Bosemanâââwho played King TâChalla / Black Panther in four Marvel Cinematic Universe movies: 2016âs Captain America: Civil War, 2018âs Black Panther and Avengers: Infinity War, and 2019âs Avengers: Endgameâââdied of colon cancer on August 28, 2020.

In an interview with Empire magazine in 2022, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige explained why the studio decided to not recast TâChalla after Bosemanâs death.The world is still processing the loss of Chad. And [director] Ryan [Coogler] poured that into the story.â He continued, âThe conversations were entirely about, yes, âWhat do we do next?â And how could the legacy of Chadwickâââand what he had done to help Wakanda and the Black Panther become these incredible, aspirational, iconic ideasâââcontinue? Thatâs what it was all about.â
Winston Duke, who plays MâBaku in the Black Panther movies, also explained in an interview on the âJemele Hill is Unbotheredâ podcast in 2022 why he agreed with Feigeâs decision to not recast Boseman as TâChalla. I think for this iteration of Black Panther, itâs very hard for me to comment on something like that because Iâm of the mind that this is Chadwickâs role. When you cast a person, youâre also casting their experiences, youâre casting their politics, youâre casting all these things. Black Panther was heavily defined by the actor that did it, in my opinion,â he said.
