T’Challa revamp
T’Challa’s death was mishandled in Wakanda Forever, according to several fans.
The MCU shouldn’t use Chadwick Baseman’s death as a plot point, a Twitter user said under the hashtag #RecastT’Challa. Appealing to our emotions is an effective marketing strategy. The MCU makes money off of our feelings because, for some of us, watching the movie also gives us a chance to grieve.
Likewise, another Twitter user wrote, The Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Black Panther will be the first superhero to die more than once and make an impact. It’s humiliating to me as a black man. Black Panther, Infinity War, and Wakanda Forever are all half done. downright insulting.
Another fan pointed to Chadwick Boseman’s family interviews, saying, “Several Boseman family members have commented that Chadwick would have wanted to #RecastTChalla.” Additionally, Chadwick has stated in interviews that he is honored to have a reputation similar to James Bond, which is frequently revamped. Even if you disagree, the truth is still the truth.

Despite being only six years old, T’Challa has now appeared in the MCU. He is the child of a deceased king and a Wakandan hero.
