What's the appropriate next step for Black Panther?

[XPac]

A character that means so much to so many, who has transcended the limitations of the silver screen. And yet this is a franchise. How do you move on from here?

My feeling is that this is a seminal moment for Marvel. They have their first real opportunity to prove that a single actor does not define a specific, inherently immortal character. Black Panther, T'Challa, is the opportunity to show that the inspiration goes far beyond any single actor, however much that actor defined the role. The character is who we look up to, who speaks to us to achieve greater things.

This is Marvel's opportunity to grow. I look forward to see how they grasp that opportunity.

I'm fine with whatever Coogler is comfortable with.

I don't agree with the arguements that recasting Black Panther is disrespectful... nor do I agree with the arguements that replacing T'Challa with Shuri is disrespectful. I think either option will get criticism... but I think either option will ultimately work.
