Fans of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever want T’Challa to be recast

The Black Panther: Wakanda Forever film was released in theatres worldwide over the weekend and was a box office success.

However, die-hard comic fans took to Twitter and trended the #RecastTChalla hashtag.

According to the fans, the absence of the main character in the film created a gap in the plot.

Chadwick Boseman, who died of cancer two years ago, played the superhero Black Panther in the Marvel Universe. Fans were outraged that Boseman’s real-life untimely death was woven into the plot of the sequel film.

Fans argued that the comic-book franchise was bigger than the actors’ personal lives and that the story’s integrity should be persevered.

Some tweeps mentioned in the heated trending debate that Boseman did such a great job playing T’Challa that a new actor taking over from him would be jarring to viewers.

I know a lot of people wanted to #RecastTChalla but I think Ryan Coogler did and excellent job on respecting Chadwick legacy , and of course you can feel his presence missing on the movie pic.twitter.com/soSGGyPVcK

Can a bitch grieve the loss of Chadwick Boseman and his perfect portrayal of T'Challa and let his body get cold before you #RecastTChalla , damn y'all are cold-hearted. I'm happy to finally get a black woman as the Black Panther for a while. Forever, ever. #BlackPanther pic.twitter.com/y55yi0tfOc

It is so sad to me that TChalla the legendary character can't be recast but the Joker can be played by all of these great actors and I applaud DC & Warner Bros chooses to keep the legendary character of The Joker. #RecastTChalla pic.twitter.com/Mi39gtT1Yg

This tragedy didn’t stop them from recasting Superman, nor did they make Clark Kent a quadriplegic in the movies. These are fictional characters who will outlive all of us. #RecastTChalla pic.twitter.com/GB3KlCpQu3

#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 off our emotions, because for some of us going to see the movie is also an opportunity for us to grieve. pic.twitter.com/kjmxTzGNQ5
