Mikey Sutton of Geekosity is reporting that Marvel Studios is currently planning to pass the mantle of Black Panther from Chadwick Boseman to Letitia Wright, the actress that plays T'Challa's sister, Shuri. It's the move that has seemed the most obvious for the franchise.

Who replaces Chadwick as Black Panther?

Martin Freeman played the character of Everett K. Ross in Marvel Studios' Black Panther, that starred late actor Chadwick Boseman in the lead role.

Are they going to replace Chadwick Boseman?

Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman can't be replaced, but the world of his character will live on. Director Ryan Coogler is returning to direct Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, the sequel to 2018's blockbuster hit, and the film it scheduled to hit theaters on July 8, 2022.
