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 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.

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.

I guarantee you that won’t happen.
I’d be very very surprised if T’Challa is recast.
I also don’t think they’ll necessarily kill the character. Maybe he’ll just hang up the mantle and retire or something, citing the events of Infinity War and Endgame as being too much for him to handle. We will likely see some CGI recreations of him in the future.
