This is incredibly sad.
Last night I could not stop thinking about how he was pushing through STAGE 4 COLON CANCER to make his last set of movies and the doors that opened up to get Hollywood to realize that yes, this is what people want. Then I read this excerpt from an interview where he talked about the thought put into his character's accent and may have cried a little bit.
If nothing else I imagine Ryan Coogler would oppose recasting.
Wakanda is the MCU's strongest setting by far, and Black Panther went out of its way to give multiple characters the spotlight, so I don't think they'll have trouble anchoring a movie without T'Challa. They... they have to realize the torch should pass to Shuri, right?
It looks like they finished filming Ma Rainey's Black Bottom already, so I guess now it will be his last ever movie. It's an adaptation of one of August Wilson's Pittsburg Cycle plays (the same play cycle the movie Fences also came from) that also features Viola Davis.
