Ryan Coogler is set to return to direct. Release date is May 6th, 2022.

i was gonna do this..

should be a good sequel

Wonder Man
It looks like Black Panther will determine what needs to be cloaked in marvel except with the X-men's blackbird.
Should be a good story.

Oliver Brown
The first part of the Black Panther was amazing and I hope the next one won't disappoint us

Robtard
WTF are they shooting for 2022? Stupid move, imo.

They should make M'baku go bad for the sequel.

Yeah. BP came out in 2018. Sequal should be a 2020 or 2021(at most) summer release considering how popular it was and how hard it killed at the box office.

Not gonna lie, I like Black Panther but if he didn't get a trilogy I kinda wouldn't even care.

Surtur
I didn't want to have this discussion in any thread about Chadwick Boseman passing away, so I decided to bump this thread.

Do you guys think Marvel should recast the role of BP? I think that would be wrong.

KingD19
I was thinking it was only logical to write his death into the film and have the mantle pass to Shuri. She's who takes over for him multiple times in the comics so it only makes sense.

Besides, as the OG Panther, no one can take his place. Its not like Ruffalo taking Hulk over from Norton or Cheadle getting War Machine from Terrence Howard after 1 movie. He was an amazing T'Challa for 4 movies. You cant just recast the guy who embodied the role. Thats like trying to get a new Harry Potter after Goblet of Fire.

Surtur
That is probably the right thing to do. Do not recast.

One day the MCU will be rebooted and there can be another live action movie with T'Challa.

BackFire

KingD19
Shuri would be awesome as a Panther 2.0 of sorts. We already saw T'Challa beginning to open up to the outside world and modernization and outreach, so to see science heavy Shuri pick up the mantle and add her own flair would be amazing.

Galan007
Tbh, I'd rather see Bucky take up the mantle in his "White Wolf" persona, considering how Cap screwed him over by giving Sam the shield. But obviously replacing the MCU's key black hero with a white guy would never happen.

The social/racial uproar that would cause...

It makes absolutely no sense for that to happen though. Why would Bucky, who only came to Wakanda to get fixed up as penance for T'Challa being a vengeful idiot who only saw red and didn't try to get actual answers at first, and to help out his new buddy Cap, suddenly become the King and protector of the entirety of Wakanda? And "white wolf" isn't a persona, it's just what the Wakandan's(mainly children) who didn't know who he was called him.

And Cap didn't screw Bucky over, as Bucky never wanted the highly publicized and government overseen life of Captain America. He just wanted to be left alone and help his friends if they needed it. Sam was the one who was basically Cap's protege.

And "white wolf" isn't a persona, it's just what the Wakandan's(mainly children) who didn't know who he was called him. Bucky's time in Wakanda played a huge part in his reformation into a hero.

And I'm saying "White Wolf" could become his persona, because it was already set up(even T'Challa called him by that.)

Moreover, I'm not suggesting that Bucky becomes the King of Wakanda -- just that he fills the shoes of BP in the sense that he fights for the Wakandans and whatnot. He fills the hero/warrior role, while Shuri fills the King/scientist role.

I know it would never happen that way, though. Shuri *poofing* into the next BP is the obvious choice from Disney's POV.

Cap giving it to Sam instead of Bucky never sat well with me, but that's neither here nor there.

They was talk a good few months back about making Shuri the next BP for Disney execs. Pass on that though.

Chiwetel Ejifor would've been the logical choice to recast. Same age as Boseman and has real life martial arts ability. But he's already in Dr Strange.

The other possibility would've been Michael B Jordan...oops.

Hopefully they don't recast as we'd probably end up with John Boyega.

KingD19
Mahershala Ali would have been decent as well but he's Blade.

BackFire

Galan007
Oh it 100% won't happen.

Surtur
At the end of the day, given the existence of Shuri, it would be a bizarre move to recast the character.

I could understand if they were in the middle of shooting the sequel, but that isn't the case.

KingD19
Yeah, as the last of the royal family and the canonical replacement for T'Challa, doing anything else just ignores the history of the character.

Agreed with this, Shuri is the obvious route I'd go. Boseman had possibly the greatest single performance in the MCU as T'Challa in Civil War, and he somehow was the best character by far in a movie that had Iron Man fighting Captain America and introduced Spider-Man into the MCU. His portrayal of Black Panther as a revenge-driven anti-hero then a strong, stoic, yet conflicted monarch is a cultural milestone, and I just don't see Feige and co. replacing him.

Have it be Shuri number one option, or another member of the Wakandan royal family or tribes.

I think its still gonna be a hard sell, but who knows? If they load it up with co-stars, make it more of a team movie, maybe it'll work.

That would make the most sense. Cap's closest friends and allies are helping Sam bear the weight of the mantle, while also helping him realize he doesn't have to be Cap's pound for pound replacement, he just has to do the name proud in his own way and that's enough.

Yeah, exactly. I am curious to see what they'll do with the series, even if I'm much more interested in WandaVision.

With his rising fame due to BlackKklansman and Tenet, I could see them pursuing John David Washington for the role.

They really have three options here:

A) Recasting and keeping T'Challa
B) Giving the BP mantel to another male character
C) Giving the BP mantel to T'Challa's sister Shuri



C makes the most sense to me.

They could work in that due to the herb Killmonger survived being stabbed and just went into a death-like coma and he could be King as he has royal blood, but I'd prefer they didn't, he wasn't very good as a villain, I doubt he'd be a good Black Panther/hero.

I still prefer Shuri becoming the BP.

KingD19
M'Baku couldn't be Panther because he's already the leader of the Jabari Tribe, and is the MCU version of Man-Ape with his own special herb(although they didn't have time to explore that in BP). And Killmonger, while a great villain imo(a good mix of personal and societal reasons for his villainy and amazing presence), wouldn't work as Panther because it would essentially be the same as him taking over like the first time, and even if Wakanda as a whole accepted him, no one would actually want him there.

M'Baku could as he already tried to become king in the first film, I just don't see him, both the actor and character in the lead of such a popular franchise.

If they wanted Killmonger, they could work in a redemption arch and people love those. Where he proves to all Wakanda that he's worthy of being its king and protector.

I still think it's going to be Suri, or they'll introduce some knew character and work in a link to the throne.

KingD19
It absolutely needs to be Shuri. As the best way to honor not only Boseman but T'Challa himself is for her to take over as she did in the comics. She's done it when he died and when he considered himself unworthy of the role so shes the only choice to actually make any sense.

She's an awful character in the film's though. Zero screen presence. The 2nd most useless character in the big "girl power" scene in Endgame. Only beating out Mantis.

Surtur
She does seem likely the most likely candidate.

Plus they could virtue signal with the whole "we got a female black panther" thing.

Broly is 1000% correct. They need to just cancel this franchise. This isn't just some lame shit like The Fast and The Furious (well it is, imo, but there are many to whom it is irreplacably beloved and empowering). It really would be due justice to Boseman, the character, and the legacy of both to just end things here.

KingD19
And you don't think it would be even more empowering that his super genius sister follow in his footsteps and make him proud? The first black Marvel female superhero with her own movie and not just a side character role like Valkyrie or Monica Rambeau(kid version)

You not liking her because she was snarky with Banner(not even really mean) doesn't take away from the fact that she's a strong, African princess who is one of the smartest people in the MCU and would make the Panther legacy proud.

It's not difficult to grasp.

You claimed that the Thanos situation is different because the items he had at his disposal could have allowed him to save everyone by creating infinite resources but he is a villain because he chose instead to kill half the universe so they don't destroy themselves by overpopulation and using up the existing resources.

Killmonger could have used the Wakanda tech he acquired to "empower the disenfranchised" without killing people around the world. He chose to kill people to do it.

Thus he made the exact same moral choice as Thanos. Who you agree is a villain.

Now you're relying on conjecture and stuff that didn't even happen to support your argument.

They both made the same moral choice. Accept it.

Killmonger is absolutely a villain. You can't say any different. He had revolutionary ideals that could have changed the world, but he also wanted to punish that world and a loooooot of innocents. He. Was. A. Villain.

Do I need to spell it out? It's disrespectful to the amazing work Boseman churned out over several years and 4 movies while having cancer the entire time, which showed his dedication to the project and to the character. It's nothing like replacing Norton for Ruffalo because he got too big for his britches and thought he knew better than the producers and directors.

Or replacing Terrance Howard for Don Cheadle because Howard's agent screwed the pooch when it came to salary negotiations. He died wanting to keep playing the character but his time was simply up. But he embodied the character in a way no one else can or ever will, so simply trying to slap the Panther Habit on a different guy immediately after his death is not only f*cked up morally, but the movie(s) itself will suffer from the decision since the fanbase will be extremely upset.

At least if they use Shuri, it's a move everyone saw coming and will be okay with because the character of Shuri has taken over as Panther for T'Challa multiple times and as the last heir to the Wakandan Throne, it only makes sense for her to take over anyway. The Panther has always been the Warrior King of Wakanda, not just some rando wearing the suit and acting as a super powered bodyguard.

The only difference with Shuri is that she'd be the Warrior Queen, and while being potentially slightly less powerful overall as her slender female frame even with the Herb will lead to less of an increase because of biology, she is several times smarter than T'Challa and one of the smartest humans in MCU so she'd more than make up for it in ingenuity and gadgetry.

Disrespectful would be dumping the character by off screen death and replacing them with possibly the most annoying and 2nd most useless fighter from the Endgame final battle (Mantis being the most useless)

And no one's taking about replacing him NOW.

Build up the MCU with the newly acquired IP. Recast him a few years down the line.

Anyone pretending no one else can play the role is simply engaging in sycophantic hyperbole. His work prior to playing Black Panther is filled with mediocrity. Budget biopics no one cares about, utter trash like Gods of Egypt and bit parts in TV shows. He was never some phenomenal, irreplaceable talent. Pretending otherwise is just nonsense. The same thing happened with Heath Ledger when he died after playing The Joker. Like his back catalogue wasn't filled with utter dog shit and no one could play a better Joker. Then Joaquin Phoenix did.

So WWE star Becky Lynch is in the cast playing a mercenary. My gut feeling is, she's playing Shanna.

Wonder if we will find out who the new Black Panther is before the film is released. Given theyve kept it quiet this long.

Surprisingly still looks good though. And looking forward to Sub-Mariner.

It's going to have to be cos phase 4 has been almost a complete dumpster fire so far with only Spidey holding it up and very little in the pipeline gives me confidence It's going to improve any time soon.

Have mixed feelings about that trailer, seemed a little to shotgun blast everywhere.

Who we assume will be the new Black Panther, the arms looks too thin to be a man's, and the hands look petite, at least a man they'd cast for BP and that ass is kinda wide. Could be the suit and the angle though.

I'd guess Nakia, I'd also prefer her over the sister.

Okoye would be a badass BP, but she's kinda got her own thing going already.


Having Namor is great, just not sure on the casting yet.

Good trailer.

The issue is, I have no interest in a new BP. They should have just recast instead of turning some character that I (and nearly everyone else) forgot the name of into a new BP.

Robtard
Fully agree that would have been the best choice now, for the continuity and longevity of the franchise, they should have just recast. It wouldn't be an insult or disrespectful to Boseman's legacy.
