Kevin Feige Reveals Why Chadwick Boseman’s T’Challa Was Not Recast In ‘Wakanda Forever’: “It Was Much Too Soon”

talks about the decision to not recast the role, and instead find a way to honor Boseman along with a different approach in the sequel.

“It just felt like it was much too soon to recast,” he told the magazine. “Stan Lee always said that Marvel represents the world outside your window. And we had talked about how, as extraordinary and fantastical as our characters and stories are, there’s a relatable and human element to everything we do. The world is still processing the loss of Chad. And Ryan poured that into the story.

The original 2018 film directed by Coogler follows T’Challa , heir to the hidden but advanced kingdom of Wakanda, who must step forward to lead his people into a new future and confront a challenger from his country’s past. The pic written by Coogler and Joe Robert Cole was a historic success for Disney, grossing over $1.3B worldwide and landing seven Oscar nominations, winning in the categories of Best Original Score, Costune Design and Production Design.

Then wouldn't it been better to delay the movie? And fwiw this recast would've been the only one marvel fans would've understood
