Chadwick was actually cast as Black Panther before Chiwetel joined the MCU as Doctor Strange's sidekick. They could've cast Chiwetel as BP or had both audition (or whatever) but they went straight to Boseman due to his performances/critical acclaim in his biopics. Ppl at the time were debating whether Marvel should go with Chad, Chiwetel, Aldis etc but Fiege came out and said Chad was their no.1 choice from jump.lol...ok. that's why, they had a scratch pad and he was the only one left. um no, he was a newer face who was making/had made a name
I have no complaints about it, he's a great actor.I'd say Donald Glover is surging. Playing Lando, being Miles Morales uncle in the MCU and voicing Simba as the lead of the Lion King are some good building blocks. But it kinda depends on what type of lead roles he may get offered, if any.
I think Chadwick is in a "Chris Evans" type spot right now: well respected actor who largely sticks with more serious (but perhaps under the radar) roles while finding his perfect niche (serious acting + big hollywood payday) playing an iconic superhero.
Finn is an embarrassment but Boyega made the right choice picking Star Wars over Terminator Genisys. It opened up the doors for him and now it comes down to if he made the right follow-up choices. Pacific Rim 2 is probably do or die; if it at least makes bank overseas like the first one did or, best case scenario, also does well domestically this time around, then he's set. He'll have this as his go-to franchise as a lead + he'll likely get other big budget action roles thrown at him. If it flops, he may be regulated to whatever he was in that tom hanks/emma watson flick.
I think MBJ is surging as well. Him and Coogler have a nice partnership going on and if Creed 2 does well then i think it'll be a combination of Coogler getting even bigger budget offerings to direct films and MBJ also getting lead roles for the block buster/popcorn action flicks.

He's dealing with the same problem black female singers who aren't Beyonce and Rihanna are dealing with. Hollywood likes to only give mainstream exposure to certain types at a time.

which was stated on the 1st page
what relevance does this have to the post you quoted of mine?
He was never going to be a Denzel or Will
But he's got a good solid B level acting career going.
I think Lakeith Stanfield got next
