Super unconfirmed but seems extremely likely

Kani played the young T'Chaka in Black Panther previously. His real life father played old T'Chaka in Captain America so this seems like a pretty good casting.

The anti-vaxxer was a woman right? I would highly doubt Disney makes the new Black Panther a woman.

I mean if you were to disregard Shuri being a Black Panther in the comics somewhat recently. The actress being anti-vax has a bigger influence than her gender

No idea. That's a south African TLD and the timing of this report coincides with another black female actor from south Africa who just landed in USA to begin filming Black Panther 2 in an unconfirmed role. Kani (also from south Africa) may have been cast at the same time.

Comics get a lot more room for experimentation than mainstream blockbuster movies.

Yes. Which is why I don't think Disney is going to rock the boat with the first mainstream black superhero by replacing him with a woman.

Those same blockbusters regularly gender/raceswap established characters and you're the one concerned about genderswapping...

I don't remember the guy but I'd be okay with it. A recast is way more fitting than just shelving the character IMO

I really could care less myself, I'm just stating I think Disney won't make the movie version of Black Panther a woman. There are tons of white male heroes (i.e. the first Captain America, Ironman, Thor, The Hulk, Dr. Strange, etc) to star in the Marvel movie universe, so replacing them probably isn't seen as a big deal to Disney. On the other hand, T'Challa is currently the only black man to have been the lead hero in a Disney Marvel movie.

And you don't think being the 1st to nab "black female lead" wouldn't matter to them? Especially when the competition pushed Wonder Woman (supposed 1st female lead) to the forefront? Especially when recent Disney movies featured non white women as leads?
I mean...here you are saying Disney won't replace BP with a woman due to her gender instead of her opinions when they recently fired a woman because of her opinions amidst of pushing women of color in animation...
