There is a demand for Ryan Gosling to assume the part, but why are certain individuals now urging for the replacement of T’Challa, the initial Black Panther in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, following Chadwick Boseman’s demise?

This was done to portray T’Challa as a character in order to gain support from an online petition with over 60,000 signatures. Earlier this year, Marvel witnessed a surge of support from fans of the Black Panther franchise. It was a way to pay tribute to Chadwick Boseman.

The trailer for Forever Wakanda: Black Panther has been released at San Diego Comic Con, sparking discussions about the potential actors who could take on the titular role.

However, one individual you may not have contemplated to be included in the combination is Ryan Gosling.

When did the Ryan Gosling as Black Panther discussion originate?

If anyone were to take on the role of Black Panther, the discussion would arise shortly after Chadwick Boseman’s passing on August 28, 2020.

Within 24 hours of his death, a petition was allegedly initiated demanding for Ryan Gosling to be replaced as Black Panther.

Inevitably, there was pushback on this petition due to its timing, as it was made in poor taste and judgement. However, the idea of Ryan Gosling as Black Panther has persisted in some fans’ minds, and Marvel fans have continued to joke about him taking on the role. This has only been amplified with the release of the new Black Panther: Wakanda Forever trailer.

Who could be wearing the Black Panther suit in the new trailer?

Some internet users might be trying to fool you into thinking that Ryan Gosling is an actual contender for the new Black Panther, but there are credible theories floating around online.

The theory that T’Challa’s sister, Shuri (Letitia Wright), will be the one in the suit is the leading one. In the comics, when T’Challa is put into a coma by Doctor Doom, Shuri takes on the role of Black Panther. It is known in the original comics that Shuri possesses all the abilities of the Black Panther. Therefore, it seems that she is suitable for the role.

Another hypothesis suggested suggests that Nakia (Lupita Nyong’o) could assume the position, influenced by her deceased lover’s bravery.

Ryan Gosling as Black Panther memes revived as new trailer drops

In the new movie, there is no indication of who will assume the role. Nevertheless, the initial preview for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever acknowledges the absence of T’Challa and, consequently, Chadwick Boseman.

We are given a glimpse of someone donning the suit and wielding claws in a brief, one-second clip. The footage implies that one of the characters will assume this role, but the identity remains a mystery. Film executives are remaining tight-lipped in order to avoid revealing any hints or clues.

After the ongoing joke that Ryan Gosling will be the individual wearing the suit, memes have inundated Twitter.
