This I would disagree with. I figured correctly that it would be a massive hit.

Chadwick's death kind of put them in a tough spot. I know they wanted to pay their respects to him, but they should have recast the part.

Dude, Black Panter is an outlier. NOBODY expected it to be the hit it was, and it's main star died suddenly.

There aren't any main male characters left other than M'Baku, who is a stretch as a "main" character.

If he hadn't died, I doubt M'Baku even makes it on the poster. The poster would still be 4 out of 5 featured stars as women, or 4 out of 6 in the off chance M'Baku actually did make the poster.

ETA: in other words, your comment changes nothing about the OP.
