PANIC AS FANS DEMAND DISNEY RECAST T'CHALLA! #RecastTChalla Trending on Twitter!

Unhappy Marvel Fans Reject Black Panther 2 Plot, Make 'Recast T'Challa' Trend on Opening Weekend

The "Recast T'Challa" movement to replace the late Chadwick Boseman as Black Panther has emerged again after the release of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

Rewind to August 2020, amid the existing struggles of the pandemic, Marvel Studios was placed in its toughest position yet following the tragic passing of Chadwick Boseman. This left fans divided between recasting the actor, replacing T'Challa in the mantle, or ending the Wakandan franchise altogether.

Obviously, Marvel Studios opted to continue the Black Panther franchise without Boseman, with Wakanda Forever now serving as a tribute to the actor's legacy. Part of this process involved passing on the torch of protecting Wakanda to another, which has long been speculated to be Letitia Wright's Shuri.

Now, after the long-awaited opening weekend of Wakanda Forever, the new status quo of the mantle has been revealed. Boseman's T'Challa has tragically died of illness while his sister Shuri has assumed the mantle of Black Panther while Winston Duke's M'Baku takes on the throne.

But that's not quite the entire picture as T'Challa was revealed to have had a son, given the Wakandan name of Prince T'Challa, with Lupita Nyong'o's Nakia. This handling of a difficult situation has led to glowing reactions from most fans, but not everyone is quite happy with Marvel Studios' choices.

This has led to resistance from supporters of the "Recast T'Challa" movement as the topic has trended on Twitter through November 12 over the opening weekend, implying some fans aren't happy with how Wakanda Forever's plot handled T'Challa's death.

@bronzestruggler questioned the logic behind T'Challa's death, noting the lack of proper explanation for how a man with so many superpowers died:

"Explain to me why a n***a with super strength, speed, durability, sense, and resistance to disease...born in the most technological advance nation in the world...dies? The movie didn't explain it. #SaveTChalla #RecastTChalla."

@justkiira suggested Marvel Studios may be financially benefiting from Chadwick Boseman's passing by using the movie as "an opportunity for [fans] to grieve:"

"#RecastTChalla The MCU should not use the passing of Chadwick Baseman as a plot. A good marketing tactic is to relate to our emotions. The MCU is benefiting financially from our emotions because for some of us going to see the movie is also an opportunity for us to grieve."

The user included an explanation of their take on the "Recast T'Challa" movement, calling for the studio not to use Boseman's death as "a plot device in their fictional storytelling:"

"#RecastT'Challa is NOT calling for an immediate recast.

#RecastT'Challa is NOT preventing anyone else from taking up the mantle of Black Panther.

#RecastT'Challa is asking Marvel Studios NOT to use the tragic passing of Chadwick Boseman as a plot device in their fictional storytelling.

#RecastT'Challa is asking for the portrayal of T'Challa to be allowed to continue in the MCU."

@KjStarwalker shared their frustration that one of the few Black superheroes was killed after only one solo outing in the MCU:

"Batman= immortal character

Superman= immortal character

Spiderman= immortal character

We had one black male superhero...and yall killed him after one movie... Nah son...Wakanda not forever.. #RecastTChalla."

The same user called out their anger at using t'Challa as "a tribute...a mere footnote...irrelevant:"

"MCU said...even in our dreams...even in our fantasies...black men cant change our narratives...we cant prevail...we can't be immortalized....we're a tribute...a mere footnote...irrelevant... #WakandaForever #RecastTChalla."
