Coogler is an artist, but also a businessman. His priority is to make films that fulfill his vision of the characters and setting... while making a profit.
The cast & crew may or may not have their own input, but they are still in service to the artistic vision of the director... and the need to make a profit.
Did you notice what's missing?
Any input from fans. Because they don't NEED it. They don't need US. Just our money.
Hell, I'm not sure they even need the comic, given how much money the first BP movie made while the Coates run was cratering.
Is it possible that the second movie won't have T'Challa in it at all? Yeah. If they ran the numbers and decide that it will make the targeted box office, they'll do it in a hot minute, and damn the consequences.
Hell, look what they did to the THOR franchise. They turned an awesome (if somewhat impulsive) warrior god into the Dude from The Big Lebowski... and made billions.
Guys (and gals, and other)... we don't count. Even if every person who has ever posted on this thread or bought the comic boycotted the next film, it would still make millions.
Probably a moot point anyway. If this bloody pandemic doesn't get resolved soonish, big-budget tentpole films are doomed.
