  • Chadwick Boseman’s Black Panther Costume Missed 1 Key Element We’d Love To See When T’Challa Is Recast


    Marvel Studios has the perfect opportunity to finally bring a missing element from T’Challa’s costume into the MCU if the Black Panther is recast. T’Challa is one of Marvel’s most notable and important superheroes, which made him an instant favorite in the MCU when the late Chadwick Boseman brought T’Challa’s Black Panther to life in Captain America: Civil War. Boseman’s sudden passing in 2020 led to T’Challa being written out of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, however, leaving a huge void in the MCU.

    According to insider Jeff Sneider, Marvel Studios is “firmly open” to recasting T’Challa’s Black Panther in the MCU. This was avoided in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, as the sequel instead dealt directly with the cast, crew and audience’s grief of losing both Chadwick Boseman and T’Challa, but, now, the exploration of the multiverse means a new T’Challa can debut in the MCU. This new iteration could be vastly different from Boseman’s version, and could be even more comic-accurate than the MCU’s original Black Panther.

    Chadwick Boseman’s T’Challa Never Wore A Cape In The MCU

    Chadwick Boseman’s T’Challa Wasn’t Entirely Comic-Accurate

    While Chadwick Boseman did an incredible job at delivering a T’Challa full of likable qualities and a charismatic and vulnerable personality, not everything about his character stayed faithful to the Wakandan protector from Marvel Comics. Notably, Marvel Studios massively upgraded the Black Panther’s costume for the live-action MCU, making it far more modern and armored, and, crucially, removing the cape. T’Challa’s Black Panther sported a cape in his very first Marvel Comics appearance back in 1966’s Fantastic Four #52, but this hasn’t been a permanent addition.

    Many superheroes sported capes in Marvel Comics which were subsequently removed in the live-action MCU. While the likes of Thor and Vision retained updated versions of their classic comic looks, the Black Panther’s cape was permanently removed for the MCU, but recasting the iconic hero now presents the opportunity for it to be reintroduced. Debuting a variant of T’Challa’s Black Panther means Marvel can take some creative liberties with the new iteration, and kitting him out with a cape would be a great development.

    What Other Black Panther Costume Changes Could A Recast T’Challa Make?

    A New Black Panther Could Be Very Different

    A cape isn’t the only addition that Marvel Studios could make to the new Black Panther costume if T’Challa is recast in Avengers: Doomsday, Secret Wars or the MCU’s upcoming Black Panther 3. In fact, the Black Panther has sported many different costumes in Marvel Comics that could inspire the hero’s new suit in the MCU, most notably, the Black Panther’s iconic sleek bodysuit outfit that has perhaps already been glimpsed in Bashenga’s appearance in Black Panther. This is T’Challa’s most prominent costume in Marvel Comics, so would be great to see in the MCU.

    After Recent T’Challa Recasting Reports, I’m Worried About The Future Of The MCU’s New Black Panther

    While I would love to see T’Challa’s Black Panther recast in the MCU, these recent reports have me worried about the future of Letitia Wright’s Shuri.

    Alternatively, the MCU’s new Black Panther could sport a half-mask costume, don a cloak inspired by his 1800s look, be depicted as more of a cowboy or take on his heavy-duty Man Without Fear design. The latter saw T’Challa operate as the protector of Hell’s Kitchen in Daredevil’s absence, which could be a fun story to explore following the upcoming Daredevil: Born Again series. One thing’s for sure, recasting T’Challa’s Black Panther in the MCU creates some enormous and exciting opportunities for Marvel Studios.

      Black Panther is the eighteenth film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and sees the titular hero return after the events of Captain America: Civil War. Set in the fictional nation of Wakanda, Black Panther sees the succession of T’Challa as the nation’s new king. However, when a mysterious soldier with ill intentions arrives with proof of his claim to the throne, the future of Wakanda is thrown into jeopardy.

      Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is the sequel to the 2018 film Black Panther and is part of Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Gripping with the passing of their king, the nation of Wakanda attempts to figure out how to move forward with Queen Mother Ramonda (Angela Bassett) and Princess Shuri (Letitia Wright) at the helm. However, a nation in grieving is not observed by all, as soon Wakanda comes under attack by the underwater civilization of Talocan, led by Namor (Tenoch Huerta.) Wakanda will enlist allies outside and from within to push back this new invading threat and ensure that Wakanda truly does live on forever.

    Upcoming MCU Movies



    Chadwick Boseman’s portrayal of T’Challa in Black Panther was iconic, and his costume was a key element in bringing the character to life. However, there was one key element missing from the costume that we would love to see when T’Challa is recast in future films.

    That missing element is the inclusion of the Black Panther’s cape. In the comics, T’Challa is often depicted wearing a sleek black cape that not only adds a regal flair to his appearance but also serves as a practical tool in battle. The cape is made of vibranium, the same material as T’Challa’s suit, and can be used for protection, stealth, and even as a weapon.

    While the absence of the cape in Boseman’s costume was a stylistic choice that helped to modernize the character for the big screen, we believe that incorporating it into future iterations of the Black Panther would be a fitting tribute to the comic book origins of the character.

    The cape could be designed in a way that is both functional and visually striking, adding an extra layer of depth to T’Challa’s character and making him even more formidable in battle. Plus, seeing T’Challa don the cape for the first time in a future film would be a powerful moment that pays homage to the legacy of Chadwick Boseman while also propelling the character forward into new and exciting adventures.

    In conclusion, while Boseman’s Black Panther costume was undeniably amazing, we can’t help but hope that the next actor to take on the role will have the opportunity to wear the Black Panther’s iconic cape and continue to honor the character’s rich history in the Marvel universe.

  • Damson Idris Reponds To Rumor That He Turned Down Marvel’s Offer To Play New T’Challa


    As expected, the recent report that Marvel Studios’ is currently searching for an actor to take over from the late Chadwick Boseman as a new take on T’Challa in the MCU has led to several names being churned out by the rumor mill.

    Damson Idris, the up-and-coming British Snowfall star who was reportedly up for the role of John Stewart in Lanterns prior to Aaron Pierre landing the gig, was said to be one of the actors who passed on the opportunity to play T’Challa, and was asked about the rumor on social media.

    Idris jokingly responded (though not everyone picked up on the sarcasm) that he also “turned down 007, A co-lead film with Daniel Day Lewis and an Eddie Murphy biopic.”


    Pierre is also said to have been approached for this part, and we’ve heard that he was the actor who passed that was mentioned in the original report. If true, it could have been due to his Lanterns commitments, but that may not be the only factor.

    Although the initial rumor suggested that Kevin Feige and co. were searching for a new actor to play a variant of the same character Boseman portrayed, it seems more likely that the studio is actually in the process of casting an actor for the role of the original T’Challa’s son (Toussaint, aka Prince T’Challa), who was introduced at the end of Wakanda Forever.

    Whatever the case may be, it appears quite a few actors believe that accepting the role would be akin to replacing Boseman, and either feel it would be disrespectful to the beloved actor, or simply don’t want the responsibility of filling those particular shoes.

    Whoever ends up accepting the role, the new T’Challa is expected to debut in one of the upcoming Avengers movies before going on to play a bigger part in Black Panther 3.

    During a 2022 interview with the New York Times, director Ryan Coogler admitted that he’d be glad to stay on this franchise for “as long as folks will have me.”

    “I feel blessed that I have the opportunity to work on these movies, bro. When I got asked to do the first one, it was like a moving train. I thank God every day that I was able to jump on it and meet these people, these actors, and to meet Chadwick during some of the last years of his life. I’ll do it as long as folks will have me. But I think it’s bigger than just me or Joe. Between the first and second movie, we made $2 billion at the box office, which is what matters the most to corporations. So I hope that it continues, man. I hope people are still making movies about Wakanda long after we’re gone.” 

    Who would you like to see suit-up as the MCU’s new Black Panther?

    In Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Queen Ramonda (Angela Bassett), Shuri (Letitia Wright), M’Baku (Winston Duke), Okoye (Danai Gurira), and the Dora Milaje (including Florence Kasumba), fight to protect their nation from intervening world powers in the wake of King T’Challa’s death. As the Wakandans strive to embrace their next chapter, the heroes must band together with the help of War Dog Nakia (Lupita Nyong’o) and Everett Ross (Martin Freeman) and forge a new path for the kingdom of Wakanda. Introducing Tenoch Huerta as Namor, king of a hidden undersea nation, the film also stars Dominique Thorne, Michaela Coel, Mabel Cadena, and Alex Livanalli.





    British actor Damson Idris recently found himself at the center of a major rumor circulating in Hollywood circles. Reports suggested that Idris had turned down an offer from Marvel Studios to play the new T’Challa in the upcoming “Black Panther” sequel.

    However, Idris took to social media to set the record straight and address the rumors head-on. In a heartfelt post, he clarified that he had never been approached by Marvel for the role and that the rumors were completely false.

    Idris expressed his admiration for the character of T’Challa and the legacy left behind by the late Chadwick Boseman. He emphasized his respect for Boseman’s portrayal and stated that he would never seek to replace him in the iconic role.

    Despite the rumors, Idris remains focused on his career and expressed his gratitude for the support of his fans. He assured everyone that he is excited about the future of the “Black Panther” franchise and hopes to see it continue to honor Boseman’s legacy in a meaningful way.

    In conclusion, Damson Idris’s response to the rumor serves as a reminder of the importance of accuracy in reporting and the respect that should be shown to both actors and the characters they portray. Fans can rest assured that Idris remains committed to his craft and looks forward to the future of his career in Hollywood.

  • Marvel Is Rumored To Be Introducing A New T’Challa, And Now There’s Word On When This Black Panther Will Debut

    When Chadwick Boseman died in 2020 at the age of 43, Marvel Studios decided not to recast the role of T’Challa, and instead had Leitita Wright’s Shuri inherit the Black Panther mantle in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, the 30th of the Marvel movies in order. However, not only did we learn in Wakanda Forever’s end-credits scene that the late superhero’s son, Toussaint, also has the Wakandan name T’Challa, it was also rumored earlier this month that casting is underway to find someone to play a different version of an adult T’Challa. While this has yet to be officially confirmed, there’s now word on when this particular Black Panther will debut.

    If scooper @MyTimeToShineHello (via ComicBookMovie) is to be believed, the plan is to feature the new T’Challa in the upcoming Marvel movies Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, then have him take center stage for Black Panther 3, which Denzel Washington will appear in. With both those movies being capstones to The Multiverse Saga that’s been running since 2021, it stands to reason that this T’Challa will hail from another corner of the Marvel multiverse. What hasn’t been clarified is if this will be a fully-grown take on Toussaint or a variant of the T’Challa Chadwick Boseman played, though my money’s on the latter.

    Whomever it ends up being, this echo how Chadwick Boseman debuted as T’Challa in Captain America: Civil War, then starred in Black Panther two years later. Assuming all this is accurate, Marvel Studios wants to follow suit by having Doomsday and Secret Wars serve as an appetizer of sorts for this new T’Challa to show off his stuff. Then once the threat of the Robert Downey Jr.-portrayed Doctor Doom and the villains allied with him as been vanquished, Phase 7 launches the next saga, and Black Panther 3 will be part of that slate. Now I wonder if this T’Challa would be active in the main MCU reality or operating in a different universe in the threequel, though the answer to that question should become clearer once Secret Wars is out.

    The scooper also shared in an earlier post that John David Washington, Kelvin Harrison Jr. and Aaron Pierre are being looked at to play the new T’Challa. Take that with an especially big grain of salt for now, especially with Pierre, as he’s going to be busy playing John Stewart in the upcoming DC TV show Lanterns. The only concern I have about this recasting, assuming it’s true, is that I worry this will result in Shuri being sidelined, which I don’t want to happen. She’s the current Black Panther and she should be able to hold onto that mantle for longer than just the latter half of Wakanda Forever.

    Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars respectively come out on May 1, 2026 and May 7, 2027, though ideally we’ll get an official confirmation or denial of a new Black Panther appearing in either movie sometime later this year. For now, stream all of the MCU’s Black Panther-related content with a Disney+ subscription.



    It has been rumored for some time now that Marvel Studios will be introducing a new T’Challa in the upcoming Black Panther sequel. And now, new details have emerged about when fans can expect to see this new iteration of the iconic character.

    According to sources, the new T’Challa will make his debut in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, which is set to be released on November 11, 2022. This news has sparked speculation and excitement among fans, who are eager to see how the character will be portrayed in the wake of Chadwick Boseman’s passing.

    While details about the new T’Challa remain scarce, it is clear that Marvel is dedicated to honoring Boseman’s legacy while also moving the character forward in a new direction. With the release of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever just around the corner, fans won’t have to wait long to see how this new chapter in the Black Panther saga unfolds. Stay tuned for more updates as they become available!
