While I respect them sticking to theme, it would be DOPE to see a lot of classic black actors pop up in this, even as background actors just for a chance to get their faces in front of millions and remind folks that yes, they too made good films back in the day.

Sorry MCU haters, Love and Thunder hasn't dampened MCU fans interest in the franchise.

MCU lovers don’t understand this shit is for kids and teenagers, those never go out of style. Young bucks see all sort of trash and think it’s top shelf, it’s the benefit of being young and ignorant.

Chadwick actually trained to do his fight scenes and he had prior martial arts training...

Man there really be some crazy people out there saying this will be the highest grossing Phase 4 MCU movie. What are they smoking? Spider-Man NWH made 1.9 billion. Nothing is topping that anytime soon let alone a Black Panther movie. The first one didn't even break 1 billion.

Bruh, if you’re counting the entire international box office (since No Way Home made that much altogether), Black Panther 1 made 1.35 billion dollars. Now I’m not saying BP 2 is guaranteed to surpass NWH’s box office, but it would be incredibly foolish to think it’s not possible.

Didn't break 1 billion? Are you sure? Or is that your Marvel bias talking? LMBO!

Did you think Spider Man made 1.9 billion in the states? FYI The Force Awakens is still the highest grossing movie of all time in the United States at over 900 Million but no movie has ever crossed a billion dollars without the both domestic and international box office number combined.
It may also surprise you that the first Black Panther movie was the 3rd highest movie of all time in the United States not just MCU stuff.

Disney animated movies aren’t just for kids either. Get a clue.

Where did I say the states? You and others need to learn how to read and not put words in other's mouths. I just said Spider-Man NWH made 1.9 billion. Nowhere did I say in the US. My point stands that Black Panther has 0% chance of topping it. No Marvel movie is going to have a shot at topping it until maybe the next Avengers or Fantastic Four.
Btw Black Panther is 5th all time in the US not third.

You did get Black Panther’s BO wrong in your prior post though.

Sure but still FAR off from No Way Home and this second one isn't going to top it either. Watch and see. I won't be surprised if it doesn't even do as well as the first Black Panther.

I did read.
You said Black Panther didn't even make a billion so the only way that is accurate is if you are only counting the US and since you said 1.9 billion for NWH, it's worldwide total, we have a discrepancy that needs clarity. 1.3 vs 1.9 is pretty far apart to be fair but there is no need to diminish the absolute monster numbers that first Black Panther movie put out.
Yes you are right about BP being 5th all time, I was talking about during it's original run and how you can extrapolate how successful a sequel could be based on history.

Hope Disney take note from the comics and male Wakanda less problematic.
Thirst is real.
Bold prediction. BP2 will not just be the highest grossing Marvel movie, but will also be the highest grossing movie of all time.
Second, I also think this will be the first Marvel film to win an Oscar. First one was nominated. This will win at least one.
Could be a classic for the ages.

I assume you mean MCU specifically as Spider-man: Into the Spider-verse did win Best Picture of 2018.

Considering inflation it will most likely pass the first film.
I do think the odds favor Spidey being higher in the end, but I am not betting either way. Don’t be too confident. You’re acting like you have a straight flush, but I’d say you’re holding more like 3 Jacks. Damn good hand, but it can be beaten.

Yeah, I mean MCU.
Although Soider-verse won best animated picture, not best picture overall.
Seriously, this film has the potential to be an all time, life changing classic. Get hyped

I've read all the leaks and based on them, I'm not really interested nor care for the plot of the movie or any of its characters, sounds pretty mid. The mexican aquaman thing is also lame imo (yes I know his actual name). They've should just recast tchalla with Michael b Jordan,or brought his character back for a redemption arc. I'll still watch it and give it a chance because the wife is hyped but I'm not keeping my hopes up.

This should be the black panther.
I read the spoilers ManaByte posted and it sounds like the first Marvel Capeshit in a while to actually have a self contained movie of worth. Characters die, things happen, things progress. First BP was like a solid 7 and that's all it needs to be.

That would be the most confusing shit ever. That’s like saying for Dark Knight Rises they should have brought Joker back with a recast, only it’s Aaron Eckhart (Two-Face) playing him now.

Nah, multiverse BP where he isn't bad, or just have him return from the dead.
That would be the most confusing shit ever. That’s like saying for Dark Knight Rises they should have brought Joker back with a recast, only it’s Aaron Eckhart (Two-Face) playing him now.
A simple card before the film saying that in light of Chadwicks passing T'challa is now played by XXX would be sufficient. If even that, really, no one seems confused about new lead heroes anywhere else and it's been what, 5 years since BP? Ancient history for film.

But you said have him play T’Challa specifically. That would be confusing. You wouldn’t have Jeremy Renner show up from another universe but say he’s playing Scott Lang.
And it would be ridiculous for Killmonger to ever become BP at this point. This isn’t like Bucky where brainwashing occurred; regardless of his sympathetic qualities Killmonger has too much blood on his hands at this point. It’s why he let himself bleed out as he knew there was no way he wasn’t looking at being put in prison for a long ass time.
And I don’t think multiverse stuff works with a Black Panther film tone wise. Spidey, Dr. Strange, and Ant-man films, sure, but the more action-political thrillers like Captain America 2 and 3 and Black Panther should have little to do with it.

“Aww, it’s so...average,” she said to him in a cold brick of passion
I would actually be fine with the multiverse option. Just make it to where he never left Wakanda and he rose to be BP instead of T'challa.
Definitely don't call him T'challa though. That would be weird.

Yeah he can still be Eric, I guess I misspoke when I said "recast" was more about him getting the mantle or title.

Well as far as Boseman getting replaced, I'm totally agree with Michael Jai White. Also I kinda surprise he isn't in more leading roles. Thought he was pretty good as Spawn. "WWWANNNNDDDA."
But yeah, still not that interested in current Marvel.

Why do you guys think Michael Jai White is a good fit for the role? Yeah he can do martial arts but he can't act for shit.
Labolas

I didn't say he would be a good fit for BP. I said I wanted him in more main lead roles. Good director can make a mediocre actor look great.

The series a much needed comical boost? The series has only had 1 film and was loved by the entire world.

No, I think a dead serious film is what's needed after Love and Thunder.
And no to Kevin Hart.

Kevin Hart wouldn't make a good Black Panther. He's too short (this coming from a short guy). Plain and simple.
He can do dramatic acting but even with that... I just couldn't take him seriously as the Black Panther.

That's the whole point. It would change from a dull, serious cape flick into something more fun and exciting.
Also, he isn't too short to play Black Panther. Kevin Hart is only a few inches shorter than Letitia Wright, and if she's tall enough to play Black Panther then so is Hart.
Good grief, who cares how tall he is? RDJ does it! Just have a 6'5" stunt man in the suit and never explain it. Maybe the suit makes him larger.
After all, this is a world where the Hulk (and She-hulk) exists to get mad and get swole, a sick lady can pick up a hammer and get swole, you can get injected with blue glowing serum and get swole, bitten by a spider and get swole, so why not use your "nanotechnology vibranium necklace bullshit" to get tall AND swole?
I say, some of you guys will defend some casting to death based on "it's all fantasy" but then knock a guy for height, the ONE THING Hollywood can damn sure hide in a film
Days like these...

That's definitely an inaccurate portrayal of the first film. It was popular in the US and less so around the world.
