Who else could it be realistically that wouldn't make people angrier than happy for the twist?

There was never a great solution.

Yeah, unless they somehow retconned Killmonger back alive, there wasn't real feasible option within the established pantheon. I guess you could make the argument for Baku, but he would seem like a stop-gap to someone from the royal family anyway.
Last shot sure looked like Shuri in the BP suit. But this should be expected given she was the sister and lines of succession.TCTTS said:
Between the final shot of the new trailer and Shuri being front and center in the new poster, there's no way she's not the new BP at this point. On first impression, that's somewhat disappointing, but I'll of course wait and reserve judgment. All I know is the new trailer doesn't hold a candle to the first one. Then again, nothing was going to top one of the greatest of all time.
She definitely makes the most sense. I guess I was just hoping it would somehow be more of a genuine surprise no one had thought of yet.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
i still think the best solution was to recast T'Challa. i think they really screwed up by announcing the role would not be recast so quickly after Boseman's passing. they should have simply said "now is the time to celebrate the life of Chadwick Boseman, not to discuss BP2 or the role of T'Challa". they may have still decided that not recasting was the best course of action, but i just don't get why they took it off the table so early. workshop it with Coogler, talk with the family, see what the public discourse is and then figure out the best course forwardTCTTS said:

You could have had a multi-verse BP make it here, and problem solved, cast whomever you want.
I think Marvel wanted to show that #girlsgetitdone after the news, but you have to think that with Letitia's social media controversy, they are wishing they could have gone with a more mayonnaise kind of option.
Like Martin Freeman.

The Black Panther 2 Lego sets have already spoiled who the new Panther will be.

Eh, there could be some female empowerment motivation present, but I think it was more an attempt to avoid appearing callous and basically saying that any black actor can be plugged into Boseman's place.
Yeah, LEGO always spoils major character reveals.

I get you, but with the flexibility of the multiverse allowing you to do anything you want basically, how badass would Michael B Jordan be coming from a parallel universe where Killmonger is good, the black panther, and Klaue is still alive?
MBJ as Killmonger might be the one re-casting that would work, yeah. I mentioned him in my first post on this page.
I do hope they bring back both Killmonger and Klaue as part of the Multiverse stuff. Those two were so great in those roles that it seems a waste to kill both off so quickly.Definitely Not A Cop said:jeffk said:Definitely Not A Cop said:

The trailer still looks great. Absolutely love the aesthetic of the Atlanteans. Can't wait to see them in action.

I think mbaku was a favorite for many
Underwhelming trailer but I'll still see it opening weekend.
Way more excited about Ant Man 3

I'd rather see him. Shuri is unbearable to watch.Saxsoon said:Definitely Not A Cop said:

I'll be watching this out of "obligation" just so I can keep watching MCU movies and not be totally lost, but I'm not particularly excited for this. The new trailer did nothing for me, and I'm also not a fan of Shuri at all.
But, I am open to being won over. The Mayan aspect of it does intrigue me a bit.

It really is too bad they killed him off in BP. I wonder how much the regret that now.jeffk said:Definitely Not A Cop said:

I haven't even watched the second Dr. Strange yet. I've fallen into the trap of wanting to see how all of these connect, because that's a ton of fun to try and figure out. I don't think that was Marvel's intent with Phase 4.Brian Earl Spilner said:

I think COVID really screwed things up for them, but even if COVID didn't happen, I will maintain that Spidey should have been the first movie after Endgame for Phase 4.
Will be a good Christmas time rewatch this year!maroon barchetta said:BenFiasco14 said:
Super late on Hawkeye but watching now. I'll watch anything with Hailee Steinfeld in it. My god.
It was a really great watch around Christmas time.
Could one hold out for wishful thinking that the "reveal" at the end of the trailer was a red herring or not actually a part of the movie?
I imagine that she becomes BP in the last 30 minutes of the movie. Probably as a final boss fight Hail Mary solution.
That gives them time to figure it out in the future based on audience reception. They always have multiverse/distant cousin we forgot about as possible solutions if she doesn't work out.

Im hyped for BP2, will probably take one of my kids to see it opening weekend. I love M'Baku, probably my favorite character from that movie and one of my favorites overall.
Wish they'd make Angela Basset the new BP - she's such a a bad ass. You see her shoulders in that one scene of the new trailer? She could beat every guy here arm wrestling.

The woman doesn't age either. She looks the same in Contact from '97 as she does now. Stella got her groove back and never lost it again (sorry).
These are some great posters...

I'm with you. I just have no excitement to go see this one. Didn't care much for the first one and other than Spiderman, this phase has just been all over the place.
Just a callback to the upside down killmonger shot
Finally got around to watching Thor: Love and Thunder the other night. I think just about all of the criticism i read here was justified. A lot of the humor felt forced and out of place. Second half was better than the first. Scene with the kids was really funny. Felt like Natalie Portman kind of phoned it in tbh. Ragnarok was much better and sets the hold standard for Marvel along with GotG.
