Slap in the face if its Shuri variant or a female T'Challa.
Those were the rumors long before T'Challa died.
Got damn how cool would it be to see a variant Illuminanti T'Challa. Pisses me off how they probably plan to wipe all forms of T'Challa in that media. See how they scrapped Star T'Challa smh.
They'll tell us they satiated the black community by giving us Shuri variant and Captain Marvel's friend as variant Captain Marvel

Funny how some don't want T'Challa to be recast but are excited that Tom Cruise might play the Superior Iron Man in MOM despite it being a rumor at the moment

Seemingly died in BP1 for the glory of Michael B Jordan
Died in Avengers because "the Russos didnt think the character was gonna be as big as he was"
Died in What if which it turns out isnt a what if story but an alternate reality connected with the MCU's main one
Thats 3
Marvel ain't that Dumb, they aren't going to kill off T'Challa then bring on a Shuri variant. They would be facing a PR nightmare and would tank the franchise pulling something so stupid. Everyone would call them out for their hypocrisy, profiting off Black death. And the utter disrespect taken to a level beyond where's it's already at. That would be suicide.
