Apparently Disney is unsure how to proceed with the already announced Black Panther 2. They never started filming and probably don't even have a complete script since the movie wasn't planned to come out till 2022 anyway.

My guess is...they'll cancel it, or heavily re-write it so Shuri is the main character instead. I don't think they'll recast, it would be disrespectful since we're in the same continuity.

A real shame this happened in the middle of the #BlackLivesMatter movement too. We had the first big black superhero movie and a black icon in the midst of the current social turmoil and with his unfortunate passing, it is not a good look. I don't know what Disney can do but recasting him would likely cause an uproar so it's best to leave well enough alone.
