As you most likely know, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever will fully lean into the fact that the actor who played the Panther in the first movie, Chadwick Boseman, is no longer with us. But back when the news of Boseman’s death first hit, no one knew how Marvel would handle it, and a lot of fans were hoping T’Challa would be recast. There was never a consideration to do so, but if there had been, there was a script ready to go. Ryan Coogler, the writer and director behind both the original Black Panther and its sequel, revealed to THR that he’d already written the script for Black Panther 2 prior to Baseman’s passing, and had to completely rewrite it afterward. “The script we wrote before Chadwick passed was very much rooted in T’Challa’s perspective,” he said. “It was a massive movie but also simultaneously a character study that delved deeply into his psyche and situation.” What Coogler doesn’t say is what KIND of situation.

#SaveTChalla is a new social media trend that becomes a follow up to the #RecastTchalla movement. #RecastBlackPanther is also getting some traction.

The excuse of people against recasting is that other characters used the Black Panther mantle.

#RecastTchalla is currently dividing the netizens online. Some fans started the campaign #RecastTchalla because they want the legacy of the character to continue. Recasting characters had been around for centuries. I mean look at how many actors had played James Bond throughout the years. Some of the Bond actors already passed away too but the recastings never deleted their legacy. Fans of T’Challa wanted his story to continue instead of him just passing the mantle. Other characters used the mantle of Black Panther in Marvel Comics. Some fans are opposed to #RecastTchalla. They are against it because they see Chadwick Boseman as irreplaceable. People who are pushing this campaign also have a reasonable rebuttal. Heath Ledger has an award-winning performance as Joker. People also said he was irreplaceable after his death. Joaquin Phoenix’s portrayal of Joker also received a lot of awards. Even if an actor passes away, a character can still be recast. Also recasting the character will never delete the legacy of the previous ones as their version will
