Man everyone wants BP, and he can go solo but him not beating down the FF4 with his mental prowess and prep...that was such a great intro to the character and what he was about, the hunt and the prey pretty cool stuff. Oh well if they did do T'chaka to T'challa succession that would be a good story , then you just need a villain to kill T'chaka and a sucker to ally with that villain betray wakanda. Then of course you devise how T'challa out manuvers them all, introduces himself and his reclusive nation to the world but still preserves their autonomy and proudly takes his place among the line of protectors that have been the panther. Could be great.

Though I've been wanting him for a potential Green Lantern reboot, Chadwick Boseman needs to play Black Panther.
I think that they really need to spend money on this property. Black Panther is probably one of the most well known original non-white superheroes. Cannot half-ass it.
Yeah, I still think this is the best pick I've heard.
Jai White has the build and the fighting skills, but let's be real. He's not the greatest actor.
Djimon is too old plus he's in GotG.
Idris is already in Thor prominently.
Michael B Jordan is too young.
Chiwetel would be my second choice but for some reason, I just don't feel him as BP.

I dont think marvel can do the shi'ar imperial guard ...can they? Xmen no?
and that story sucks why would Namor and T'challa fight BEFORE AvX? And T'challa suddenly not know how to discern based on true principles is a disturbing turn for the character he's not an idiot and if anything the first one to understand the true source of a situation or conflict.
The way things are going now, Shuri's going to have both their heads on the same spike:
Too awesome for film.

Of course I know he doesn't, I'm just saying that to the uninitiated, that will be the first thought. I'm definitely up for some more diverse superheroes, though!

I think the best actor for Black Panther right now is Morris Chestnut.

This needs to be a scene in cap 3.
Random shield scientist: "say cap how did you manage to get a sample of vibranium?"
Cap: "son that's classified" *flashback to the smackdown from T'chaka*

Cottonmouth? His acting sucks. Have you seen V?

Have Panther go the States seeking help with reclaiming Wakanda.

I want a Shuti movie not a T'Challa one
actually no I dont, I just think she looks badass
Would be nice, but the one thing people want to see less than black men as main characters are black females.
and they certainly aren't going to have killmonger prance in and accuse the advanced wakanda of being too european and arguing for a return to their roots.
so that leaves this Fantastic Four stuff which is obviously unusable and the avengers stuff which would need to be established beforehand.
I suppose they could do some sort of Achebe/Hydra vibranium thing, but Wakanda in general is a risk, especially after how people reacted to the idea of the movies adapting the mandarin.

As for BP being at his best in crossovers, just look at GAF. every time someone posts a black panther scan it's in the context of a crossover event. ie: BP/Doom stuff, the skrull war speech, the illuminati stuff in this very thread, etc.

Michael Jai White is the only answer. It shouldn't even be a discussion

i doubt theyd leapfrog tchalla. she could be the second bp though while tchalla deals with cosmic bs though

Damn, that is all depressingly true.
You reminded me on the Supremacist
Not in a world where Black Panther:Man without fear and Priest runs exists.

Don't let that pic fool you, he's an actor and can act. Let him get ripped and he'd look right for the role.
Plus, gaf is always bitching about how people here suggest old people for these new characters because then you run into the Tony problem where apparently you gotta worry about the actor getting too old after a few films. This way you get someone young a ready to usher in the next wave of Avengers.
Actually, I think it's the other way.
Give a Black woman a white BFF (Daughters of the Dragon buddy cop movie along the lines of The Heat. Or like the show, Sleepy Hollow) or give her a white male love interest (Scandal ... or Sleepy Hollow depending on how you look at it) and you get a ton of casting options along with an interesting base for the tumblr generation to eat up. People feel safer looking at a "Strong black woman" next to a white male than the other way around.
Problem is that, either way, you would be making a Thor level costing film for a BP movie where as street level stuff (Daughters of the Dragon) would be cheaper and less of a gamble. Wakanda just cost more to realize than Marvel is willing to gamble.

id love a man without fear run.
This is a good take.

I like Donald Glover but he's too young. Or more specifically, he looks too young.
With Captain Romania the super soldier

It's actually much more likely that it won't be. The Norton experiment worked out pretty badly for Marvel and in general they'll be relying on the brand and the marketing to drive people to these films, not the stars. If they get someone unknown they can lock them in cheap.
Yeah, it gets the tone spot-on right from the start and it's got plenty of material to mine.
Because the crossover events get way more exposure than his own book ever has, not because they're better.
black panther so badass
Is this one from a crossover? Because this is easily the best BP thing posted in this thread.

Daaaaaaaaamn.
I figure they should look into Star Trek for ideas, since those tend to involve a technologically advanced civilization that's not supposed to interfere with the civilizations it gets in touch with, but invarisbly does.
Replace the Enterprise with Wakanda and see how it works.
Then there's the occasional contact with strange or more advanced tech - plenty of examples in Marvel and ST. ST sometimes has crew members with psychic abilities, Wakanda as a strong spiritual tradition enforced by a panther god.
As a possible introduction, if there are already plans for a Dr Strange movie, hint at Wakanda's spiritual gravitas in that one as a teaser - if Strange as a role in the MCU, the issues that matter in his stories should matter elsewhere, and most of the rest of the Marvel universe is tech-heavy already.
It might be fitting to show just how thick Wakanda's defenses are if they're prepared and are strong in areas most of the world doesn't even believe in, IMO.
Of course, none of this is mutually exclusive with stories suggested here about succession and invasion attempts - I just can't think of many more settings beyond Star Trek where tech advantage and non-interference sctially applied to protagonists, so it's one exsmple for tone that has worked.

well, better at selling books and being known to the fanbase. crossover panther is the panther of most panther fans.

Yada yada yada yada
The one of infinity's biggest problems is that they totally skipped over the entirety of that fight for no good reason.
"fans don't want to see all that anyway".
Don't invade Wakanda it is not a lesson that needs repeating at length. I picture Black Dwarf walking back to his ship to the sad Hulk music.

It's a damn shame that Hounsou is already 49. He'd be my first pick if it wasn't for his age.
Too bad he didn't train how to land like a cat, i.e. not headfirst
To be fair Pym had to create life to beat Ultron. Actually he created 6 gods and they created life.

Nothing about age of ultron made any kind of sense.
Marvel should apologize and do Age of Turner D. Century.
