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.
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.

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.

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.

I agree with what has been said. I don’t think they should recast T’Challa. Shuri should become black panther. She was my favorite part of the original movie anyways.
And from the sound of some of the statements from Feige it doesn’t sound like he’s interested in recasting.
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.
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.
