The three Marvel actors are said to have their eyes on the role of King T’Challa in the upcoming BLACK PANTHER films

Last week, it was reported that heavy rumors were circulating in Hollywood, suggesting that Marvel was looking to recast Black Panther’s role in the MCU.

When the second film, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever was released, the studio chose to honor the late star Chadwick Bosemannpassing his character and having Letitia WrightShuri steps into the role of protector of Wakanda.

They wanted to have a respectful transition that would allow the franchise to move forward while also preserving Boseman’s legacy. However, there are some fans who continued to advocate for recasting T’Challa to further explore the character’s history.

Now, scooper @MyTimeToShineH is revealing who has been at the top of Marvel’s discussions to take on the role.

CBM reports that the prolific leaker said, “Some of the actors Marvel Studios is/were considering to play ‘New T’Challa’ are: John David Washington, Kelvin Harrison Jr., Aaron Pierre.”

Washington, the son of screen icon Denzel Washington, who revealed he will join the third Black Panther film, is best known for starring in Principle, The CreatorAND The piano lesson. Harrison Jr., meanwhile, has recently lent his talents Mufasa: The Lion King and has received widespread acclaim for his work in Waves AND Knight.

Perhaps the most interesting name on the list is Pierre, especially because Rebel crest she was recently cast as the DCU’s John Stewart Lanterns. We imagine this has put him off the hook and he could be the mystery actor who turned down Marvel Studios last year.

Who knows what will happen with casting and what will happen in the multiverse moving forward in the MCU? We’ll just have to wait and see if any of these actors will step into the shoes Boseman left behind.
