Sterling K. Brown’s Previous MCU Role Makes His T’Challa Recasting Easier

Sterling K. Brown Already Appeared As A Wakandan Royal

The fact that Sterling K. Brown has already made his MCU debut as a fellow member of Wakanda ’s Royal Family signify it would n’t be too far - fetched to recast him as the Wakandan Prince - turned - King , T’Challa . Marvel will seemingly introduce a stochastic variable of T’Challa from across the multiverse , and it ’s very potential that one variant somewhere out there looks like his Uncle N’Jobu , rather than the late Chadwick Boseman . This would make Sterling K. Brown ’s transition from N’Jobu to T’Challa very easy , and perhaps create some fun conflict for the residents ofEarth-616 ’s Wakanda .

Marvel Studios has recently been report to be reforge T’Challa , and the unexampled Black Panther could look in the MCU much rather than anyone expects .

It would make the most sense for Marvel Studios to bring out its novel T’Challa in Phase 6 ’s upcomingAvengers : DoomsdayorAvengers : Secret Wars , perhaps congeal up the fresh Cuban sandwich for a lead role inRyan Coogler ’s in - developmentBlack Panther 3 . It would be outstanding to see Coogler and Sterling K. Brown reunite in the MCU , especially if the latter is cast as the dealership ’s new T’Challa , long time after his brief debut inBlack Panther . It ’s a improbable order for anyone to take over the role from Chadwick Boseman , but Sterling K. Brown would be a fantastic choice .
