David Jonsson as new TChalla?

His performances in both Alien Romulus & The Long Walk are outstanding. He carries this quiet dignity that reminds me alot of Chadwick. What are everyone's thoughts on him either being new TChalla from a different timeline or TChalla's so grown up.

No sorry.

TemperatureAway84082025-09-24 04:06

Any rising black actor gets posts like these it’s actually crazy

BROvoloneCheez2025-09-24 04:07

Well yeah lol

rpgmind2025-09-24 04:21

Are you black, and rising? Even rising up outta bed in the morning is fine- I think you’d make a great t’challa! 🤩

gabeonsmogon2025-09-24 04:44

Unlike Damson Idris, Jonsson is a really great actor though

KingJTt2025-09-24 05:14

Damson is a very skilled actor you’re tripping. He made the show “snowfall”, and is the highlight of the series for a reason.

gabeonsmogon2025-09-24 05:39

I didn’t say he was bad just IMO serviceable. DJ is consistently good.

havewelost63882025-09-24 04:07

He'd be a good Prince T'Challa.

knightress_oxhide2025-09-24 04:07

jaffa kree!

AnySpirit6482025-09-24 04:08

Damson Idris is the perfect choice imo
Brick by brick!!

lawvert2025-09-24 04:09

Would love this!

SinisterCryptid2025-09-24 04:09

Some people are not beating that one fuckass post where it picked random background civilians in the Sam Raimi Spider-Man movies as Miles and his family

Kwilly4622025-09-24 04:10

Too short

spiderj85792025-09-24 04:22

Hes 5’9” can Chadwick was 6’.

WayneEastwood3162025-09-24 04:11

Nah, dude from Snowfall seems more legit

Dynamic_Samurai2025-09-24 04:13

Good actor, but nah

Appropriate-Drawing32025-09-24 04:13

Hang on a minute, you have something here

BuffaloNo90112025-09-24 05:27

😲 🔥 someone get this man a shield

zerogamewhatsoever2025-09-24 04:14

That kid at the end of Wakanda Forever will be a young adult by the time they make another Black Panther movie.

Jays_Pack2025-09-24 04:16

🤣 This is true.

SeanWonder2025-09-24 04:37

True but who knows if he’s gonna grow up to be an actually good actor. Can’t just bank on that

disneylegospider12025-09-24 04:41

They’ll just recast tchalla jr, just like they did Cassie Lang and many other aged up characters in the MCU.

SeanWonder2025-09-24 04:50

Exactly. It’d be a miracle if the kid really did grow up and rise up through Hollywood as a legit good actor right in time for him to reprise his role in BP

zerogamewhatsoever2025-09-24 05:15

I’m sure they’ve already signed him to a 12-picture deal.

DUNG_INSPECTOR2025-09-24 04:17

He seems a little too short based on this picture.

Jays_Pack2025-09-24 04:23

Marvel would give him a trainer to get bigger and in terms of his height that's not really a problem with movies. Look at Tom Hardy as Bane. The guy is only 5'9 but they made him look massive in TDKR.

DUNG_INSPECTOR2025-09-24 05:33

Sure, movie magic can make guys look bigger, but he just doesn't have the right frame in my opinion.

DJfunkyPuddle2025-09-24 04:17

He's the new Kang

orange7slices2025-09-24 04:53

I literally thought this the whole time watching him act.

DJfunkyPuddle2025-09-24 05:19

I know it's a slim chance but I would be ecstatic if Marvel stuck with their Kang plans and had him show up at the end of Doomsday and wreck shop on the Avengers. Maybe the conflict between him, the heroes, and Doom is what causes secret war/Battleworld to come about.

Ariesmafiaaa2025-09-24 04:18

He’s a great actor. I don’t know if they go with him as T’Challa, but I’d love to see him in the MCU (or DCU)

spiderj85792025-09-24 04:21

Hell yeah I was thinking this during this movie the entire time!!! He would make a bad ass Tchalla and I’m on board with it.

taengoomunn2025-09-24 04:22

I haven’t seen him in the long walk yet tho I’ve heard good things about his performance. I also loved his performance in romulus. Hell yeah I’d be down to see this happen too!

QuirkyKlyborg2025-09-24 05:40

He was the standout performance by a mile - and all the performances were very good. It's a gut-wrenching movie, but his character is the heart and soul of it, and he acts the hell out of the role.

Maceface9312025-09-24 06:24

This describes both LW and Romulus

QuirkyKlyborg2025-09-24 06:30

Haven't seen Alien Romulus yet - how necessary is it to have seen any of the previous alien films?

toomuchhamza2025-09-24 06:55

Personally, I don’t think you need to have seen them.

Maceface9312025-09-24 14:46

There's some connections but this is pretty standalone

TripleCrownVillainy2025-09-24 04:23

Damson Idris is the only right answer.

Watched F1 a few months ago, he’s got the swagger to pull it off

Desperate_Purpose4192025-09-24 04:24

I don’t want another tchalla

KingJTt2025-09-24 05:16

Black Panther fans do

Desperate_Purpose4192025-09-24 05:18

As a black panther fan, I don’t. Maybe that’s fine for others though

KingJTt2025-09-24 05:35

You’re not a black panther fan then. The character IS Tchalla. No one else.

lambopanda2025-09-24 04:27

I thought they were looking at Damson Idris to be T’Challa Jr.

Tim_Hag2025-09-24 04:29

He's great but I always think of T'Challa as being a bit older, gotta have some mileage on him

B-52-M2025-09-24 06:24

He’s in his thirties

HansGruberWasRight12025-09-24 04:29

My brain made it "David *Johansen*", and I was very, VERY confused.

ProlongedChief2025-09-24 04:33

No, new Kang

phatboyart2025-09-24 04:35

He constantly has a sad look on his face. Not sure that would work for BP.

bjwills72025-09-24 04:35

Never heard of this guy until Romulus, he absolutely killed it as a synth. Best actor in that movie hands down and that's not me hating on the others.

MacReady0072025-09-24 04:38

Jeez, he would actually be fire

Caedyn_Khan2025-09-24 04:39

Sounds good to me. He was so good in Alien: Romulus. Will have to check The Long Walk out.

Iamtherealbuk2025-09-24 04:40

Idk I first saw him in Industry and now I can only see him as that freaky ass character lmao

etrigan632025-09-24 04:40

I've not seen his work so I cannot comment on whether he'd make a good Black Panther, however, this photo makes him look like he a mouth on his forehead. Just sayin'

GoatDifferent12942025-09-24 04:41

Ummm how would that even work? Are we gonna just fast forward everything to age the boy up by 20 years or something?

Jays_Pack2025-09-24 04:58

It's Marvel. They could make something like the kid got sucked into another universe, maybe the quantum realm and when he came by / got rescued hes aged by 15 or so years.

thejacobmendez2025-09-24 04:43

Love him, but I’d rather Damson Idris (F1) to take on T’Challa if anyone does.

SarcasticGamer2025-09-24 04:46

Lmao not with those eyebrows. My man looks concerned at all times and it's distracting as hell.

Mr_Podo2025-09-24 04:56

I’m here for it. Loved dude in Romulus

deadskinmask662025-09-24 04:57

Dude, I was thinking this exactly when I was watching the movie! Not necessarily T’challa but definitely to take up the mantle as Black Panther!

SmallTimeBoot2025-09-24 05:06

Yes. Do this. Just say the kid grew up faster because of the snap or something

Alternative_Try_58882025-09-24 05:07

He was seriously impressive in both films. He’s going to be huge in the next few years

blumpk1nman2025-09-24 05:08

He also looks a shitload like him and has the same speech pattern as him. Perfect choice, if only just a few inches too short.

TheTangerineLounge2025-09-24 05:17

Damson Idris.

![gif](giphy|236hgQQs5BBJqVqp3P)

AppropriatePurple6092025-09-24 05:26

I'd save him for Kang.

Eminem7042025-09-24 05:45

Thia guy was interviewed by Josh Horowitz on YouTube and asked the same question. For now he denied rumors of being in talks with Marvel & Feige

Steve104552025-09-24 05:50

Bro cooked

DeLand19912025-09-24 05:53

I like this pick more than Damson.

B-52-M2025-09-24 06:10

The dude’s a star. I’m all for it

Sirius_Space2025-09-24 06:11

Having seen only David Jonsson in Alien: Romulus and The Long Walk, and not the other popular comment Damson Idris, I’m gonna vote David.

He was killer in The Long Walk, he was the star. Forget main character Garraty, McVries stoled the show.

Obi_1_Kenobee2025-09-24 06:12

hes a talented actor but he’s got a serious case of the droopy eyes.

Opalusprime2025-09-24 06:25

I’d love it

Muiquel2025-09-24 07:24

Loved his performance in The Industry

SunhoDrakath2025-09-24 07:48

Yes! I hope they can find a way to bring him back one day even though he’s a much bigger star now.

Chessh20362025-09-24 07:50

All I could think about watching that film (which is great) was how badly I want him in the MCU.

zzz0992025-09-24 07:59

He looks small

Poku1152025-09-24 08:02

I liked his performance in romulus but cant imagine his face as tchalla

Hes quite handsome, just dont think its the face but hey, ive been wromg before.

I thought he would have made a better replacement for Kang.
