I don't know if they make Cole the next Black Panther unless they rewrite him as a native Wakandan. If they do that, then I can see Page in the role. But whatever they do, I hope they can make it work

I don’t think we’re going to see Dr. Doom in this. I think he debut will be saved for the Fantastic Four movie.

@WruceBayne - Would be kinda bold to start another F4 movie with Doom as the villain, but I wouldn't mind it if done right.

@KWilly - It would be better to have him as a supporting character for like the first 2 F4 movies

The only way I give a single [frick] about a Tchalla-less BP film is if Storm is in it.

I’m not sure Freeman could have displayed less confidence in the story for the sequel lol. Doesn’t instill confidence that what they’ve figured out is going to go smoothly.

“So it would be harder for me to stop. Truthfully. I’d feel him yelling at me, like, ‘What are you doing?’ So you keep going."


And then they deleted his character from the MCU. It’s scary how out of touch they are on this. Chadwick would be LIVID that they aborted Tchalla.

Stop trying to make Shuri out to be a fan favorite" Black Panther replacement. Who the hell actually wants that? On another note, I am having a hard time understanding why this movie is even happening. Very low hype for me, hope they come up with something awesome to bring up the excitement. The Namor and Doom angles could do it, but I have serious doubts about those.

@Shivermetimbers - why wouldn’t it be happening?

When Heath Ledger passed during one-third of the way through filming of the Imaginarium of Doc Parnassus production was temporarily suspended. But Gilliam and company decided that the film should go on for Heath. Now, differing from this situation, Ledger's role was recast with Depp, Law, and Farrell as transformations of Ledger’s character and it fit the narrative and world of the film, but the film was dedicated to him. It was a goodbye, a thank you, a celebration of Heath.

@BlackBeltJones - That's a much different situation. I love the world of Wakanda and BP was one of my favorite characters, but I cant see the appeal of a wakanda based movie with a bunch of secondary characters, when there are so many other marvel properties they could have developed instead. Maybe I am bbeing shortsighted when they said they would not recast Boseman's role and assumed that meant no Black Panther. If they just meant T'Challa would be gone and someone else (please not Shuri) would be taking the Mantle of a Black Panther or Black Panther type character, then it could be cool. I t all just feels forced to me.

@Shivermetimbers - I don't see how continuing with a property that's as popular as BP and as unexplored as BP translates to being "forced". They were clearly developing a sequel before we lost Chad, and for them to just abandon that sequel and replace it with some other movie would practically kill the IP.

I agree that going forward without T'Challa is probably the first massive mistake Marvel has ever made as I don't see how future films will hold that same interest factor. But I also think Coogler has earned the right to try to make it work. And if it fails they have the means to soft reboot it with the multiverse by bringing T'Challa back so at least there's the opportunity for a fall back plan.

@Shivermetimbers - A lot of people actually want Shuri to be the Black Panther. That doesn't mean it has to take place in this film though.
GhostDog
GhostDog - 7/23/2021, 8:57 AM
The next BP will be Shuri, a reincarnation of T’Challa, or a collective of those close to T’Challa all taking the mantle together; like Nakia, Okoye, M’Baku etc.
LongMayHeReign
LongMayHeReign - 7/23/2021, 10:56 AM
@BlackBeltJones - Reincarnated T'Challa is the only one that's interesting honestly. MCU Shuri isn't the same trained warrior comics Shuri is and I don't see Letitia carrying her own film. And I definitely don't want to see the mantle of Black Panther turn into this Power Rangers esque group thing. That would just make it far less special and meaningful of a mantle if they're just handing out BP suits like candy.
NegativeNerd
NegativeNerd - 7/23/2021, 11:02 AM
@BlackBeltJones - I know Nakia was never the Panther in the comics, but I wouldn't be opposed to it. WHo do you think will get top billing among everyone returning?
GhostDog
GhostDog - 7/23/2021, 11:07 AM
@LongMayHeReign - I agree 100
LongMayHeReign
LongMayHeReign - 7/23/2021, 11:10 AM
@NegativeNerd - I always thought if they wern't gonna get Lupita as Storm that she should have been Shuri. She can definitely carry a film imo opinion and she looks the part.
NegativeNerd
NegativeNerd - 7/25/2021, 8:21 AM
@LongMayHeReign - To be honest, that's who I immediately thought she was going to be when it was rumored that she was being eyed for a role.

Kasper Cole route wouldn't be a bad idea since it is a mantle after all. With that being said, I'm really hoping we at least get a glimpse of Namor and Atlantis with this one.

So Hyped to Finally see Namor in the MCU


Grace Randolph is extremely upset that Marvel would have the gall to do Namor
after DC did Aqauaman

This woman is nuts
LongMayHeReign
LongMayHeReign - 7/23/2021, 11:07 AM
@WakandaTech - She also had the nerve to tell Black Panther fans to accept that Marvel won't recast T'Challa and that we should just get over it. Meanwhile she was a top leader among the #ReleastheSnyderCut movement and actively told people to not stop tweeting about it.

She is indeed nuts and a hypocrite who supports anything that panders to an "under served" group to make herself look better.
NegativeNerd
NegativeNerd - 7/25/2021, 8:23 AM
@WakandaTech - Grace...I have an interesting relationship with her. I'm a fan, but sometimes her arguments don't hit for me. Like the whole Namor/Aquaman thing you brought up. Like...what the hell? DC and Marvel always had similar heroes to one another. What are they suppose to do? Just never use Namor just because DC used Aquaman first?

"He took me through the film, but incorporating my character's beats. And some of it was really very odd"
I hope they don't make Everett Ross a racist!

I genuinely respect wanting to honor Chad by not replacing him. That move shows that Marvel cares quite a lot

Because rationally they probably should've just recasted

If this is after the whole multiverse thing couldn't they just bring killmonger from a universe where he actually became the black panther and then ends up staying in the main timeliness? Seems like a good way to bring him back without trying to undue an uncertain death.

@Jwreck - Whatever the plot point/flex I'd love to see Killmonger as BP. He has a similar energy to Chadwick and they've already established him in the MCU.

@Jwreck - you're on the best track there. Have Kang do it. He's supposed to start popping up in these movies- have him view T'Challa as a threat or something and BAM Multiverse shenanigans leave us with Kilmonger Panther.
NegativeNerd
NegativeNerd - 7/25/2021, 8:24 AM
@Jwreck - Seems that they may be doing this for the 'What If?' series, at least.

Here's what i would do:

The Black Panther is K.I.A. saving thousands of lives from a freak natural disaster.

Shuri & the other Wakandans find out that it has been caused by Atlantis and Wakanda retaliates.

Eric Killmonger takes on the mantle of the Black Panther after waking up alive and hearing about the death of T'Challa, inspired by him giving his live to save his people.
He is still xenophobic, but clearly growing into the hero role.
Eventually Wakanda and Atlantis find out that there is more to the events and that they have been manipulated into going to war.

That's when it turns out that Everett K. Ross was behind everything and that he was brainwashed and mind-controlled by an unknown force.

After credit-scene: A green-caped figure is seen from behind, watching everything on some computer screens raising a gold goblet in a gray metal gauntleted hand.

I'm surprised Wilding hasn't suggested that Mephisto is the series' "Big Bad." Like he does with most every other Marvel production now.
