poo poo, this really sucks.Dan Didio posted:It's almost impossible they didn't know. You're talking about invasive surgery followed by month-long periods of chemotherapy in this instance. Not to mention the legal issues involved with having someone in that condition work on an action film. I'd imagine most of the cast and crew knew. Along those lines, it kinda seemed like they were really dragging their feet on scheduling Black Panther 2. It didn't make sense given the cultural and commercial success of the first one, but it does if they were trying to buy time for him recover.

Made my post in the wrong thread last night: New Mutants wasn’t terrible. Was definitely going for the YA market, so, I guess we’ll see what they think about it. I thought Magik was the standout, and Lockheed is in the movie Found out about Boseman during the credits, waiting for the second feature at the drive in, which was Black Panther of course.

My gut feeling is that Marvel Studios and Coogler won't recast T'Challa, they'll just do a movie centered on Shuri and the supporting characters from the first film. could be totally wrong though. re: New Mutants, I still want to see it at some point, but it seems like the story of its production and delays are more interesting than the film itself. basically, the short version seems to be this: Fox execs hated the original cut of the film and ordered a major delay with the intent of doing extensive reshoots, but everything at Fox was in chaos during the 15 months between the announcement of the Disney acquisition and its finalization, so they kept waffling on committing more time and money to the film, leading to further delays, and by the time the merger was finalized and Boone et al. had the green light and cast availability to do reshoots, it had been close to two years since principal photography wrapped and too much of the cast had aged too noticeably for reshoots to be viable. so what's in theaters now is basically identical to what would have been released in April 2018 had the delays not happened and all this was pointless lol

This is also going to really piss me off more when someone goes "actually Black Panther is just a psyop to make the CIA look good and faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaart".

I really doubt that will happen. I expect Black Panther 2 is going to have a real weight to it in dealing with Boseman's death. It should 100% be about Shuri having to cope with the loss of T'Challa while stepping into the mantle of Black Panther.

I dunno, the Paul Walker stuff in F7 looked so bad and awkward that I couldn’t help but laugh. Between that and how Carrie Fisher got shafted in TRoS, I’d rather they just deal with Chadwick’s death offscreen somehow and start the movie afterward with Shuri or whoever having to deal with taking up the mantle and not having him around for guidance anymore.

I hope they recast him because every alternate suggestion sounds dumb. Add a tribute to Boseman at the beginning or the end and just have a little faith in your audience to grasp that a new guy is Black Panther now.

Arist posted:They'll do Digital Boseman, but it'll be in the Ancestral Plane when Shuri sees him after becoming the new Black Panther and we'll all cry like at the end of Furious 7 The movie writes itself with opening on T'Challa's funeral, prompting Shuri to take up the mantle, relying on her tech skills to bypass the lack of spirit flower. She teams up with M'Baku and a globe-trekking search for another garden ensues. She hits her low point with failing tech and receives a vision with the Ancestors showing her that the flower was just a means to forge a connection with the spiritual world and instead she mainlines Bast. Then M'baku is elected to rule and Wakanda gets rid of the ruling monarchy.

I think that they will recast, and I hope that they do as well. Boseman is irreplacable and eventually of course I would like to see Shuri take the mantle, but for now T'Challa's story is also honestly very important to a lot of people and I don't like the idea of just putting such a character back on the shelf offscreen and being like "Well that's done now."

I don't think they can recast. It would be too much of a mess of emotion. It sucks but losing a character is such a trivial and lame thing to be upset about when a young man is dead. I'm not gonna mourn for T'challa over Boseman. And recasting would feel like saying the character was more important. The fact that the natural alternative is to elevate a black woman just makes resisting that and forcing in a replacement all the more awkward. Honestly, I just feel loving dirty thinking about it or feeling sad about some silly movie series being affected.

There are thousands and tens of thousands of small children and young people out there who were deeply inspired by the heroic Black Panther and were looking to see him fight on. I personally don't believe it's any more disrespectful to Boseman's legacy to have this character -- his character -- survive him to go on and accomplish more. Right now is, of course, not the right time to be making any decisions about that; everyone is feeling sad and dispirited and raw. But I put forth the bitter truth that the character of Black Panther has been around before Boseman and will be around after as well, just like Superman was around before Christopher Reeve, just like there will someday be another Iron Man or Captain America after Downey and Evans.

They will absolutely recast T'Challa and that's exactly what they should do. The character is bigger than one actor, as sublime as he was, and there's a lot of value (and frankly money) in the character's stories to come. There will be a lot of time to mourn and process before they recast, the industry is still substantially shut down which gives them even more time to be thoughtful and deliberate about it. I certainly don't envy the actor who has to follow those footsteps but someone will have to and should do it.

If you told me they wanted to make Lupita Nyong'o the new Black Panther I wouldn't have a single problem with that. It feels like we're like 10 years away tops from having to reset the entire universe because everyone is too old, so I don't feel like losing T'Challa is fundamentally any worse than the great characters who haven't been around. And I half suspect that Loki, WandaVision, and Doctor Strange are gonna be all about introducing the Multiverse exactly so they can get around this and introduce alternative versions of characters so like, by Black Panther 3 we could meet an alternate T'Challa married to Storm or something. But again, this all feels like a really dirty concern right now. Not that I'm pointing fingers at anyone but myself.

I'm surprised to see so many here argue for recasting. Most opinions on twitter seem to be saying the opposite, that it'd be disrespectful to recast. Personally I agree that they should just cast someone else. Just having him die offscreen seems kind of silly Retro Futurist posted:If they recast him, I feel really bad for whoever gets that role. Everyone is going to dislike them at first, it's a no win They'll hate him right until the movie starts, that's how these things usually go.

In addition to his performance being middling, apparently he was a nightmare to work with and his weird Terryology thing makes me think that’s almost certainly true. That’s some Timecube poo poo right there.

If they do want to get crazy with the multiverse and recast, have Michael B. Jordan come in as a T'Challa from another universe. But I still think making Shuri the next Black Panther is the best idea. Eventually you can recast T'Challa, but I think the next film would be too soon for that.
