Hey look, it's Prince T'Challa II and his grandmother Queen Ramonda :')

Is this a soft launch?! Who knows. I really would love it if Damson Idris either is playing T'Challa's son Toussaint or just a whole new T'Challa. He''s a phenomenal actor and I believe would play the role very well.

F1 guy? Yeah, great casting. There would have to be a timeskip if he was cast as T'Challa.

Willsbill22025-10-27 09:48

Or just some yada yada time warp thingy dimensions or whatever in secret wars or doomsday

knight_in_white2025-10-27 15:31

Like we’ve even done it with ant man when Banner was trying to figure out time travel

greenroom6282025-10-27 16:45

Or yada yada conceived with the natural heart shaped herb in his blood and when given the synthetic version made him rapidly age yada yada...

it'd be an interesting character development to have the adult power of the black panther given to a pre-pubescent kid.

AnonymousFriend802025-10-27 16:48

For some actual reason or just because, never to be explained?

Antrikshy2025-10-27 19:13

There's no way they do anything unexplained after how WF handled both T'Challa and his son.

I understood that reference

Solus_Vael2025-10-27 17:08

Could be from another multiverse where T'challa and Nakia got together much earlier, married, and had a kid. Instead of her wanting to focus more on being a spy to take down slavers. So their kid could be 5-10 years older than the one seen at the end of Wakanda Forever. But who knows, I hope it won't be a time travel thing gimick, because there will be a lot of things they will have to establish.

InflictingRage2025-10-27 18:36

Maybe a Black Panther whose universe got destroyed in the upcoming incursion because of Dr. Doom? This Black Panther aligns with the remaining heroes in Secret Wars to overthrow Doom, and after Secret Wars comes to the Sacred Timeline to rule Wakanda since they don’t have a Black Panther right now

PHotstepper3112025-10-28 21:43

Loki: “and now you’re an avenger” does knighting gesture then time shenanigans

igby12025-10-27 09:49

Snowfall guy. But yeah, also F1 guy.

He got to show a lot more range across 60 episodes of Snowfall.

escapistfool2025-10-27 09:52

Excellent actor!! Would love to see him play our new Black Panther.

beefeez2025-10-27 09:53

yep for me personally going from rooting for him to hating him to pitying him was 100% because of the range he showed playing the character

CommitteeOfOne2025-10-27 17:29

The turn his character took in the last episode was just . . . wow. I'm not saying Franklin didn't deserve to fall, but it was absolutely painful to watch.

Secure_Pear_45302025-10-27 11:17

Some of the writing and performance on that show were flawed but you know when this guy is part of the scene he acts the hell out of it. Show's worth watching just to see how crazy his performance was.

ReconWasHere2025-10-27 14:02

"i built Wakanda brick by brick, and I be damned if I let you tear it down just coz you don't like the way another hero talk." - T'Challa II

mofolegendama2025-10-28 01:52

Brick by brick…

jamesbondswanson2025-10-27 10:04

With everything that’s going on with doomsday and secret wars a significant time jump would almost be expected. Wouldn’t be surprised at all if it happened

Antares05312025-10-27 10:14

May as well save him for the reboot at this point imo. Except for when you get multi dimension stuff in secret wars.

Eric_T_Meraki2025-10-27 12:25

He can act as well. Great in Snowfall.

kvngk3n2025-10-27 15:09

F1 Guy? No.

Thats Franklin Saint.

robodrew2025-10-27 15:25

Or he comes from the future

Randolpho2025-10-27 16:14

Like Marvel ever tells us what year it is when there's a movie.

That's for the canon wonks to suss out

demonoddy2025-10-27 20:17

Or he’s from another timeline or reality. Who cares at this point lol we need a black panther

Live_Angle46212025-10-28 18:06

It would be horrible if they did that

YaButtIsDaBomb692025-10-27 09:50

I always thought Doom would send Wakanda into the future for Doomsday then when we see them again Shuri could be an old woman with the now adult T’Challa Jr. as the black panther.

escapistfool2025-10-27 09:52

That would be insane.

There's an episode of Stargate SG1 where the hero spaceship is going to be hit by a big laser so the smart character is able to freeze time so that the laser doesn't hit. The whole cast ends up growing old on the ship while the smart characters try to work out how to stop the ship from getting hit by the laser. In the end they work out how to do it but one character has to sacrifice themselves as has to remain old while all the other characters revert to their younger selves and no longer remember any of the events that transpired over the decades they were trapped on the ship. They could do something like that?

AnonymousFriend802025-10-27 17:18

That's fine for a show that have 20 episodes a year to tell dozens and dozens of standalone stories that always revert back to status quo.

AvatarIII2025-10-27 18:09

It's not back to status quo though, one character is forever aged up.

andrewautopsy2025-10-27 13:24

I'm game for this if it means Shuri gets recasted and we never have to see Letitia again

Perca_fluviatilis2025-10-27 21:47

Yeah, same

zutarasemblance2025-10-27 22:14

Wait what did I miss? Why the beef with Letitia?

ItsBarryParker2025-10-27 23:10

It's old news from pandemic, she's an Anti vaxxer

Diortheking2025-10-27 14:18

Best way to get tchalla back he plays a big part in secret wars be ashamed he missed it

Mcspeed1232025-10-27 10:04

Oh yeah,this totally is a soft launch ! I was watching this but didnt see this part,why include Angela in her costume and have him...something is brewing !

escapistfool2025-10-27 10:04

It’s all too convenient right?!

Mcspeed1232025-10-27 10:06

Yeah,this lines up with the leaked concept art with got of Doomsday a bit ago,he's talked about it before in interviews,I wish these thing didnt have to be so secretive,it gets tiring 😂.We shall see December of next year !

SharpshootinTearaway2025-10-27 10:04

He does look a lot like a grownup version of the little kid who played Toussaint in Wakanda Forever. And like what a mix between Chadwick and Lupita might look like.

I've seen theories about 8 years passing on Battleworld, and, while I'm not too fond of it (it's a freaking long time, our heroes will grow very old, unless time doesn't pass for the Life Raft survivors or something), Damson Idris could fit the bill.

He'd be 34 playing an 18-year-old but we've seen worse.

Eric_T_Meraki2025-10-27 12:28

He still looks the age to make it passable. Kind of has that Tom Holland youthfulness like when he was casted. It's fine honestly.

ChildofObama2025-10-27 10:09

He could’ve been a solid choice for new Kang, he looks enough like Majors for a seamless transition.

SharpshootinTearaway2025-10-27 10:20

I really don't think he looks anything like Majors.

Majors has lighter skin, a bigger nose, and big puffy cheeks that kinda give him a resting pouty face. He also looks much more mature. Idris has a much darker skintone, a small nose and high cheekbones with hollow cheeks. He looks like a pretty boy.

IAmActionBear2025-10-27 10:24

??? They look nothing alike, lol.

SellMeYourSirin2025-10-27 10:27

The similarities are crazy TF you mean?

1\) Black ✅

2)...

Oh

ChildofObama2025-10-27 10:32

They look alike, besides Idris not having that scrunched up forehead Majors has.

SellMeYourSirin2025-10-27 10:41

No the fuck they don't.

Google them individually.

If you still believe that, you may have face blindness.. or *something* else.

ZekeorSomething2025-10-27 12:36

2) They have facial hair and have black hair.

ZachRyder2025-10-27 10:28

#BRUH

ChildofObama2025-10-27 10:15

Idk, after Sinners, I feel like Miles Caton is the frontrunner for T’Challa jr.

Doesn’t Coogler like working with the same actors like Christopher Nolan?

Secure_Pear_45302025-10-27 11:21

I saw Caton say he wants to play Miles Spider-Man since they got the same name. But honestly doubt he'd say no if Coogler wanted him to be Toussaint/T'Challa Jr.

SWPrequelFan815662025-10-27 10:18

...wait i thought her character died. Where's this photo even from?

Jertimmer2025-10-27 12:13

Vogue Fashion show, Angela Bassett was opening for the Afrofuturism section of the show.

Idaho_In_Uranus2025-10-27 10:25

I thought it was the kid in the credits scene of WF…and I know time is moving faster, but I was like goddammmit he grew up fast.

jojopojo642025-10-27 15:44

I had a near heart attack thinking the same thing. I was like "how much time has passed since WF?!" before realizing the context of OP's headline lmao

Heisenburgo2025-10-28 10:28

Same lol. I began panicking thinking the movie had released in like 2019 or something, I was like "that can't be right, can it? wait was 2019 really 6 years ago?" my perception of time has been screwed by the pandemic I swear.

Defiant_Wheel48882025-10-27 10:31

officialy leaked concept art suit fit him well.

BookoftheGrey2025-10-27 10:35

Start the Galactica Kingdom of Wakanda, do some faster than light shenanigans and have him be the princeling. Insert into current environment and scale up the storytelling in one swoop... Maybe?

ConflictResolutioner2025-10-27 11:05

Where is this pic from?

Riverdale872025-10-27 13:46

it was from a event called Vogue World 2025

Afwife19922025-10-27 12:02

Marvel is pretty good about snatching up young actors on the come up. He’d be a great addition.

Naked_Snake_22025-10-27 12:24

Secret war reset and boom , he was Tchalla all along like how a different face Tony and Steve existed in the new Avengers xmen f4 shared world

Or

Well in post secret war reset , Tchalla son is all grown up , and he is basically Tchalla only as a person

FerrusManlyManus2025-10-27 12:38

OP are you feeling ok? Why wouldn’t you say where this pic is from? So you have a fever? Are you ill in some way?

marccoogs2025-10-27 16:54

Vogue Hollywood Fashion Show from this weekend. There was an Afrofuturisim segment, and she was the special guest alongside Damson. Danai Gurrira also came out dressed as Okoye.

FerrusManlyManus2025-10-27 17:34

Are you OP’s second account or something?

marccoogs2025-10-27 17:39

Nope. Just responded to the question that you asked. Does it matter that it didn't come from the OP?

FerrusManlyManus2025-10-27 19:37

I didn’t ask for the info I asked why they didn’t provide the info at the start.

They exhibited truly puzzling behavior

NASCAR1420022025-10-27 12:50

I mean I’m sure he’d knock it out of the park is perfectly fine but I’d rather them go for an unknown 25 ish year old kinda like David for Superman.

Sharp_Black2025-10-27 12:58

Please be T'Challa II. And make MCU storm is his love interest.

zlmb5_2025-10-27 14:00

I really believe that people are overestimating how much of a soft reboot is going to be, like being fr? Price t'chala is probably going to be a teen by black panther 3, but you know, he might show up in doomsday as variant of t'chala, I love the idea

azaharinflames2025-10-27 14:34

i’m manifesting this SO hard. he’d be perfect for the role

BartleBossy2025-10-27 14:41

Im still annoyed they fridged Ramonda

chazjo2025-10-27 15:35

And Killmonger. Waste of a villain. I know it's a bit tropey but imagine they killed Joker the first chance they get in a new Batman franchise.

Antrikshy2025-10-27 19:13

I'm still mad about Klaue.

chazjo2025-10-27 21:55

At least he had multiple film but yeah really weird to kill multiple villains in the first Black Panther film.

Soulwarfare422025-10-27 15:54

I might be the only one who is against ageing up T'Challa 2

Would honestly prefer they get a T'Challa from another universe

SharpshootinTearaway2025-10-27 16:14

I feel like that would just complicate things unnecessarily. Who is the rightful heir of the Wakanda, then? What place would Variant T'Challa find among 616 T'Challa's sister, widow and son? Wouldn't that be weird for them to see a variant of their dad/husband run around and shag Storm? Wouldn't the Dora Milaje and the people of Wakanda think that pledging allegiance to a variant of their King is a bit like treason?

It worked in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.3 because it was their final sendoff and a way to conclude Gamora's story by giving closure to Starlord before never seeing her again. But I don't think that kind of unnecessarily-complicated conundrum would be a great foundation on which they should build a mainstay superhero.

Maybe I'm wrong, though. How would you envision a Variant T'Challa fitting in the story without making it annoyingly convoluted?

Soulwarfare422025-10-27 16:49

Introduce a T'Challa from a destroyed universe where he lost everyone.

Black Panther 3 can then be about the new T'Challa living up to the legacy of Chadwick's T'Challa including protecting this universe T'Challa's son for example. Some of the conflict and tension could be from some characters from Wakanda like Shuri not fully accepting him or something.

That way you can still bring back the character of T'Challa without disrespecting Chadwick's T'Challa character. You can also have T'Challa marry Storm like in the comics if they go down that direction.

Linnus422025-10-27 18:35

I mean after the soft reset/reboot. Variant T’Challa will just be the real T’Challa all along when they merge the universes.

SharpshootinTearaway2025-10-27 18:38

But then the whole Storm romance everyone seems to want won't happen since he'd be married with a kid already?

Linnus422025-10-27 18:39

Who is to say the marriage to Nakia or the kid crosses over with the merger.

SharpshootinTearaway2025-10-27 18:42

What would be the point in introducing a character only to immediately erase him? They would kinda make fools of themselves by backtracking like that.

Linnus422025-10-27 18:42

Marvel has backtracked on plenty of things. The whole point of this soft reboot/reset is to backtrack

SharpshootinTearaway2025-10-27 19:01

The MCU hasn't. The comics constantly backtrack on things and people make fun of them for that because it's ridiculous. It's a major flaw of the genre that the movies don't need to carry over.

How can you have faith in a movie and its stakes when you know that the next writer has the power to undo everything as they please? Especially given that we're talking about a movie that came out only 3 years ago. Pretty sure Feige already had an idea of what he wanted to do with Doomsday and Secret Wars back then. If T'Challa Jr wasn't here to stay, they wouldn't have wasted money filming his post-credit scene.

They're much more likely to *include* new characters to the main continuity than to erase the existing characters.

“A soft reset is a type of reset that is used to restart a device or system **without losing any data.**”

Linnus422025-10-27 18:34

Indeed I have zero interest in T’Junior.

Give me the real T’Challa.

DannyRandy_212025-11-01 23:08

Yes get actual T'Challa or don't use him at all

_StrangeIsLife_2025-10-27 18:28

Great casting choice. If he plays adult T'Challa II then there better be a good explanation for the aging up.

Linnus422025-10-27 19:04

Right and when is Kang Dynasty coming out again? Plans change.

Ill3galAlien2025-10-27 19:06

Queen Ramonda in full regalia... love it

geekphreak2025-10-27 19:18

He was really good in the FX show Snowfall

escapistfool2025-10-27 19:18

Damson Idris!

eastsideflaco2025-10-27 19:22

He won’t be cast as t’challa. He will be the son of t’challa.

SomewhereChillin2025-10-27 20:49

The child of Nakia and Tchalla calling it

RoyalCod32025-10-28 03:53

If he's really casted into the MCU, I think he's going to be T'Challa's son.

itspixcelation2025-10-28 10:29

TBH they could easily hold off until the inevitable universe reset after Secret Wars and make it so T'Challa was around from the very beginning.

WhatTheJessJedi2025-10-28 17:15

New T'Challa pulled from another Universe please. No second generation, and I agree this would be fantastic.

Numerous-Estate-93072025-10-29 02:52

Not Jr please. Rather make him the real T'Challa

hashtaglurking2025-10-29 12:01

Ugh 👎
