After the tragic death of Chadwick boseman last year, can you imagine anyone else playing the role of T’Challa in possible suites of Black panther ? While this is impossible for many MCU fans, others would just love to see the character return, even if it means casting a new actor in the role. A social media campaign calling for a possible reboot of the character has gained enough momentum that the hashtag #RecastTChalla becomes a trend on Twitter. A petition has also been launched on Change.org asking for a hero overhaul.
” #RecastTChalla is not a call to replace Chadwick Boseman“, We read in the description of the petition. ” Nor is it a call for immediate replacement. It is also not a call for the prevention of other characters to take over the mantle of Black Panther like Shuri or anyone else. This petition simply asks for the continued representation of T’Challa in the MCU. #RecastTChalla is a call to fill the role that Chadwick Boseman worked so hard for the whole world to see it. “

“As the first black superhero in mainstream comics and the MCU, T’Challa is literally an integral part of black history. It was created in 1966, during the era of civil rights, to be the embodiment of the positive representation of blacks, ”the petition continues. ” Her character has also helped elevate black female characters such as Storm, the Dora Milaje, and her own sister Shuri. There is no more positive form of representation in black culture than strong black men and women who support each other. T’Challa’s character has only scratched the surface with his story in the MCU, and there is still so much to tell. “
Ryan coogler comes back to realize Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. This suite brings back Letitia Wright, Lupita Nyong’o, Danai Gurira, Winston Duke, Angela Bassett and Martin Freeman. The theatrical release is scheduled for November 9, 2022.
#Chadwickboseman was a great actor and human being, but the role of Black Panther is more important than him to many fans of the character and needs to be revamped. It’s selfish to reserve this role for one man and it limits the #MCU. #RecastTchalla https://t.co/AM3o4G9GHU
