Why we shouldn't get a new T'Challa

We already got one (T'Challa's son is named T'Challa)

Actors should not dictate the fate of characters. However once the decision was made to not recast that decision should be honored. However after secret wars there is supposed to be a reboot. This means characters who are dead can and should come back.

There's no reason why we can both had Tchalla and Shuri as great characters both being a black panther. Especially in a universe where we have two thors, two Hawkeyes, two-three widows, multiple captain Americas and people with stark suits. Also chances are they are probably gonna recast Steve Rogers and Tony Stark post secret wars.

As much I think the whole not recasting T'challa right away move was the wrong move, I doubt the studio fully ever intended on recasting T'challa. They probably just refused to admit they wouldn't right away.

They honored hm multiple times. Time to let someone else take this important role and make something with it for many others to enjoy!

I don’t think they ever really said “we will never recast because of Boseman”. The resounding sentiment was that they didn’t want to recast so soon after his death because everyone involved on the project was friends with him and it would be very difficult to do so from an emotional standpoint more than a logistical one. Hell, pretty much everyone that knew Boseman intimately has said that he would have wanted the character to go on.

All that being said, they keep intimating that a reboot or reimagining is coming post secret wars due to all the multiverse things going on, so it gives them a clean slate of sorts to start bringing back any and all characters like you see in the comics

If they’re rebooting the mcu and eventually having all main faces like Tony stark, Steve Rodgers etc come back, I wouldn’t mind T’Challa also returning just for consistency’s sake.

Shuri is a legacy character and will always be the less popular Black Panther. On top of that, we never got the full “story” of T’Challa, one of the most popular mcu characters in general, as it had to stop abruptly (Chadwick Boseman passing away). So a lot of people are going to prefer another go at him than keep shuri.

# Why we shouldn't get a new T'Challa



Because shuri cannot become tchala or black panther. because she is shuri she is not black panther at any cost. example lets say ironman not died in endgame, we see pepper wear suit that mean we need new pepper movie name ironman - rescue armor. she weared it for situation she is always tony's wife as well as stark ceo she cant be ironman. or tony stark

1) Shuri has had more time developing and establishing on screen as her own characte, very much independent from Black Panther. She doesn’t need to wear the suit, she design and engineers them. In many ways, they dumbed down T’Challas genius level intellect (he rivals Stark and Richard’s and Pym), so that Shuri could have more presence and purpose on screen. She doesn’t need to hold the title or moniker of Black Panther.

2) Black Panther is an extremely important character, not just to the Marvel Universe, but to our real world as well. He represents so much to so many who have otherwise seen comics reduce minority characters to backdrop pieces or hurtful stereotypes. Shuri might not need Black Panther, but we do.

3) as Queen of Wakanda, Shuri is in charge and is well established as anti-traditional. There’s nothing stopping her from remaining A Black Panther AND naming a new one as the official protector of Wakanda.

4) and this is more about my opinion than the others. I am still heart broken over Chadwick Bosemans passing. I think his silent suffering and showing up to do the very strenuous work that his roles required while undergoing treatments and doing the humanitarian and charity work he did. Man. It’s so inspiring to know how good of a person he was. I don’t think his role should be recast. But I also refuse to believe that we should honor his legacy by allowing it to be forgotten. Having TChallas son in the mix, not recasting the “616 MCU TChalla” or introducing a new actor as a TChalla variant, THATS what legacy is about. And I’m really excited for what a trilogy rounds out.

5) Black Panthers mythos is entrenched in some universal themes: loss/grief, as Bast and the Ancestral Plane bring BPs to meet their ancestors before taking on the power and responsibility of the mantle. Hope for a new dawn, an empowering vision of an African nation that wasn’t exploited and stripped of his sons and daughters and natural resources, where its art and culture and technology not only withstood against invaders and outsiders, but defended against them with superior force. See Wakanda and die. And of course, the other theme is legacy, which I’ve already discussed. We get HOPE as the major theme in BP1, introducing the world to Wakanda and the potential for good and lasting change in the world because of Wakanda and BPs influence and personal growth. In BP2 we get a very different movie focused around grief and loss.

6) Ryan Coogler is a much better storyteller than I am, and I’m sure BP3 will be whatever I say next, but Legacy seems like a natural focused theme for BP3. A young adult TChalla jr., coming of age story, exploring the many untold tales and adventures of a father he never knew and a legacy left behind he works to be worthy of.

7) the Black Panther lives!

They can't recast **the current iteration of T'challa** because the character is already dead in-universe anyways. They already commited to that, there's no going back.

With that said, we can have a new rebooted timeline or simply T'Challa II which I think is the plan given the ending of Wakanda Forever.

T'challa is black panther... as a franchise and brand period. hes the reason people even care about the ip so obviously people want to see the main character.hes developed and has stories since the 60's to show not his background cast. not hard to understand.

I don’t understand the logic of saying your main character who the entire Franchise is centered is unnecessary. We’re not saying this about Goku to justify him being kicked off his own series, we’re not saying this about Superman, Batman, or any other established superhero, but for Black Panther(the premier black superhero), and T’challa he has to be constantly diminished, and removed. I don’t like it. We wouldn’t do this to other characters.
