Recasting Black Panther
With the news of Chadwick's star being unveiled, perhaps it's time to talk about a male Black Panther replacement. No one can replace Chadwick, but with the passage of time and the multiverse, perhaps more tales can be told with a proper re-casting.
With this, I'll throw in my 2 cents and suggest Chris Chalk, which has starred in Homeland, Perry Mason, and now, Welcome to Derry. Thoughts or alternatives?

Muhammad Ali!
I nominate Terrence Howard
If recasting with the intent the actor is playing the role for 10+ years, you need to go younger. Under 40.
Damson Idris is a popular suggestion. I have not seen a better suggestion.
If they ever recast Daredevil Morgan is your man.
After Secret Wars pretty much everyone is assuming the MCU will have some sort of pseudo reboot, considering even Feige has been suggesting this.
So they can have a new BP easily from that. Depending on the story Coogler wants to tell.
Same issue
I'd definitely like to see Shuri interact with an alternate-universe version of her brother. And see a new imagining of Wakanda.
I would assume that Coogler is doing Black Panther 3 and then he's done with his franchise.
I don't think he's obviously going to use T'Challa Jr as the main role. Aging up would be awkward unless the film is set in the future 20 years from the last film.
I think the introduce of T'Challa Jr is to show that Shuri still has family and that legacies can live on. I don't think it's supposed to be this indication that T'Challa is never going to be recast.
Also, "so long"? It's been one movie, which was focused on T'Challa's death. Not like it's been multiple movies since.
Personally I want a different angle. I want Shuri to remain as the Queen of Wakanda while T'Challa Jr becomes the new BP. I want him to be more protective of Wakanda, more apprehensive of the outer world while Shuri remains the same. It will create an interesting dynamic.
I will not be taking further questions
He’s great though not sure if he wants to do a long term superhero thing.
Nothing we say is going to change anything Coogler already has his plan for BP3
He was fantastic in the first movie but we never got to see him again because they killed off his character. I think it would have been an amazing way to carry the franchise forward while paying respect to Boseman. Coogler could have just put a little dedication/disclaimer before the movie explaining the change to the audience.
