'Black Panther 2' Recast T'Challa Petition is Nearing 50,000 Signatures

Despite Marvel Studios’ reassurance that they will not be recasting T’Challa after the death of Chadwick Boseman, some fans feel the decision is disrespectful to the character to cut his story short in the MCU. A petition on Change.org is calling for the studio to recast the role of T’Challa and at the time of writing is less than 750 signatures away from the 50,000 mark! Petition creator E-Man’s Movie Reviews stated:

“In August of 2020, the world mourned the death of Chadwick Boseman. To many, he was known for his on-screen role of Black Panther in the Marvel Universe. While his character of T’Challa was adored by fans, there have been rumors that Marvel will kill off his character in the new movie and for good.“

“This is a call for the President of Marvel Studios Kevin Feige, Co-President Louis D’Esposito, and Writer/Director Ryan Coogler to reconsider their decision, and recast the role of “T’Challa” in the Black Panther franchise. If Marvel Studios removes T’Challa, it would be at the expense of the audiences (especially Black boys and men) who saw themselves in him. That also includes the millions of fans who were inspired by the character as well.” they continued, “By not recasting, it could stifle the opportunity for one of the most popular, leading Black superheroes to add on to their legacy. The #1 way to kill a legend, is to stop telling their story.“
