Those rumors of Marvel Studios re-casting the part of T’Challa in the Marvel Cinematic Universe appear to have been greatly exaggerated. The rumor popped up last month and stated that Marvel is reportedly looking to replace Chadwick Boseman as T’Challa for future Black Panther appearances. Naturally, fans have reacted both positively and negatively to the report, with some even wanting T’Challa’s son to be the new Black Panther. For now, the topic appears to be off the table according to someone inside the halls of Marvel Studios.
ComicBook spoke to Nate Moore, the VP of Production & Development at Marvel Studios, in support of Captain America: Brave New World. When asked about the rumors of finding a new T’Challa to play Black Panther, Moore shot them down. “The truth is, there’s no truth to those rumors. Never say never to anything, we haven’t really had a lot of creative conversations with Ryan Coogler yet, because he’s finishing his film Sinners, which comes out this year,” Moore said. “We’ll get into it later this year, but everything you read online is not true, if for no other reason than we just haven’t started [working on it].”
Moore also teased how Captain America: Brave New World can help set up Black Panther 3.
“I’m sure Wakanda will have an opinion about the arrival of Adamantium. And I’m sure Wakanda had an opinion on Sam Wilson as Captain America,” he said. “Clearly, they seem to support him, as they’ve given him some technology to help him out. But Wakanda isn’t in the best graces with the U.S. government, so there’s a possibility for conflict in a lot of different ways. I think Wakanda, to me, gets to play in the same political thriller sandbox as Captain America because it does deal with globalization and global politics, so anything is possible.”
