See, i dont get this logic. Chadwick's death was awful no doubt. But wouldn't it be great to pay tribute to him by recasting the role with a strong black male actor?

Would people really be pissed if that happened? I cant see it.

That's not a tribute. That's moving forward as if you didn't lose an actor that was an icon to his race.

The way they're doing it, building a film around the loss of that person, with turmoil, visual reminders of the loss to Wakanda, showing the journey that leads to someone taking up his mantle, that's a tribute.

Not, "The role of Black Panther will now be played by John David Washington."

Marvel was too quick to state that the role would not be recast after Chadwick's death. They should have quietly moved forward with a casting search and once they had their man take the appropriate time to announce and allow this to digest.

No, especially since the "Black Panther" isn't an individual like Iron Man or Spider-Man. It's a moniker.
