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,

This last week has been pretty full of Black Panther news. First we heard that Marvel was looking to recast the role of King T’Challa in the MCU, which fans assumed would happen ahead of Black Panther 3 .

According to a new rumour, Marvel Studios has considered/is considering at least three actors for the role of T'Challa (likely Toussaint) in the MCU, and we have names! You can find more details

MCU is casting for Prince T'Challa, Black Panther's son, instead of replacing Chadwick Boseman. Rumored actors like Boyega, Idris, and Oyelowo turned down the role of Prince T'Challa. Boyega was likely considered as Marvel's first choice but declined to avoid stepping in for Boseman.

Marvel Studios is already thinking about Chadwick Boseman's successor as 'Black Panther': these are the first three candidates.

Marvel Studios may be looking for a new actor to play T’Challa’s son in future movies according to a new rumor. T’Challa’s son was introduced in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the second Black Panther movie in 2022.
