To the surprise of no-one a fictional second funeral for their loved one that makes Disney more money is not in their interest

Chadwick himself would want this. The character is a huge hero and role model to black children. It's tragic that he suddenly died so early into his portrayal. Black people shouldn't lose their hero forever just cause the original actor died. Black Panther is beyond one man

I have always felt it's wrong to retire the character

Black Panther was an important movie, and not because Chadwick was in it. He did a great job, but I 100% believe them when they say he knew this character was bigger than him and would not want it to end just because he can't play him again.

This. If the family wants it, then let's keep going.

Were they going to retire the character? Didnt they want to pass down the mantle of BP to M'Baku?

I think that is a mistake too though. They shouldn't have Tchalla die in story. Recast to me means recasting Tchalla, not the mantle of Black Panther

Bring back Killmonger from an alternate world and have him turn good. He takes the mantle of Black Panther. Theyre doing all the multiverse alternate timeline stuff so why the f*** not.

I mean while I rather have them recast T'Challa, not sure how letting M'Baku take up the mantle of BP gets rid of the BP hero.

Killmonger is killmonger. He's not t'challa aka the Black Panther in 99% of all appearances. Putting on the costume doesn't make him cease to be killmonger

But M'Baku cant be? Just wondering why people think BP will be gone without T'Challa, he technically isn't the first BP as well. Other people have taken up the mantle as well.

M'Baku is a bad guy in the comics and was never BP I don't think so it's a mistake for them to change this. Just recast him.

Also hot take but if possible I think Chadwick should have stepped down from the role when he found out he had cancer

He IS technically the first. He was him in 1966 and still is today

I think MCU M'Baku is great and Winston Duke would make a bad ass Black Panther, but if you told me 10 years ago that there would be serious conversations about M'Baku the Man-Ape being considered as Black Panther, I would be floored.

But ultimately I'm still on team recast T'Challa.

I doubt they will change anything since they have probably planned everything out and don't want a 2nd delay past November 2022.

Yes, this is correct. The Black Panther Mantle is always held by the ruler of Wakanda. T'Challa is just the next in a long line of Black Panthers.

But, T'Challa, as a character, has a lot of good qualities about him. So people feel the character should keep going, rather than end abruptly because Chadwick died.

None of which have stories or are relevant enough to overtake the franchise from the character it's about which is t'challa. Unless his grandpa is going to marry storm

No that's incorrect. Those other characters only exist to expand the story of t'challa. In reality (where we all live) he is the only black panther that matters and the very first that we've ever seen

They need to recast him because I'd rather they stick with their original plot plans instead of trying to come up with something stupid and/or convoluted to make someone else BP.

Yall lack imagination. It could be a Killmonger that hasnt yet done that. This Goodmonger hasnt done anything bad yet. There can be animosity from the Wakandans that didnt side with the original Killmonger, and Goodmonger has to gain their trust.

We got an alternate universe What If... Killmonger and he was still a conniving dick. Instead of trying to make a third Killmonger who's not a dick to become Black Panther wouldn't it be simpler to just not use Killmonger.

It's for the best. The character is too new to be retired out of respect. And I understand the family not wanting to watch a funeral for his character.

I know Disney would have rather had Shuri take up the mantle as the new Black Panther, but her actor is anti-vax and needs to be recast as well. So, it'd be a lose/lose situation. The cast is going to look different. That's part of the movie business. You can't always have the same actors in the same roles each time. Life gets in the way and, sadly, so does death.

Rest in Peace, Chadwick Boseman.

Why cant a new guy just take up the Black Panther mantle?

Instead of having a new actor play the same character why not write it so that a new guy becomes a new Black Panther?
