness and sorrow that will inevitably envelop the first movie.
Unpopular opinion right now, I know, but just being honest.
Wouldn't envy that man at all though. Major MAJOR shoes to fill.
John Boyega would be perfect if he were older. Maybe Denzel's son. Marvel got a lot to figure out for sure.

too soon to even be talking about this, but the sequel should just be called "Wakanda." this is about 1% as important as the man's death, but i have no idea how they're gonna retcon T'Challa out. They may just have to do the Norton/Ruffalo thing and fukk around with the multiverse in Doctor Strange, b/c if they try to CG Boseman in the spirit realm or something, it's gonna be terrible and honestly pretty disrespectful.
T'Challa Trillmonger
All Star
Flashback scene - maybe he sacrificed himself for Wakanda, or crossed over to the ancestral plane as part of some sort of exchange, there are stories that could flesh it out ... even scenes with BP in costume so the character can be sent off properly
but i cosign ... its either Shuri taking on the role, or a redemption arc for Killmonger, a recast would be too soon

I wouldnt be shocked if they just create some new character.
The issue is I cant think of too many actors that had his acting skill + athletic prowess + screen presence. JDW is solid in acting and athleticism, but does he have THAT level of charisma.
You gotta remember in this huge ensemble that built up so many great characters just how difficult the role Boseman had to play. He was like a great guard who knew he could get 30, but played in a system where everybody had to eat. Not everyone can just do that and still standout.
The actors I think are capable of having the skill, screen presence and charisma either already played in BP or star in other franchises.
Thats Sterling K. Brown (He's already N'Jobu) and Yayha Abudl Mateen. Jonathan Majors is an up comer, but having to carry the "weight" of that role....man.
It would be a daunting task to recast. So they are better off just creating a new character

(moved this quote to the BP thread since I don’t want to sidetrack the condolences thread)
No, he doesn’t. MJB is a big name, I get it, but his performance was dogged, he’s not a strong actor, I mean he was distractingly bad in BP at times.
Tenet will make Denzel’s son a full on household name, I’m not sure how much I like his acting yet, but he could be a possible replacement. I also think someone like Aldis Hodge is a good actor, the right stature yet could benefit greatly from a role like this in regards to elevating his profile.

I actually think some of that was just his character being a try hard. The facade was gone when around his father and T'Challa. I agree he's not as strong of an actor like Boseman and wouldnt want that pressure on him tho. I guess agree to disagree on his performance in the film tho.
My post above ^ mentioned that the only actors that fit the range are Sterling K Brown and Yayha Abdul Mateen. Jonathan Majors will probably be the next great all around actor....if they go that route. I think Aldis is a talented actor, but I'm not sure he's there yet in terms of range either.
Yahya Abdul-Mateen would be perfect if he wasn't already with DC. I honestly hope they just recast him and let a black male hold the BP title for atleast 2 more solo movies. All the other male counterparts got 3 movies. Valkyrie and Storm are coming down the road. We need a strong black male figure.

Aldis definitely has the range, hidden figures, underground, what men want, black mirror all show him anywhere from serious to comedic to working within the confines of sci fi. Furthermore, these are comic book movies, you don’t have to be Oscar great and marvel likes to use people who aren’t full stars yet for negotiating power.
some of y’all just throw the same stale names out there since those people are already stars, but there are other talented black actors

o want to root for him since he’s from the town, but his acting was so bad to me in aquaman and his episode of black mirror was too distracting for me to get a real read on him. I’d have to see him in another key role before I felt like he’d be a good pick up cuz like I said, him in aquaman was awful
Edit: forgot he was in the get down, he was devemt in that

I'm a fan of Aldis. He was one of the people I recommended for Killmonger. Jonathan Majors isnt a "star" yet either. Names I dropped are classically trained actors. Like Boseman, you can see the extra layers in their performance.
With that said, you could very well be right that Aldis would do great if given a chance. So I dont want to knock the breh either.
Tenet will be interesting.
Because John David Washington, despite appearing like a borderline midget at 5'9 (compared to Boseman's 6 foot), definitely has the *look*
...but i didn't watch Black KKKlansman so i've only ever seen him act in "Ballers" years ago. Meaning, i don't know how well his acting chops are...
And of course, to be fair, RDJ was only 5'9 as well... but obviously he didn't have the same requirements of being an imposing MMA warrior king outside of the suit.

Yea, my comment was more to earlier comments where people were stuck on MJB or sterling.
I haven’t watched last man nor lovecraft so i can’t speak to his skill, but let’s be real, marvel films are about marketing/glossiness and that Jonathan dude isn’t attractive. For serious cinema, that doesn’t matter, but for marvel....yea, it matters
