This just got hilarious.
What's the point of Infinity War if you are going to kill the Avengers in Black Panther?

Maybe Marvel could pull off a better movie than 1 & 2 (who knows if they even wanted to, but I'd prefer a Netflix show anyway), but a better Blade? Doubt it.
What this guy said, he was incredible in Creed.

Alil disappointed if he's playing a villain would love for him to stick around into MCU. Does Black panther not have some who usually sticks around? Like war machine is to iron man etc?(don't know much about panther)

Depending on the role, he could do really well in the universe. I was thinking the Non Compete would still be in effect by the time production starts, but maybe it was just a one year thing and he wasn't signed for more movies (or maybe he was and the sequel's cancellation freed him).
It's unknown if that's the case. I have read that Legendary and/or Fox may own some rights to Namor, but it's all hearsay. What's known is Marvel can't make a solo Namor (or Hulk movie). Well they can, but Universal would have first rights to distribute it, at this point. Disney is not going to allow that. Universal can't make a Namor or Hulk movie without Marvel's approval. Marvel can use Hulk in any of their MCU movies (presumably without using "Hulk" in the title). We don't know if the latter applies to Namor as well, so far, he hasn't been mentioned in any MCU movie.

People suggesting white wolf. Is white wolf not... White? I could never tell in the Priest run if he was white or just Terrence Howard.

What if he's Michael Jordan and T'Challa dunks on him?
White. His parents crash-landed and died in Wakanda, and he survived and was adopted by King T'Chaka.
Then T'Challa was born and he suddenly became even more of an outsider.

what if he's Blue Marvel
Maybe. Remember, Marvel has countries like Atlantis, occasionally Attilan and shit. Wakanda is up there, though.

AY I CALLED IT.
Seriously though, don't make him a one off.

Weren't there rumors of Stallone in GotG v2? Wonder how Rocky got into space...

He had to go to space to fight the robot Dolph Lundgren trained with in Rocky IV.
would totally miss the point of the character.

He screams Erik Killmonger to me. Could tie perfectly in, with Serkis's Ulysses Klaw.

Yeah IIRC the white wolf not being of the same race as the rest of the Wakandans is an important part of his character, I don't think it can be MBJ. Also wasn't White Wolf older? Or am I remembering that wrong? I remember a guy in his late 30s and clearly older than BP.
That is the side thing about Hollywood they don't really have the range of minory actors they have for white people.
Morris Chestnut?

I could see it.
Given that there's about... five guys who could conceivably do it on the Hollywood roladex.
If Elba wasn't already involved I'd probably say him.
Maybe Ejiofor?

Cool. hopefully it's not some minor supporting role and he gets to be the main villain or something instead. Love the partnership between him and Coogler, thought fruitvale was just aiight but creed rocked.

Yeah with some camera work, cause Blue Marvel should be massive

I mean it's gonna take some shifty camera work, not a whole lot of guys that can fill the suit unless they go after new blood.

Yeah Wakanda has the quantity and the quality, definitely tops.
Latveria's problem is that Doom keeps hoarding everything in his castle.
Attilan has some crazy tech but they don't really focus on it besides Maximus, they probably got(had) the most firepower thanks to Black Bolt powered weapons. Took them no time flat to subdue a super advanced alien empire and declare Black Bolt the new king.

I'm not familiar with Blue Marvel but if he's a big muscular guy, what about Michael Jai White?
I only feel a little bad. Not everyone can like everything.

Given that I have no context on the character, can you elaborate?

He's Marvel's Superman, who quit being a government Superman because he wanted to go fight for what he believe to be right (civil rights).
He's gotta be more than just a buff guy who can make quips. He's gotta be everything that DC's Jesus-Supes failed to be.
