Hey everyone today I'm doing another fan cast and ideas and this one is about Black Panther 2. Now after Chadwick's death I wrote what Marvel should do with Black Panther 2 I talked about ideas of Marvel either recasting the role, having the mantle get picked up by someone, or just put this film on hold for awhile.
REST IN POWER.
One thing I recently learned from Marvel was they won't cgi him in the film which is good but what does that mean are they going to kill him off screen or something. Or are they going recast the role of T'Challa because I do think John David Washington would be the right choice to play the role of Black Panther if they go with that approach. I don't think it would be disrespectful to Chadwick to recast if they cast someone who can pull it off like he did. John's father Denzel helped Chadwick pay for his acting classes so I think John is the right one to continue the role if they go with that approach of recasting. 
Now this take on Black Panther would focus on Shuri and Kasper Cole as the stars of the film. We can have two Black Panthers in the MCU.
I did predict before Chad's death that Shuri would become Queen of Wakanda and T'Challa would go and live in New York as Luke Charles.
Shuri also would be an aunt too for Naika has a son with T'Challa who is roughly around four or five years old his name is Azari. Now since it likely they will make changes to Storm seeing how the rumours of her appearing are unlikely because we know T'Challa and Storm would have gotten together but now its likely we might see her make her big an MCU debut in a X Men film. In truth though Shuri is actually ruling Wakanda until her nephew Azari, comes of age. However, Shuri has to deal with many threats to Wakanda and her family a man Changmire, who is the leader of the Red Panthers wants to overthrow the monarchy and have the people rule instead.
Kasper's role in this film now if you've seen my Black Panther 3 Fan Cast and Ideas. Kasper would have appeared in that film as supporting role and he was going to be White Tiger instead of Black Panther. I did mention he does wear one of T'Challa's old outfits but he changes the colour of suit to white. As well he was going to be a younger brother figure to T'Challa. He was also going to be living with his pregnant girlfriend and mother but this will be different though. Most of his story arc from my third fan cast that I include will be in this film except he doesn't have a girlfriend back in New York. Kasper goes to Wakanda to hunt Achebe for murdering his best friends at the police department. Kasper goes to Wakanda and at one point he meets Everett Ross, Ross knows about Achebe for he's one the FBI's most wanted. They are attacked by Achebe's henchmen and Kasper finds an old Black Panther costume that Everett had puts it on and fights them off. Shuri and Okoye arrive and see this but Okoye is not happy about him wearing that costume. However, what he does impresses Shuri and she gets the idea to get him train him to become another Black Panther. Shuri has Okoyle train Kasper to be a warrior and be another successor as Black Panther. So she can rule but if there is any trouble in Wakanda Kasper can deal with it. Now we will see Kasper trying to prove himself but there is a lot of Wakandas who hate this idea of this outsider becoming Black Panther even Shuri's closes friends don't like it but he intends to prove them wrong.
Okoye would play a huge role in the film. She like Shuri is devastated over the death of T'Challa and is determine to find the one who killed him. She also acts like a big sister for Shuri and another mother figure to T'Challa's son Azair. Okoye eventually meets Kasper at first she doesn't like him wearing a Black Panther costume but later Shuri has her train Kasper much to her dismay to it. At first she's tough on Kasper but begins to like him and sees what Shuri saw in him. Okoye also tries to help Shuri rule and is trying to put an end Changamire's group the Red Panthers as well Kasper informs of Achebe and they trying to hunt him down too. She also trying to work things out with her lover W'Kabi as well.
Now in my old one I had Nakia get killed off during a fight with Tiger Shark and as you know T'Challa and Storm would get together. However, in this version Nakia wouldn't die instead she and T'Challa have a son together named Azari the crown prince of Wakanda. Sadly T'Challa is murdered and she left grieving widow and mother. She deeply loves her son and very protective of him. She still remains strong and acts as an advisor to the throne. She wants to find the people response for T'Challa's death. Nakia actually is fine with Kasper becoming Black Panther she's not bitter towards him but she only hopes that he can prove himself. She also believes that Shuri will honour T'Challa's memory as Queen and Black Panther as well.
Winston Duke as M'Baku
M'Baku this time would play a more villainous role. In my third film fan cast and ideas he was going to work with Dr. Doom and he would be defeated and sent into exile for betraying Wakanda. In this version he was sad about T'Challa's death but he has doubts on Shuri as queen because she has no experience ruling and he especially doesn't like the idea of Kasper become another Black Panther. He eventually betrays Shuri and joins with Changamire to overthrow Shuri. M'Baku believes this what's right for Wakanda because the more outsiders that are coming tradition is all gone and letting only a council decide the fate of the nation is the no longer the way to go. We also would see him fight Kasper and Shuri. Shuri is the one who delivers the final blow like her brother defeats him. In the end M'Baku would go into exile and he would accept his defeat like a real warrior.
Changamire would serve one of the main villains of the film. Changamire's role is just like the I wrote from my other Black Panther 2 fan cast. However, he's not woking with Attuma but he does work Achebe and later M'Baku joins him. He is the leader of the Red Panthers who want to overthrow the monarchy for they believe the people should rule not a one person. He's basically the Vladimir Lenin of Wakanda.
Achebe is Black Panther's Joker and I put him my third Black Panther Fan Cast and he would serve secondary villain. I did recast the of Achebe with Lakeith Stanfield because he wants to play Joker and this role might be the next best thing for him incase they don't cast him as Joker in a future Batman film. Achebe would be more of an enemy to Kasper because he's criminal mastermind and psychopath in New York. If you read my Black Panther 3 fan cast you know his powers and origin. Achebe would kill Kasper's friends at the Brooklyn Police Station and now Kasper vows to hunt him down and bring him to justice for what he did. Achebe flees to Wakanda and he joins forces with Changamire to take over Wakanda. However, Achebe wants to do is destroy the legacy of Black Panther and in truth he just wants to burn Wakanda to the ground. In the end Kasper defeats him but doesn't kill him instead arrests him for the horrible murders he committed like a real police officer. I also think Achebe would make sense to be the one who killed T'Challa I mean its too obvious its Changamire but at the same time they were working together so anyway they both killed him.
Bast would appear in the film and like before her role is more active. We see her talk to Shuri and Kasper on what it means to be Black Panther and what it represents. Same role like my last version except T'Challa would be declared King of the Dead by Bast.
Kasper's father Jonathan would appear in the film and he's in prison for a crime he was framed for. Kasper has worked costly to clear his father's name. Jack use to be a cop until he was framed for possession of illegal drugs.
Ruth Cole is Kasper's mother who like her son believes her husband was set up. Her role is similar to what my old version was but Kasper doesn't have a pregnant girlfriend that she has fights with.
Mandla is the younger brother of M'Baku and in the film he plays a big role as he doesn't agree with his brother's view points of Wakanda right now. He doesn't look down at Shuri as Queen but he doesn't like the idea of Kasper as Black Panther. In the end he goes against his brother and takes over the Jabari Tribe and sends his brother into exile.
Norman Reedus as Sergeant Tork
Sergeant Tork is a sergeant in police department in New York and a friend of Kasper Cole. Francis has been a long time friend of Kasper and has worked at the police department for a long time.
Now with a lot of speculations and rumours that Shuri will be Black Panther in the next film. What they to do is make it a passing of the torch. Like Shuri was not ready and never saw herself becoming Queen or Black Panther. In the film we would see her struggle to being a queen and black panther. She misses her brother and she still can't accept that's he dead. However, Shuri doesn't give up like her brother and father before her and when she became Black Panther and Queen she made a promise to honour that legacy and protect Wakanda and her family. However, Shuri in truth would be ruling for her nephew and when he comes of age he will be King and Black Panther.
The idea of brining in someone like Kasper Cole and having him take up the mantle as well would be a very interesting story. Like instead of bringing back Kilmonger lets just have someone like Kasper take up the mantle of Black Panther. Kasper may not be Wakanda but he has a strong will, he has honour, and a spirit of warrior. The idea of him coming to Wakanda and basically repressing Shuri makes her think that he should be another Black Panther in fact they could reveal in Wakanda history there could be two Black Panthers but its likely they will mention there might have been a civil war over the throne because of that. Many Wakandens are worried that's what going to happen history will repeat itself, but Kasper is not from Wakanda and he doesn't want the throne so it won't happen. This why I think brining in Kasper Cole into the series would work and would be an interesting idea to tackle.
Another idea we can have two Black Panthers in the MCU, it was likely Marvel Studios was going to do this in the next film with T'Challa and Shuri both sharing the mantle. It is likely that will be changed with Shuri and Kasper sharing the mantle. What they could do is Shuri is the Black Panther of Wakanda and Kasper is the Black Panther of America. Kasper could join the New Avengers and Shuri can join A Force or Shuri is part of the New Avengers and Kasper leading his own team The Crew.
Now this be a big question how did T'Challa die after he just came back from Thanos's snap. Like my guess maybe he was murdered by someone maybe Changamire did it or Achebe or M'Baku. Or the rumours of Namor appearing maybe Namor killed him. It's going to be hard to explain this like they won't cgi him but one of the producers hinted that he is dead in the MCU. Now we don't know if it's true because they are all still discussing the future of this franchise because we don't know what their plans are. They might recast the role but if they do they need find someone who is worthy of it and what honour what Chad did with the role. 
Kasper is known to be the first Bi Racial Black Panther.
We are then interduce to Kasper Cole who comes to Wakanda to hunt down a criminal mastermind named Achebe who murdered all his friends at the police department from Brooklyn. Kasper eventually finds one of Black Panther's old costumes uses it to fight some bad guys. He's brought to Shuri and Shuri sees that he has potential to become a Black Panther. Shuri then gets the idea and sees him as a worthy successor to take up the mantle as well to become Black Panther. Which gets a very strong mixed reaction.
We would see Kasper be trained by Okoye who doubts he's worthy to be Black Panther because to her T'Challa can never be replaced. We would also see Kasper struggle to be Black Panther but he doesn't give up and this a character who has gone through a lot of hard times in his life like his father was black mailed for possession of illegal drugs. Kasper made it his mission to clear his father's name and also be a good cop like his dad. Now he takes up the mantle of Black Panther and he actually saw T'Challa a hero that many could look up too. Kasper though we see him struggle but he proves himself as worthy successor as Black Panther and the first non Wakanda to take up the mantle. We also see Kasper take on many warriors to become worthy of the Black Panther title.
The two of them would work together to fight Changamire, Achebe, and M'Baku who would serve as the villains of the film. As well there would be some romance between the two characters.
Now here's my fan cast its pretty much the same as my other fan cast but there will be some changes.
Jacob Anderson as Kasper Cole/Black Panther
Letitia Wright as Queen Shuri/Black Panther
Now in my old version of Black Panther 2 Shuri would become a Black Panther near the end and she becomes Queen after T'Challa steps down go live in New York and is leader of the New Avengers. Shuri would be queen of Wakanda at the end of the second film and the third film she's queen and Black Panther. But now it looks like they will make her Black Panther after Chadwick's death. So the idea is Shuri becomes Queen after T'Challa is killed and she's a total wreck still, but there is also the idea that Shuri needs to prove herself as Black Panther or maybe she has already proven herself. In the film could be about her trying to honour her brother's work and struggling to be a good queen but also be a protector of Wakanda. She also has to deal Changamire who wants to get rid of the monarchy and her family because he thinks Shuri weak and the people of Wakanda should rule not a king or queen. Like her brother Shuri is not one to give up so soon and she's also ruling for her nephew Azari for when he comes of age he will be king and she wants to keep him safe because he's the only thing that remains her of her brother. She would later meet Kasper and she sees potential in him and decides that he should also carry the mantle of Black Panther. For there can be two Black Panthers and in the film the two start develop a romance. We would see Shuri in action as Black Panther and she has been trained by Okoye and she's just as bad ass as her brother was.
Danai Gurina as Okoye
Lupita Nyong'o as Nakia
Winston Duke as M'Baku
Angela Bassett as Queen Mother Ramonda
In my old version T'Challa's mother gets killed off by Tiger Shark. In this version though she would get killed off at some point but before her death she was heart broken death of her son and she thought she wouldn't re live this again. She rarely takes part in meetings instead she spends more time with her grandson. She believes that her daughter will do just fine as queen and as Black Panther but she knows the struggles that will come with her being Black Panther and Queen. She is not fond of Kasper being another Black Panther as she fears that there could be others who want to take mantle away from Shuri and the royal family. 
Everett's role is the same he's working with the FBI and like others he's sadden by T'Challa's death he's trying to find the person responsible for it. Everett then meets Kasper Cole who comes to Wakanda to hunt Achebe and Everett begins to think that maybe this Achebe could be the one who killed T'Challa. At one point Everett and Kasper are attacked by some criminals working for Achebe. Everett gets hurt but he gives Kasper a Black Panther costume that he was carrying around. Everett would play a big role in the film try to hunt down T'Challa's killers and keep connections with Wakanda and the rest of the world staying strong.
Daniel Kaluuya as W'Kabi
W'Kabi would be in the film and like my original he would get a redemption story arc. In this film after the death of T'Challa he feels so much guilt for siding with Kilmonger over his best friend. W'Kabi would go on a path of redemption to make things right. He also supports Kasper as a Black Panther and tries to help Shuri as Black Panther and Queen of Wakanda.
Martin Freeman as Everett Ross
Daniel Kaluuya as W'Kabi
Danny Glover as Changamire
Lakeith Stanfield as Achebe
Thandie Newton as Bast
Leon Robinson as Jonahthan Cole
Ashley Judd as Ruth Cole
John Boyega as Mandla
Now that's my cast and now here are my ideas on how they can make Black Panther 2 without T'Challa and how to honour Chadwick Boseman.
5. It needs to be passing of the torch and a coming of age story.
4. Having an outsider becoming Black Panther would be very interesting idea.
3. We can have two Black Panthers in the MCU
2. How did T'Challa die?

If they recast I stand by that John David Washington is the right actor to continue the role of Black Panther.
1. Honour Chadwick Boseman with this film.
(Google Image)
Chadwick should be honoured in the film and this film should be tribute film for him like Furious 7 was to Paul Walker. The film should still focus on telling a great story and with great characters but we need to see a tribute to Chadwick and to honour what he brought to the role of T'Challa. Though it is likely Marvel Studios will pay tribute to him.
I don't know what Marvel is going to do but this an idea if they go with killing him off screen or if they re cast the role. But if they do kill him off please make sure his death has meaning and it makes sense and it's not disrespectful. I also recommend they give T'Challa a kid like they did in the comics because it would give Shuri reason not to give up as Black Panther because her nephew is the last thing she has to remember her brother by. I do think that would be a very good idea.
Forever Our King.
So that's my Black Panther 2 Fan Cast and Ideas Version 2. Let me know what you think and I know everyone has talked about what's the best approach for this series after Chadwick's death.
