I don't think anyone in this forum is expecting Marvel to secretly have the character in the movie or have recast the role without telling us or have brought in a variant without telling. Most people in this forum are realists and know exactly what's about to happen.
The only thing that's going to save T'Challa is the abject failure of this movie and the new Wakanda is the star retrofitting narrative.
And even then the movie will still be a failure because people that don't value the character are in charge
Wakanda is essentially a new dumping Ground for original black creations. A place for these half famous literaries to insert themselves and their ideas above the history of this franchise and the people that wrote it and the character himself.
How many brand new characters do we have in the franchise in the last run and a half that are supposed to be big deals going forward? Brand new Origins? Brand new character attributes?
Using T'Challa as a springboard for all these new african characters is poetic and nice in a way but the problem is he's a better character than all of them combined for the simple fact that he has the Legacy big enough to do something like spawning all of these black characters. Without him it will fall apart.
He's the only one with broad appeal outside of Shuri who might appeal to some white women at least before Leticia turned into Candace Owens on them.
Like was said previously in this thread speak with your wallets. They better hope all those Grandma's from the first movie are into comic books/merchandise and games now

I kinda dislike the whole casualness she instills in the setting. Which granted is an issue with the rest of the family where no one really treats T'Challa as king.
Like the never freeze bit which has everyone, even Okoye ribbing T'Challa. As I said it's too casual, where's the kingly dignity am I right?
