Fans Urge Marvel to Recast Chadwick Boseman’s Black Panther
Written by Site Hub on December 28, 2021
After the announcement of the late Chadwick Boseman, Kevin Feige of Marvel stated that they have no plans to recast the beloved actor’s role as King T’Challa and that “Black Panther 2” will honor his legacy. Last December, Feige stated: “To honor the legacy that Chad helped us build, we want to continue to explore the world of Wakanda and all the rich and varied characters introduced in the first film.”
While Marvel may not want to recast, fans and Boseman’s brother say otherwise. Viral trends called “Recast T’Challa” and “Save T’Challa” are urging Marvel to reconsider writing Boseman’s character out of the MCU, and in the past, they even started a petition on change.org. In agreement with the fans, Derrick Boseman, reportedly told TMZ that Chadwick would have wanted T’Challa to continue in the MCU: “Chadwick thought T’Challa was bigger than just himself as one guy.”
