I wonder if the studios ever reached out to Coogler to direct Cap4?

For a fresh start to the captain America franchise and Sam not having the best start with his own show, they def needed someone who’s good with character writing, no one at marvels better than Coogler at that in my
opinion.

And if they wanted to tackle a serious theme of a black man being the face of heroism in America, shit I’d offer him any $ he demand.

And w Chadwick’s passing, and BP2 getting mixed reviews from fans, and BLADE going nowhere, we as the black community could’ve a used a nice W in a live action film and Cap4 could’ve been that for us. I still like Mackie (and Shuri) but would’ve liked for Cap4 to be done justice. Hopefully they do something for his storyline in both avengers to bring hype for a sequel to do him justice

And it would’ve been a bit poetic as Wakanda’s main storyline in both films are about them staying away from countries (especially America) and the same director of both films making a movie of black man being the heroic face of America would’ve been poetic.

Who knows, was just a random thought

Why tf did I put a question mark on the title?😫

Even if they had, he wouldn't have done it. Wakanda Forever really took a toll on him.

I like the thought, but Coogler is not the only good black director in Hollywood. It was annoying when they tried placing his name everywhere as an executive producer on Iron Heart when he barely touched the project. Also, Cap 4 was never going to fill seats.

Personally I would love for Jordan Peele or Barry Jenkins to get a shot on directing one of these movies.

Do you think Coogler wants to be that guy who Marvel asks to direct black people?

Seems almost insulting to his talents.

I’ve no doubt he would’ve made a good movie, I just thought it was an interesting question to ask.

Check his resume, Coogler has done nothing but black films. If anything it’s a compliment to ask him cuz you’re handing an iconic franchise like captain America for him to direct the first story of Sam officially as cap.

Now I’d understand if this was just an average black director and they asked him to direct cap4 cuz he’s black. But this is Ryan Coogler (imo one of greatest directors this generation)

Also watch this [short video](https://youtube.com/shorts/P4fgXg9NGHs?si=hyiZtH2bAv7ovc_u) of Denzel that I think would perfectly show you where I’m coming from

Coogler is great with characters, shit with technology and warfare.

Not a huge Coogler fan but he would have done a way better job. But that script and story needed some major work as well. Just so bland

writers strikes and covid, cap 4 wasnt bad. there are lots of other directors who can make cap 5 incredible. but all focus now seems to trend towards doomsday and secret wars then reset or young avengers. if not a miracle kang resurgence
