Why Marvel Should Eventually Recast T'Challa After Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
722With Black Panther: Wakanda Forever upon us, I figured now would be the ideal time to take a look at the titular character, T’Challa, and what stories are left to be told in the MCU. After the untimely death of Chadwick Boseman, friends, family and fans across the world mourned the loss of the actor that introduced the iconic Black Panther in the MCU. His legacy will live on in his work, and even in death his impact was felt. His influence casts a huge shadow over the upcoming Wakanda Forever film, which many members of the cast and director Ryan Coogler have stated will honor the actor who portrayed T’Challa. While Boseman’s death led Coogler to reshape the script to acknowledge the loss of the actor who portrayed the character, it’s likely we won’t be seeing T’Challa’s #BlackPanther anytime soon in the coming Marvel Phases. But that doesn’t rule out the possibility of a variant showing up at some point. In fact, I think it’d be a smart move for Marvel to eventually replace T’Challa in the #MCU.
