Something super insulting to Chadwick Boseman and T'Challa like that.

It's weird and kinda dumb, since someone else will be in the suit anyway. When they pull off the mask to show his face (or at a funeral), and everyone is staring at him crying...what are they going to do? Put a digital CG face of Chadwick Boseman and paste a deepfake on a guy lying there?

It's pretty obvious hiring a look-a-like to play Boseman could have been done. Obviously he wouldn't look 100% the same, but a lot of African people have similar skeletal features in their skulls/faces that goes back to their ancestors over generations since the days of homo habilis and homo erectus after we evolved from a common ancestor with the great ape.

Just have a guy with a similar haircut and you wouldn't notice much different. I mean it also happened in the Nolan Batman movies. Remember when Katie Holmes was replaced with a new actress in The Dark Knight Returns? She didn't look that different.

You're so dumb, Cubed. Or you're the trollingest motherf#cker in the universe, whatever.

And of course Namor isn't white. Of course.

The other picture doesn't impress me until we see an actual actor in the costume. I mean look at how they ****ed up Gorr the Godslayer.
Wasn't Namor always kinda Asian lookin? You might start to sound like CyberCubed soon

I'm more and more intrigued by this movie. It sucks that they had to pivot so hard to account for Boseman's death, but this phase of the MCU is interesting to me so far.

All those Vulcan Atlanteans look alike to me.

What a bunch of garbage. They're going to make Black Panther 2 into another origin story because they're spineless cowards while sh**ting on Chadwick and his character.

Wow, what a glorious reign and legacy T'Challa had as Black Panther now! He became Black Panther then a week later vanished for 5 years and came back and died somehow off-screen. I'm sure they'll be talking about his reign for centuries to come in Wakanda! I don't know how these guys can think for one moment this is a good idea. Stupid, stupid, stupid on every level.

The MCU really did end with End Game, didn't it?

They really should have either ended it there or gatekeep all these crazy woke directors the **** away from the franchise.

The TVs shows were a terrible idea too. Shoulda stayed as movies.... but actual good movies.

I'm sure this crap with this movie isn't the director, it's coming from the top.

I didn't even see the first one but the whole "We can't recast because the actor was just TOOOOOO important" thing reeks of bullsh*t to me. We can't let ourselves start going down that path with these things.

I can't wait for this. Ryan Coogler is one of my favorite directors. I bet Shuri o becomes Black Panther in this somewhere

I don't doubt it. Over in Star Wars, Kathleen Kennedy pretty much said out loud not long ago, "Nobody but Mark Hammill will ever play Luke Skywalker, we learned our lesson with Solo"... which means 100 years from now they're still gonna be CGI'ing his face onto body doubles and stuff like that.

So I wouldn't doubt it if it's the new hard line from Disney Corporate. "We 'can't' recast anyone who's too 'iconic'."

Well, they decided not to do what Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker did with Carrie Fisher, which would've been using repurposed unseen footage of Chadwick Boseman from a previous movie to conclude his character's story. I know that movie divided critics and audiences, but that was something that a lot of people agreed was very well done given what happened to Fisher. Either they didn't have any unseen footage that could be used properly or they just wanted to do something different.

Or they could've just recasted. Period. Simple. Edward Norton didn't remain the Hulk after Incredible Hulk because they decided they didn't want to work with him again. If Norton died after Incredible Hulk, what... by this thinking we'd need to make a whole new Hulk character going into the Avengers? Because we need to honor Norton's 1 movie legacy which means somehow burying his character and hamstringing its legacy?

Absolutely retarded thinking on its face.

Is Namor going to make his film debut. If so I hope they don't turn him into one of the MCU's disposable villains. The character deserves better.

If anything, this is the Mummy 2 to his Scorpion King to come. Obviously.

Edward Norton didn't wanted to work with Marvel again, Because he was upset they did not give him full creative control over the movie.

That’s a great trailer but I’m a bit pessimistic about Marvel lately. Hope it lives up to the trailer because it could be something special. Enough with the formulaic crap though please.
