The new Black Panther movie is set to hit theatres Friday November 11th but will be missing the original Black Panther Chadwick Boseman from the film. Chadwick Boseman tragically passed away from cancer leaving behind a legacy that will last a life time and cementing himself as the one and only Black Panther that kids all around the world look up too.

So without Chadwick in this film many fans are wondering how Marvel have decided to take this storyline. Marvel studios has confirmed that the death of Chadwick Boseman will be directly addressed in the new movie as his character T’Challa will be killed off. But without the Black Panther that fans know and love in the film, fans were left puzzled at first as to how this storyline would continue.
Marvel provided the answer in this movies trailers though: A new Black Panther.

This idea was met with lots of hesitancy at first as it was argued that Chadwick Boseman can not be replaced. That’s not what this idea is trying to do though, and Marvel isn’t shying away from Chadwick Boseman being the true black panther, they are simply introducing this new Black Panther as someone who is carrying on the legacy of Chadwick.
It will be interesting to see the direction this movie takes and if fans are happy with the job Marvel does to pay tribute to Boseman. If done right this movie has a easy track for success in the box office, but if not met with great initial reviews, Marvel could have a very tough time winning the fans back after this movie.
Go see Black Panther in theatres November 11th!
