Reports indicate that the Marvel Cinematic Universe might bring back T’Challa, also known as Black Panther, sooner than expected. This comes after the sad passing of Chadwick Boseman, the actor who portrayed the character. There’s talk that the multiverse storyline will be used, possibly introducing Toussaint, who is T’Challa’s son from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, or a different version of T’Challa from another reality.
The rumor suggests that this new T’Challa will first appear in an Avengers movie before showing up in Black Panther 3. This fits with the expected changes in Avengers: Secret Wars, which could create a good setup for the character. It’s also mentioned that the Russo brothers will be involved in Avengers: Doomaday, recalling how Boseman first appeared in the MCU during Captain America: Civil War.

Director Ryan Coogler has shared his thoughts on the possibility of recasting the role. He pointed out how special Chadwick Boseman’s performance was and how difficult it would be to replace him. The decision not to recast T’Challa in Wakanda Forever is seen as important since it introduced Toussaint, hinting that Shuri might eventually pass the Black Panther title to her nephew.
While it’s unclear when the new T’Challa will be introduced, reports suggest it will involve the multiverse. This way, Marvel can introduce a new version of the character while still honoring Chadwick Boseman’s legacy. By featuring the new T’Challa in an Avengers film first, Marvel can integrate him into the larger MCU before he takes center stage in his own story.
Overall, it seems like Marvel is trying to balance respect for the past with moving forward with the Black Panther storyline. The ongoing discussions about Toussaint and the multiverse will play a big role in how Marvel handles this situation.
