Chadwick Boseman: Fans are demanding that Black Panther not be re-cast

According to many Marvel fans, the role of the superhero Black Panther should not be re-cast after the death of Chadwick Boseman.

Chadwick Boseman (1976-2020) became a megastar with the Marvel superhero film "Black Panther" (2018). After the surprising death of the actor, who had kept colon cancer a secret from the public for several years, fans are now calling not to cast the role of Black Panther again.

"Chadwick Boseman is irreplaceable as a Black Panther", explains a Twitter user. He hopes, "Marvel doesn't re-cast the role and respect its work with the character." Boseman was just as strong in real life as the superhero. "Don't fill the role again, Marvel Studios. It's over," another user agrees.

Cameos like Stan Lee?

Also write other usersthat Boseman cannot be replaced. A Twitter user even requeststhat Boseman should get the "Stan Lee treatment". Lee, who died in 2018, is the co-father of countless popular superheroes such as Thor, Iron Man and Spider-Man. The comic strip writer is also known for his many cameos – even after his death – in the Marvel films.

So far there is no official information about what the future of the character Black Panther will look like. "Our hearts are broken and our thoughts are with Chadwick Boseman's family. Your legacy will live on forever," read the news after the actor's death became known in an official Marvel tweet. It is also not certain how exactly the sequel to "Black Panther", which is actually planned for 2022 and does not yet have an official title, will continue.
