What about Winston Duke becoming king of wakanda?Disney Grapples With How to Proceed on 'Black Panther' Without Chadwick Boseman
Outside of family, only a small group of insiders was aware of the Marvel star’s battle with cancer, and now studio executives are grieving and figuring out a way forward.
On Aug. 28, Marvel chief creative officer Kevin Feige received an urgent email regarding Chadwick Boseman, with no further information. Unbeknownst to anyone at the studio, the Black Pantherstar had been battling colon cancer privately for four-plus years and had taken a sudden turn for the worse. By the time Feige read the message an hour later, Boseman already had died, sending shock waves through Disney and the tight-knit Marvel Cinematic Universe.
A source close to Boseman tells The Hollywood Reporter that the 43-year-old actor, who had become noticeably thin in recent months, was convinced until about a week before his death that he was going to beat cancer and would be able to gain the weight back for a Black Panther sequel that was scheduled to go into production in March. The actor was even set to prepare for the new film beginning in September.
Disney sources say the company is processing its grief and that its focus at this stage is to pay tribute to Boseman and not on the making of a Black Panther sequel. Only a handful of non-family members knew that Boseman was sick, including producing partner Logan Coles, longtime agent Michael Greene, trainer Addison Henderson and 42 director Brian Helgeland — with varying degrees of knowledge about the severity of the actor’s condition. No one involved with Black Panther was aware, says asource. It was Boseman’s wish to keep his cancer battle private.
Many are left wondering how Boseman kept his diagnosis under wraps while shooting a film with a colossal budget like the $200 million Black Panther in 2017 (the filmopened the following year and went on to earn $1.35 billion worldwide and was nominated for a best picture Oscar). But film finance attorney Schuyler Moore says a Marvel star wouldn’t likely require a medical examination for insurance purposes.
Most observers agree that Disney has several options. One is to replace Boseman, which could generate afan outcry and prompt inevitablecomparisons between actors. Even with a scheduled release date of 2022, already iffy due to thecoronavirus pandemic, few actors may be willing to take on thatchallenge. The second option, which may be more tenable, is to make T’Challa’s sister, Shuri(Letitia Wright) the new BlackPanther. That scenario also aligns with events portrayed in one of the comic book series on which thefilm is based.

Breh, anal cancer and colon cancer are different. Anal cancer can be caused by sex and HPV. Colon cancer, which is what Chadwick had, is usually caused by bad diet or family history and genetic predisposition. Polyps in the colon turn cancerous over time.

That's wat I'm trying understand how can cancer be hereditary even if u your so called healthy eat right exercise get proper rest sleep etc but it can still creep up on u even if your not eating meat junk food heavy sugary foods drinks etc. It's ppl who are vegans n still getting sum form of cancer it's to the point where why even try to eat right exercise do everything the right healthy n still die from it. I mean we all gonna die just don't know how I'm only saying this to say just live your life to fullest wether your a fitness junkie overweight n practice questionable sexual activities. Why are these hereditary diseases Killin us faster before age of 50 the life span for a black person is getting shorter by the yr

It's the inner strength..
I don’t think you understand the term hereditary
Hereditary means that his family has a history of colon cancer so it's a strong possibility that the descendants could inherit the cancer.
That's why they say its important to learn the medical background of people you plan to procreate with. If cancer runs in both parents family, the chances of their children having cancer will be higher than average even if neither of the parents had it.

I want them to recast. Chad fought through cancer to bring the character to mainstream prominence. They should continue the journey, and not reduce the already few black male superheroes for black boys. That's flat out contrary to Chad's objective.
John Washington, Aldis Hodge, Trevante Rhodes, etc should get an opportunity.
Yesterday I made a change org petition that Marvel recast T'Challa for the above reasons. If you have time take a look and if it's something you guys can rock with, sign and share:
Sign the Petition
I just want *our* perspective out there, instead of the recent media parade to get the character killed off to "honor" Chad.
