I thought the Multiverse angle was the perfect excuse to recast Black Panther as Michael B. Jordan. As in killmonger was Black Panther in another verse.

My biggest fear with Black Panther 2 is that it won't work without Chadwick Boseman

"Listen W'kabi, I know you tried to overthrow the last king with the help of his omnicidal cousin and had a huge knock-down drag-out with your wife in public with rhinos, but c'mon. Erik slid you some of that herb, right?"
Now that I had some time to think about it I would prefer him recast.
However, there are some great stories about Wakanda that you can tell without Tchalla. Black panther can be an agent of Wakanda. Boom. There you go.

I think avoiding a recast and working through the unexpected tragic death could lead to something much more interesting.
100%. The Marvel Machine should've went on pause for this one, out of respect for everyone. Forcing production is a gross look to me.
But you know, capitalism, etc.
I don't have any concerns about Black Panther 2.
The MCU does a lot of things well but at the top of the list is rolling with the punches. Their improvisation is indistinguishable from their plans. I'm sure Wakanda Forever will be a better film than the situation warrants.
My concerns extend beyond the film, to an MCU without T'Challa. It just isn't an MCU I am interested in - but that's fine, there has been enough of it for which I was.

I don't think it's just capitalism necessarily. Actor availability is a major concern for films with expansive casts and there are a lot of major actors in Black Panther that all likely have projects lined up years down the line.
Same, was looking forward to that Yasuke film he was doing as wel.
To me Black Panther was always a film with a bland protagonist that was carried by a strong supporting cast.
Boseman wasn't bad in the role. It was more that there really wasn't that much to the character. I'm generally not a big fan of any overly earnest superhero characters like Captain America, Black Panther or Superman.

I'm planning to Binge them very soon! I assume this is hinted at? lol
In the comics yes. But they do not share it because they don't see the point of sharing the cure with a country that promotes the usage of cigarette smoke.
This movie should've happened during the blip, thus explaining why T'Challa wasn't around. And then, a couple years from now you recast and keep the ball going.
It's full of wonderful actors and film makers. As long as everyone puts their hearts into it, I have no worries at all.
LOL. Exactly.
How enlightened of them.
Dude seemed prime to become one of the biggest actors in Hollywood.
It's a real shame, especially because he seemed like a cool person just on a base level.
I'm not especially interested in the sequel without him. If the consensus is fantastic I'll see it. Otherwise, meh.
Boseman was phenomenal.

A few would but I could see Boycotts started, ppl sending death threats to whoever was cast and other shitty things.
Ooooff. That's a really problematic reason IMO. Cigarettes aren't the only thing that cause cancer. Hope the MCU avoids the entirely
Removing the only male black genius king superhero because his actor died was my biggest fear.
Yanking away a character that could serve as an aspirational role model for black boys will forever be a bad idea to me.

There's a lot of things problematic about cures in superhero books, like all mutants being naturally immune to AIDs but no one synthesizing their blood or whatever enzymes exist in their blood to cure the disease. Let alone not basing anything off of Wolverine and Sabretooth's regeneration to treat injuries and diseases.
While what they're doing with BP2 is easy to guess and easily findable on the Internet, I wonder how they're going to tackle the future season of What If.
Will T'Challa completely disappear from the multiverse ? Or will they find a voice actor able to mimic his voice ?

I'm sure it will be a great film, but it will never be what people hoped for or will ever feel like a natural sequel.
the film just has to be good in its own right, and whatever faults it has you can't really blame them for. It's going to be impossible to fault them for this film when they had to make it under such horrible circumstances.

Absolutely agreed with this. T'Challa to me is basically the leader of Earth. He's the leader of The Avengers and is basically the representative for all things Earth in the cosmos.
I wonder if they'll recast in a later film. They could very easily just have him MIA in this film and then back for BP3 if they thought it was too soon.
Comics always lend themselves to those sorts of weird rationales which let them keep reality mostly as we know it despite people like Tony Stark, T'Challa, Reed Richards, or Amadeus Cho who could dramatically improve the quality of life for all. It's best not to think about it too hard as it doesn't make sense and really only works for an audience that is actively trying to suspend disbelief.
Yep. Reed can fix or create anything. But can't cure Ben Grimm-unless it's for one day a year.
