A new rumor is sparking speculation and conversation among Marvel fans, hinting that Marvel Studios may be focusing on recasting T’Challa’s son, rather than T’Challa himself, for future films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Hollywood insider Jeff Sneider has suggested that Marvel is "firmly open" to recasting T'Challa/Black Panther - five years on from the death of original actor Chadwick Boseman.

After years of speculation, Marvel is supposedly ready to recast T'Challa in time for Black Panther to appear in Avengers: Doomsday.

A new rumor has emerged claiming that Marvel Studios may be planning to recast T'Challa, aka Black Panther, ahead of Avengers: Doomsday and Black Panther 3 . Five years after Boseman’s death, Marvel may be ready to bring a new take on T'Challa into the fold.

Marvel Studios is reportedly “firmly open” to recasting T’Challa/Black Panther in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The role was initially played by the late Chadwick Boseman, who debuted in 2016’s Captain America: Civil War before starring in his own movie Black Panther two years later,

When Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman tragically passed away in 2020, Marvel Studios said it would not recast the character. But just over four years later, executives have seemingly had a change of heart.
