Black Panther not to be recast

[Jimmy Higgins]

So in a good news/bad news turn of events, they have announced that Black Panther's role will not be recast after Boseman hit it out of the park with rendition of the character through 4 (I think) films.

So this is an honor for how well Boseman played the character, but not so much for the character itself, as it takes him out of play. The film Black Panther itself was a massive success in both the box office, review consensus, and messing the under garments of whittle white snowflakes.

That is the right decision. They will likely have the story be Shuri stepping up to be the new Black Panther. Something they were probably going to do in the future, but now have to do right away.

What I wonder is how they will deal with BP's death in the movie. Will it be from heroically fighting some villain off-screen, or will they write it as dying from cancer, showing even great heroes can be struck down by regular health problems?

Really wish we got to see more of him in the roll.
