REUTERS/Andrew Kelly/File Photo - Soon after learning that “Black Panther” star Chadwick Boseman had died at age 43, fans urged Marvel Studios not to recast the role, setting up a dilemma for the studio planning a sequel to Hollywood’s first major superhero film with a predominantly Black cast.
“We’ve seen her in action. We’ve seen her in the middle of these fights. Why would we not think she’d have the courage and strength to become the next Black Panther?” Other approaches could celebrate Boseman’s legacy. “Does come back as little Black Panther?” said Nicol Turner Lee, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution. “Does Disney honor the imagination of the young boys and girls who looked up to him?”
The 2018 film broke new ground with its predominantly Black cast, helmed by a Black director. Boseman played the character of King T’Challa, who presides over the futuristic African nation of Wakanda. Produced with a $200 million budget, it was praised for its diversity, after years of criticism about the lack of actors and filmmakers of color in Hollywood.
Casting a fake Shemp while giving Boseman credit.
This is how blacks behave
Off screen his is killed, opening of the film is his funeral and Shuri distraught over his death decides to done the mantel and track down her brothers killer
Don't make another one
I think king T’Chaka is killed in battle & d movie opens with his funeral. His wife is shown pregnant & all this will be a flashback when d king’s mother tells d king (T’Chaka’s son) d story of how his brave father died in battle. Maybe an evil uncle tries to kill d son
Film a funeral, get a new Black Panther. Like Shuri.
Nope, this has been one of the most exciting ‘new’ characters Marvel has created.
Easy...let Panther’s sister take over! SHE can be the super hero.
Some very good ideas in the comments. My favs in order: 1. GIVE THE FAMILY & MARVEL TIME TO GRIEVE! 2. A prequel about King T'Chaka to give some time to address this 3. A plot where King T'Challa dies and crown a new King. Or Queen... SHURI! Marvel MarvelStudios
Wakan-u-do 🤷♂️
Marvel can just make it 100% CGI instead of 99% CGI films they are currently making.
he was james brown all over again a great movie about the singer a little rough on the edges great showmanship
Don’t take away your power. How many African American super hero’s are there? Our kids need the role models.
I mean what the Dumb fuck argument.
Put letitiawright into the role. Shuri was freakin’ awesome, and think what it would do for Black girls everywhere.
I would want to see a Black Panther Movie that delves into the history of Wakanda, the vibranium meteor crash that gave the first Black Panther his powers. The struggles of early Wakanda before (which probably had civil wars because of the new unnatural resource).
There is only one Black Panther. Just leave it at that. DisneyStudiosCA
Make Shuri the next black Panther or revive Michael B. Jordan
C'mon !! He was a good actor but was king or whatever on the screen only .. don't be this silly ...
Just cast another black guy, problem solved.
Fans should the family bury him and mourn, THEN talk about recasting. Doing otherwise is just selfish.
I would think, if Mr. Boseman was fighting cancer the entire time, there may have been talks behind the scenes in how he'd like that handled. I think we should wait and see. It's an important role, and I'm sure that his coworkers will find, or already have a plan, to honor him.
Its a pain in the ass for the studio
Shuri became Black Panther in the Comics, she can in the films as well
Why? - James Bond - Batman - Superman - Dr Who To mention but a few, all had different actors fill the lead role. No problem. Just why should this be different?
DAMN here we go give the family & the studio time to grieve. Oh my God this is something else. Chadwick Boseman work too hard what was built to stop will he be replaceable no but there will be a void regardless! BlackPanther MUST live on.
Come on!! He could be like James Bond, incarnation after incarnation, living forever!!
Here comes deepfake
Why can’t there be a Queen?
No sequel. Wait a few years, then reboot.
RIP to Chadwick, but there were two black panthers in the movie, the other was played by South African Athandwa Kani, who played the role of the father. It makes no sense for all those talented actors to be cast into the wilderness like this, it does nothing to honour his memory
After a proper farewell. I like LanceGross for the role of King.
Shuri
They should have the character pass away from cancer, to honor Chadwick. Then move the story along.
Hmm, why dont they do a sequel where T'Challa dies and then another one is appointed king? Quite simple
Easy; the „Black Panther“ is an inherited title of the ruler of Wakanda...therefore let Boswick (actor in the costume) die heroic and then next in line should be on the throne and be „Black Panther“. I think and I hope it‘s his sister or his Second in Command which is female also
Oh sure, since there are so many plum roles for black actors in the U.S., it's wholly silly to give an up-and-coming actor a shot at the big time.
They need to forget doing a sequel for a long while.
Just get a new one like if he was one of your babies daddy's
They could try and digitize his face onto someone else's body like they did with the Crow 2, after Brandon Lee was killed. That was mostly a night time (dark) shoot, however and there was minimal direct face to face dialogue.
Consequences of the fall he took that almost killed the king......perhaps a large funeral scene to begin the sequel
Chadwick Bozeman is Unique No One Can Play TCHALLA Lord of The Lords 👊
It's not a dilemma. New actors replace people all the time.
Simple. Wakanda must do a proper funeral for their King and then proceed to appoint the next king.
He wasn't a god, life goes on...
🕊BLACK LIVES MATTER🕊DEMAND CHANGE‼️TIME TO STEP UP‼️ SUPPORT⭐️
We need diversity in this movie. All black is racism and anti white. They scream they want equal stsnding, then the next king should be a white africaan!
I think the only honourable thing to do is to rest the Black Panther character. RIP Chad Boseman. I nominate a new character, a black heroine, named the Black Hippo. Far deadlier than any Panther.
Movie was to long and boring
Black Panther was a bit racially monochrome. We have great black actors in Shakespeare's plays tearing up the stage, yet these movies are all black? What is this ghetto nonsense?
Nah, anoint a random white guy for the shock value.
Cancel the show! No one is interested in seeing a drug addict on the screen!
idriselba
Look at Reuter’s! Maturing and publishing stories outside of black people’s deaths! Go you
Leave it be and reboot years and years from now.
The obvious choice, but not with the weird extra muscles rippling everywhere.
Should not happen
Wakanda for ever
I think scarlett johansson should play black panther
Just find another black dude and should be hurry before being shot by the police
I feel bad for the fans. Same thing happened with Spartacus blood and Sand and Andy Whitfield.
TongayiChirisa a Zim Hollywood actor should replace Chadwick Bozeman... I think he is a perfect match.... Checkout his bio...
I have been thinking about this. I am teamShuri
JohnBoyega should replace Chadwick, I am looking forward to Black panther 2 already
Show Portland burning to the ground, a proud tribute to black power.
The sister doesn't have the skill or leadership to be Black Panther. The putz in the article couldn't be more wrong. It'll have to be a chosen one from the populous.
Address police brutality
