This is who fans want to replace Chadwick Boseman as the Black Panther - BGR

Boseman is T’Challa, and his Black Panther should be honored by not giving the part to a different actor, even if Boseman’s passing causes issues for Marvel’s plans.

Another option is to have Black Panther die right at the beginning of the sequel, during some action scene.

As we already know, T’Challa is quite a skilled Black Panther and a formidable adversary.

By having Black Panther die in a post-credits scene closer to the release of the sequel, Marvel could both honor Boseman’s epic representation of T’Challa and advance the story forward.

Boseman’s regular stunt double could handle the Black Panther action, and we wouldn’t even have to see T’Challa’s face or hear any dialogue.

It would be a heartbreaking moment that audiences wouldn’t necessarily expect and offer them a chance to say goodbye to Boseman’s T’Challa before the Black Panther 2 premiere.

Speculation aside, Marvel has plenty of time and imagination to figure out a way to honor Boseman’s T’Challa and move Black Panther forward.

Others have started online petitions asking Marvel not to recast T’Challa, and instead turn Shuri into Black Panther for the sequel:.

Shuri should take up the mantle of Black Panther, as she has done in the comics
