T'Challa: The Black Panther Appreciation 2021

[Blanks]

Hell if that is True, they may as well introduce Kasper into the movies and make him the BP, after finding a BP costume. Play off the mystique that T’Challa may be dead. I dunno. I’m not digging this at all.

Like the article says, take with a gran of salt. But if true...

*It was Coogler's idea not to recast, and Feige was the one who wanted to recast, but honored Coogler as not to lose him as director. Sounds like Coogler made "no recast or I walk" a condition.
*No Shuri (and no M'Baku) as Black Panther
*Instead a brand new character will be BP and the king of Wakanda, personally created Coogler himself.
*The part that I'm having trouble with: the movie will be a three way fight between Wakanda, Latveria, and Atlantis. With Atlantis retooled as being the underwater home of the Deviants, tying into Eternals.
*Oops, scratch that, make that three way fight between Wakanda, Latveria, and Lemuria which will apparently be Atlantis in all but name. Gotta avoid those comparisons to Aquaman somehow.

My biggest fear with BP2, even when the great Chadwick Boseman was still alive, was that despite the first one making history, the sequel would be relegated to being a stepping stone for everyone else's properties going forward and maybe somewhere in the midst of all that tell some semblance of its own story. Didn't someone in the last thread joke why not have Doctor Strange and Captain Marvel show up, too?

Not sure how I feel about this, again, if true. The coming months will reveal fact from fiction as to what will actually happen.

I highly doubt this is true but it all sounds like garbage. Except the Atlantis as Lemuria stuff, that should be canon in the comics. And the BP prequel. I've always wanted to see the story of T'Chaka during the 80s for some Cold War espionage. But yea, I expect Shuri to become the next BP or for her to share the mantle with M'Baku. I don't see Marvel going so out of left field that they'd make an entirely new character to fill in T'Challa's shoes.

So Panther has tons of kinfolks-that makes no sense. If they wanted to keep it in family use one of the cousins.

But using Wakanda as stepping stone for others mainly Fantastic Four-yeah I can believe that.

It depends on the extent to which Fantastic Four would be involved in the plot. If BP2 got turned into a vehicle for them to show up and take down Doctor Doom obviously that would be lambasted. But I honestly wouldn't have an issue with them getting an Easter egg in an end credit scene, like maybe the Future Foundation sends T'Challa a message asking for him to send bright Wakandans to the Baxter building or whatever. It fits with the theme of T'Challa opening up Wakanda, sets up his friendship with Reed, and is a nice inversion/nod to the comics where T'Challa first appeared in Fantastic Four.

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that this brand new character is going to be Michael B Jordan from an alternate universe in order to erase all his sins and prop him up wakandas new leader.

But we all know how I felt about the first movie and Cooglers choices w Tchalla.
Marvel never edits this franchise in any form of media from unfans wanting brand new ideas fir the mythos. But ill wait and see

[Ekie]

??? Who's the second?

Dc said they will not recast Cyborb and will write him out

[DigiCom]

I'm going to go out on a limb and say the entire thing is total BS.

The source is 4chan, so.....

I don't think even if this was true, that the new character would be MBJ. The fact it was saying it would be a character from the river or mine tribe. Plus MBJ was supposed to be on the sequel to some capacity so I doubt that he would play double roles.

Plus the multiverse route completely allows for a very explainable recast and different take on T'Challa. Especially since Spiderman is bringing in Tobey and Andrew into it.

It wouldn't make any sense to have killmonger be the new BP.

As for DC. So they're going to bring in John Stewart green lantern then right?

That’s what I’ve been saying for the longest. Just use the multiverse to bring in a different T’Challa. That way he can still be a major player in the MCU while at the same time you won’t be disrespecting Chadwick like some of the anti recast people would claim.

[Chesterfield]

Man, being a Black Panther fan is like eternally walking while trying to carry a heavy ass cross.

I don't want MBJ in BP2 at all, even if it's just for the sake of Coogler making a damn movie without having to cast his ass. Secondly, isn't MBJ preparing to star and direct Creed 3?

Lastly, IF it was Coogler's decision not to recast, then F him.

[BlackClaw]

The only way I’ll accept MBJ in BP2 is for an ancestral plane scene. And if that article is true, then I can see the character being an in name only version of Jakarra. Ugh, between this and Coates things are just a hot mess for Black Panther. It really is.

I believe Coogler also realized the importance of T'Challa to young Black kids as well. Unless otherwise is said, I believe this was mainly a Disney decision. I don't think, no matter how big a director is, that Disney would completely fold and just go with whatever the director wanted for fear of them walking. That's just not how these big companies work.

Depends. Cooler is money in the hand, and an unknown replacement is money in the bush, so to speak

[MoneySpider]

A multiverse T'Challa would still require a different actor playing T'Challa....which Kevin Feige said they are not going to do.

If they were going to introduce a different T'Challa in any of the sequels in any capacity, then they would just re-cast the main MCU T'Challa with a different actor and cut out the multiverse angle. Feige clearly said they will not recast T'Challa (and he didn't even leave it open for future possibility like saying "We won't recast T'Challa THIS TIME" or "We won't be recasting T'Challa for Black Panther 2".
