De pas overleden Chadwick Boseman zou normaal opnieuw zijn opwachting maken als T’Challa in Ryan Cooglers Black Panther II en op Twitter wordt opgeroepen om de acteur niet te vervangen.

Marvel Studios verving eerder al Edward Norton door Mark Ruffalo voor de rol van de Hulk en Terrence Howard door Don Cheadle voor de rol van War Machine, maar die beslissingen hadden niets met een onverwacht overlijden te maken.

Sommige fans suggereren om Black Panther II te schrappen en anderen vinden dat de hoofdrol naar Letitia Wright, die T’Challa’s zus Shuri vertolkt in het Marvel Cinematic Universe, zou moeten gaan.

Mogelijk krijgen Marvel-fans Boseman nog eenmaal te horen in de animatieserie What If…?. Daarin zou de acteur zijn stem lenen aan een alternatieve versie van Black Panther. Het is onduidelijk of Bosemans stemopnames er al opzaten.

Don’t recast. He can’t be replaced. #WakandaForever

You guys better not continue Black Panther 2 or recast it. That would be disgusting

Please,don’t recast Black Panther and just cancel Black Panther 2. He was an amazing actor and let him rest in peace.

just to be clear Marvel do not recast that role. Go ahead and scrap Black Panther 2… we don’t need it.

I don't think you recast Black Panther, I think you give the mantle to Shuri. Honor what Boseman did in the role, and Letitia Wright would be great.

Dear Marvel…Chadwick Boseman as The Black Panther should be honored in the next movie and you should not recast the character. Let King T'Challa rest in peace and allow Shuri to take the mantle of The Black Panther. Chadwick deserves that honor for what he did for the MCU as a pic.twitter.com/Up3pj8BilR

I hope that marvel will not recast t'challa n will take #Shuri as a black panther… because we can make another black panther, but we can't make another @chadwickboseman pic.twitter.com/3j2pV9Kpc1

I know shows and movies have recast characters whose portrayers died before, but I don't think fans would accept a new T'Challa right now. If they want to still make Black Panther 2, have Shuri become the lead and dedicate the film to Chadwick's memory.
