Feige confirmed they aren't recasting T'Challa for BP2.
I see, well, maybe because BP2 story is a bit odd, like different. I don't think it's about BP at all. Maybe BP3...
Marvel has confirmed that Thor4 and GotG3 are going to be crazy big movies on the scale of Avengers. Thor4 will have the female Thor-plot though, so I guess it's written off in your mind. Drax leaving seems kinda likely. Gunn has stated that he wants to focus on Rocket and Groot in this one, and Quill and Gamora will obviously be front and center as well. Drax is always just kind of there. The Bautista was also quite vocal after Gunn was initially fired, which often gets you sacked.
I don't remember seeing that. I remember seeing that Marvels will be Civil War level movie, though. MoM will be huge. I understand GOTG3 being huge movie because it's ending for Guardians.
It is because of female Thor plot. Like why not finishing Chris' plot and that's it?
Genderswapping automatically means less points? Why are you so sensitive about this issue?
Because it's woke? And I hate this much wokeness. Race swapping is good and all but genderswapping and women taking role of men is bad enough. Like why not not create ORIGINAL woman character like Agent May from Agents of Shield? Same would be said vice versa if they make Gamor, Nebulo etc it would be bad because men taking roles of women.
How about waiting to see what the story is before going in with your panties tangled in a knot?
I literally never said that movie would be awful. I said lose some points, almost every MCU movie started from 10/10 except Capt Marvel. So far Phase 4 seems to take the candle and continue less than 10/10 from a start aka Eternals, possibly Thor4. Eternals is 8/10 because of this wokeness and it can stay 8/10 but also dwindle down to being bad or still good. 8/10 is still amazing movie, just not masterpiece. Civil War, Infinity War, WS are close to masterpieces. I hope Eternals will be 7-7.5/10
These are very unknown characters that no casual moviegoer will have known before hand. It's not as if they're genderswapping SpiderMan or anything.
Yeah, but for avid comic book readers or comic book wizards, it's bad. And here's another thing. There are two Earth Eternals who are female: Titanis and Pixie.Lauren could play Titanis and Salma: Pixie. Why didn't they chose them instead of genderswapping Ajak and Makkari? Or they could easily create new MCU Eternals to be females like Agent May.
Who has heard of Makkari before Marvel Studios dropped this title? At this point, you're just throwing hate down while they're just trying to make the cast less homogenous.
It has nothing to do with hate but people complaining about wokeness and I am not the only one. Yes, we're minority because 70% of MCU fanbase didn't hear about Ajak and Makkari being male. But still that's how it goes. Eternals will be watched free, I will still watch it but just not give any penny because I hate this much wokeness. Again, if they wanted to be 5:5 a) create 2 female Eternals or do Titanis and Pixie.
Just so you know, there's also going to be an openly gay character in this one. Does that constitute a fatal flaw?
It depends. If they go announce the world and be proud of them being gay, it's a flaw. If it's like in Deadpool 2 like they're BF/BF, GF/GF and it's done subtly. Then it's fine.
How would Shuri taking over the mantle be genderswapping? A mantle doesn't have a gender. The Black Panther was male, because T'Challa was male. Shuri has always been female. If she picks up the mantle, BP can be a female. Heck, even 'Female Thor' wasn't a true genderbend because Jane Foster somehow got those powers and she didn't become the actual 'Thor'.
It's "women replacing man" Black Panther has always been T Challa aka Black Panther. Giving female that mantle is bad because in comics BP is man. That's why it's the best BP to be recast or give the mantle to another black man. Since again BP is man in comics. Shuri did become BP but that's being T Challa was sick but alive. The name would be Black Panthress which is another female taking male lead.
Jane is different in this case it can be bad or not so bad but still not good.
a) Jane becomes worthy Capt. America style. This is the worst case scenario because she's not worthy at all. Valkarye has more "worthyness" than
she does. I mean she was always sleeping. His best character was in Thor 1...
b) marriage, this is not bad but still far from good because it's Thor all over again. Can we see different powers? And why is she Thor, why not Lady Thunder?
Anyway what should've happened is that she becomes mutant with new powers because of Reality Stone and Thor is finished( like dies in Thor 4 or GOTG3)
A. They're not going to recast for BP2. Marvel confirmed this.
B. M'baku is a good candidate, but so are Shuri, Nakia and even Okoye. Lupita N'yongo is an Oscar winning actress. They better do something with her.
C. Yes, lets have a Black Panther-movie, without a Black Panther... while there are several characters well suited to take up that mantle.
B. M'Baku is only good choice to finish BP2 and 3. Great trilogy. They could do something with female to be equally as important as M Baku as BP.
C. It can easily happen.Movie can take place between Endgame and IW.
"BP will and always be a black man", except in the comics where Shuri has taken up that mantle before. Sure, Black Panther will always be black (and I assume Wakandan), but Marvel isn't backwards in their gender-department.
Yes, only because T CHalla was sick. When he returned to healthy man he was BP. BP being anything but black would be bad.
Lupita N'Yongo also recently had an interview where she said that the way Ryan Coogler reshaped the movie after Chadwick's death was emotionally and spiritually satisying.
For me that sounds and what Martin said that there won't be BP in the movie but honoring Chadwick, so if that's what BP2 will be about then cool.
If we have to look to a singular person, that would be Nakia. But it might be that the mantle could even be worn between several characters: Nakia's heart, M'baku's strength and Okoye's unwavering loyalty to Wakanda. Shuri could give all three a suit and they could defend Wakanda together.
I doubt Okoye would be BP. However M Baku and Nakia being BPs is still better than 1 female being BP.
