Marvel’s decision to keep T’Challa’s legacy intact feels like the right call, but it’s definitely going to be a challenge to balance Wakanda’s future without him. I’m curious to see how they’ll expand the world of Black Panther while still paying homage to Boseman’s unforgettable impact.

It’s refreshing to see Marvel sticking to their decision to honor Chadwick Boseman’s legacy by not recasting T’Challa, but it’ll be interesting to see how they navigate the future of Wakanda without him. Hopefully, Ryan Coogler’s vision continues to bring depth and respect to the story, even as the MCU evolves.
