1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,700
Obviously in the MCU having some of the characters they've put in there have been just straight up amazing black panther

2
00:00:07,900 --> 00:00:14,500
Was masterfully played by Chadwick Boseman prior to his very unexpected and very

3
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:18,380
Excuse me untimely death from cancer

4
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:23,480
Initially after his death the studio

5
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:29,500
Said we're not gonna recast we don't want to we don't think that's honoring Chadwick's legacy

6
00:00:29,700 --> 00:00:34,040
We don't want to do it. We think it's disrespectful to Chadwick Boseman

7
00:00:34,060 --> 00:00:39,100
So they released Black Panther 2 and in Black Panther 2 they made sure he the Black Panther

8
00:00:40,060 --> 00:00:42,820
Because that's well, that's what Ryan Coogler wrote

9
00:00:44,620 --> 00:00:52,620
But it appears that Disney and the folks over at Marvel may have changed their mind so this broke yesterday

10
00:00:52,620 --> 00:00:54,460
um

11
00:00:54,460 --> 00:00:56,460
over at the insniter

12
00:00:56,620 --> 00:00:58,620
so

13
00:00:58,580 --> 00:01:01,080
He's really good at

14
00:01:01,860 --> 00:01:05,900
He's generally pretty right. He's one of the very few like online only

15
00:01:06,780 --> 00:01:09,380
Guys who generally gets it correct

16
00:01:11,020 --> 00:01:15,900
He's saying that Marvel is going to recast the role of T'Challa

17
00:01:15,900 --> 00:01:25,900
With a new actor what's most interesting about that is apparently they've already offered it to somebody and they got turned down

18
00:01:27,780 --> 00:01:34,020
Right they offered it to a how does he quote it here a prominent

19
00:01:35,500 --> 00:01:37,500
black actor and

20
00:01:40,300 --> 00:01:42,300
They said no

21
00:01:42,300 --> 00:01:47,780
They didn't want to halt their own career momentum by trying to step into Chadwick Boseman's shoes

22
00:01:48,380 --> 00:01:50,380
Is what Jeff Snyder saying

23
00:01:53,260 --> 00:01:57,020
So I find this interesting for a couple of reasons right

24
00:01:57,660 --> 00:02:00,500
One I think that that it kind of goes to show that

25
00:02:01,060 --> 00:02:08,380
Their experiment making sure the Black Panther just did work, right? I think that that's what they're seeing

26
00:02:08,380 --> 00:02:13,380
There was also some issues with the actress who was playing Shuri when they were filming

27
00:02:14,380 --> 00:02:16,380
That's a whole other ball of kittens

28
00:02:19,380 --> 00:02:23,100
And I think they see with Secret Wars coming up and all the weird multiversal

29
00:02:24,380 --> 00:02:27,980
That it's gonna be easier to explain a recast now

30
00:02:28,980 --> 00:02:33,340
So here's my my two questions to you UJ one

31
00:02:34,380 --> 00:02:36,940
Do you think it's a good idea to recast T'Challa?

32
00:02:36,940 --> 00:02:38,940
and

33
00:02:38,940 --> 00:02:40,940
If they do

34
00:02:40,940 --> 00:02:45,940
Who do you think? What are some some names you think would be good for that role?

35
00:02:48,940 --> 00:02:50,940
Wow

36
00:02:50,940 --> 00:02:52,940
Oh

37
00:02:52,940 --> 00:02:54,940
Gosh, okay

38
00:02:54,940 --> 00:02:56,940
Wow

39
00:02:56,940 --> 00:02:59,940
That's those are some big questions there. Um, I

40
00:02:59,940 --> 00:03:03,940
Think it's very hard to

41
00:03:03,940 --> 00:03:05,940
Hard to

42
00:03:06,580 --> 00:03:14,780
Continue the I don't know the Marvel cinematic universe without a superhero like him

43
00:03:15,860 --> 00:03:18,180
I do you feel like it's a little too soon

44
00:03:20,100 --> 00:03:22,100
It's been five years

45
00:03:22,140 --> 00:03:24,940
Five years really that's about he died in 2020

46
00:03:25,940 --> 00:03:27,940
Wow, I did not know that okay

47
00:03:28,820 --> 00:03:30,820
Time flies

48
00:03:30,820 --> 00:03:36,820
Time flies when you're having amazing amazing politics stories like we are right now. Um

49
00:03:38,820 --> 00:03:41,820
This is kind of this gets into

50
00:03:43,820 --> 00:03:45,820
Yeah, I

51
00:03:46,820 --> 00:03:49,820
This is a risk this is a huge risk which

52
00:03:51,820 --> 00:03:53,820
You kind of have to do in the business world

53
00:03:55,820 --> 00:03:58,820
The whole reason for instance why we are on Thursdays now

54
00:03:58,820 --> 00:04:00,820
Is because I am in a business

55
00:04:00,820 --> 00:04:02,820
strategy

56
00:04:02,820 --> 00:04:03,820
class

57
00:04:03,820 --> 00:04:05,820
or my MBA currently

58
00:04:05,820 --> 00:04:08,820
and we're talking a lot about like you have to

59
00:04:09,820 --> 00:04:13,820
Like strategy is all about like looking at the risk and then

60
00:04:13,820 --> 00:04:15,820
choosing

61
00:04:15,820 --> 00:04:19,820
Kind of like which risk you want to take on or a lot of times like

62
00:04:20,820 --> 00:04:24,820
What you don't want or like you choose not to do some things, right?

63
00:04:24,820 --> 00:04:25,820
So

64
00:04:25,820 --> 00:04:30,820
This is I think this is a huge risk on them that they're kind of like rolling the dice

65
00:04:30,820 --> 00:04:33,820
This is obviously part of their pretty big

66
00:04:33,820 --> 00:04:36,820
Hopefully well thought out strategy plan here

67
00:04:36,820 --> 00:04:38,820
I'm

68
00:04:38,820 --> 00:04:40,820
I don't know

69
00:04:41,820 --> 00:04:44,820
From a comic book point of view

70
00:04:44,820 --> 00:04:48,820
Like you said it does make sense to kind of recast now you can easily explain it away

71
00:04:50,820 --> 00:04:53,820
I think people are going to be tied to

72
00:04:53,820 --> 00:04:55,820
much right

73
00:04:55,820 --> 00:04:58,820
I think people are going to view this as like how can you replace them you know

74
00:05:01,820 --> 00:05:06,820
And like correct me if I'm wrong but I mean like yes we've had many Batman's throughout the years

75
00:05:07,820 --> 00:05:10,820
Even going all the way back to Adam West

76
00:05:11,820 --> 00:05:16,820
But we didn't really ever have a superhero die on us

77
00:05:17,820 --> 00:05:19,820
And then had to recast it

78
00:05:19,820 --> 00:05:23,820
Because of that so that they've

79
00:05:23,820 --> 00:05:25,820
They've done

80
00:05:25,820 --> 00:05:28,820
Four recastings major recastings in the MCU that I can think of

81
00:05:29,820 --> 00:05:34,820
And chat I see that question. I'm going to address that that question there and chat here in just a second

82
00:05:36,820 --> 00:05:38,820
So

83
00:05:40,820 --> 00:05:43,820
One so it within the the MCU

84
00:05:43,820 --> 00:05:46,820
The only other time they've recast

85
00:05:46,820 --> 00:05:49,820
Due to death is Thunderbolt Ross

86
00:05:50,820 --> 00:05:52,820
Because William Hurt died

87
00:05:52,820 --> 00:05:54,820
And so now

88
00:05:54,820 --> 00:05:59,820
Harrison Ford is taking on that character in the upcoming Falcon and the Winter Soldier movie

89
00:06:00,820 --> 00:06:01,820
Right

90
00:06:01,820 --> 00:06:07,820
And so that's the only other time they've had to recast due to death

91
00:06:08,820 --> 00:06:09,820
Right

92
00:06:09,820 --> 00:06:13,820
They recast in Roadie after Iron Man 1 to Don't Kill the Iron Man

93
00:06:13,820 --> 00:06:17,820
They recast in Roadie after Iron Man 1 to Don Cheadle which both from a

94
00:06:18,820 --> 00:06:20,820
Don't get me wrong I love

95
00:06:20,820 --> 00:06:23,820
God why can't I think it was named the guy who played Roadie in Iron Man 1

96
00:06:23,820 --> 00:06:25,820
He's great. He was amazing

97
00:06:25,820 --> 00:06:28,820
Apparently it was a contract issue

98
00:06:29,820 --> 00:06:34,820
Was why they recast it they just couldn't come to terms on the contract and that was the very beginning

99
00:06:34,820 --> 00:06:38,820
This was not like now when you sign an MCU contract as an actor now

100
00:06:38,820 --> 00:06:40,820
It's always a multi-film deal

101
00:06:40,820 --> 00:06:43,820
It's usually you're gonna headline two movies

102
00:06:43,820 --> 00:06:47,820
But you're appearing in at least four more or something along those lines

103
00:06:47,820 --> 00:06:50,820
Right those guys don't sign single film deals

104
00:06:50,820 --> 00:06:52,820
That was the very beginning of the MCU

105
00:06:52,820 --> 00:06:56,820
So they didn't know they had to get these guys on multi-film deals right out the gate and stuff like that

106
00:06:56,820 --> 00:07:00,820
You know because the MCU was new this was they didn't even know who was gonna work

107
00:07:02,820 --> 00:07:05,820
So that's the only time the other so that's a recast

108
00:07:05,820 --> 00:07:09,820
And then technically Mark Ruffalo is a recast

109
00:07:09,820 --> 00:07:14,820
Because the Ed Norton incredible Hulk is in the MCU everybody forgets about it

110
00:07:14,820 --> 00:07:16,820
It kind of flies past everybody

111
00:07:17,820 --> 00:07:20,820
Post credits right William Hurtson that is Thunderbolt Ross

112
00:07:20,820 --> 00:07:23,820
Tony Stark shows up in the post credits

113
00:07:23,820 --> 00:07:29,820
They recast Ed Norton to Mark Ruffalo again pretty good recasting

114
00:07:29,820 --> 00:07:31,820
I was I was fine with that recasting

115
00:07:31,820 --> 00:07:34,820
As much as I again I love Edward Norton

116
00:07:34,820 --> 00:07:36,820
I think he's a great actor

117
00:07:36,820 --> 00:07:39,820
I thought he was a fun bruise I thought he did a good job in that Hulk movie

118
00:07:43,820 --> 00:07:47,820
As far as whether it's to I just I don't know

119
00:07:47,820 --> 00:07:50,820
I know that their experiment was sure he didn't work

120
00:07:50,820 --> 00:07:51,820
Yeah

121
00:07:52,820 --> 00:07:53,820
It just

122
00:07:54,820 --> 00:07:55,820
It didn't it didn't work

123
00:07:57,820 --> 00:07:59,820
I think it's a great actor

124
00:07:59,820 --> 00:08:01,820
And then

125
00:08:01,820 --> 00:08:04,820
Chats asking why are they trying to recast rather than you as AI

126
00:08:04,820 --> 00:08:11,820
Because quite frankly I've looked at some of the AI output stuff and I think that Disney's at the point where it's just a it's just not good enough

127
00:08:12,820 --> 00:08:18,820
Right the AI that's out there just is not good enough to do what they wanted to do most AI stuff I've seen

128
00:08:18,820 --> 00:08:21,820
Still looks really uncanny Valley janky it just doesn't look right

129
00:08:22,820 --> 00:08:25,820
And to I don't think Disney wants the controversy

130
00:08:25,820 --> 00:08:27,820
Yeah, they just don't

131
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,960
They are going to be very careful about their use of AI

132
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:41,820
Because they don't want the controversy and you're coming back to the show the unethical it's not again to them

133
00:08:41,820 --> 00:08:44,380
I don't it's less about ethics. It's more about PR

134
00:08:45,780 --> 00:08:50,880
And I think the PR of trying to create T'Challa whole cloth out of

135
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:58,920
Composite Chadwick Boseman a I don't know if they have the rights to do it because there is like you have to buy the rights

136
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,160
So for example

137
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,320
James Earl Jones

138
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,320
Sold the rights to his voice

139
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:07,840
to Disney

140
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,040
To use for Darth Vader

141
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,200
Right, so if they produce something

142
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:15,800
Where Darth Vader's in it?

143
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:21,640
They will not recast it. They will use composited James Earl Jones AI dialogue

144
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:26,680
To do the voice because James Earl Jones sold them the rights to do so I

145
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,880
Don't know if Chadwick Boseman's estate did the same I doubt it

146
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:40,000
But yeah, I think from a PR standpoint, I think it's a bad idea

147
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:43,800
Would you agree with that?

148
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:51,400
Yeah, also, so I just like I think it's just really expensive like Marvel movies are already expensive

149
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,540
adding the extra cost of having to

150
00:09:55,560 --> 00:09:56,640
AI

151
00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:00,740
Flash CGI someone else's face on someone else like

152
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,480
That has to be kind of expensive

153
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:11,120
Um, so yeah, I think it's just like easier just to recast if you are going to do like go that route, but

154
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,520
Yeah, I just don't I just don't know it's

155
00:10:17,680 --> 00:10:21,800
It's gonna be very interesting to see how they kind of pull that off

156
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:29,080
Your second question of who yeah, gosh, I don't even know I know

157
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,080
Like

158
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:35,080
Like if I was in a very similar situation

159
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:41,680
Yeah, I 100% would turn it down turn it down because it's it's just

160
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:47,760
It's fun risky as an actor to kind of try to do that. That's

161
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,800
It's

162
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:52,800
I don't know

163
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,680
So here's a couple that I've thought of off the top of my head

164
00:10:55,680 --> 00:10:58,560
Number one on my list is John David Washington

165
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,360
He was the lead in Tenet

166
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:11,480
Okay, yes. Yes. He's on ballers as well. I think he was in black Klansman

167
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:14,760
Right. He was in the creator

168
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,440
He's Denzel Washington's son

169
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:24,880
Which again part of the reasons came I was watching the show and they were talking about this because Denzel

170
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:28,000
Let's slip that Ryan Cougars writing him a role in Black Panther 3

171
00:11:29,560 --> 00:11:31,840
Which is coming after secret wars at some point

172
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:39,840
Right, so I think it would be fun. I think he's a really good actor. I think again with the you know with the Marvel

173
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,120
Training, you know what I mean

174
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:49,120
I think that he could do it. I really do I

175
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,160
Don't want somebody too old

176
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:59,000
You know what I mean, I want somebody kind of young

177
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:03,880
You know

178
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,120
I'm all for them finding a

179
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,120
a a a

180
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:14,840
New actor

181
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:19,280
Here was one somebody brought up in the chat on the show that I watch and I'm curious what your thoughts on this are

182
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:21,520
Michael B. Jordan

183
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:27,040
So that's who I was like literally just looking at because he was kill longer in Black Panther 1

184
00:12:28,680 --> 00:12:35,040
Yeah, but multiverse multiverse right in another universe. Did he become the Black Panther?

185
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:36,640
I

186
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:38,640
We know he can carry a movie

187
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:40,960
Yeah, I

188
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:47,440
Kind of I kind of like that kind of oh in this universe. He is Black Panther. I think that's a fun little spin

189
00:12:47,440 --> 00:13:03,960
Yeah, I really I think that's not a bad spin again John David Washington's probably the one if you're gonna get like somebody relatively well

190
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,000
known

191
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:11,120
Right, that's probably the direction that I would go I

192
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:15,800
Mean but you need somebody who can carry a movie and Chadwick could do and again

193
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:20,400
I'm curious. I wish Jeff Snyder had found out who turned it down

194
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:27,040
Here's the thing he may know who turned it down. He may not just have put it into his article

195
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:38,160
You know

196
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:43,880
I mean now give credit to the Marvel casting department. They're really good at what they do

197
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,920
They have been really really on point as far as

198
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:55,640
As far as casting people they there have been very few times in Marvel like movies where I'm like that was miscast

199
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:57,800
You know what I mean

200
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:02,560
Like can you think of any off the top of your head where they really screwed the casting up

201
00:14:02,560 --> 00:14:05,880
For their main characters

202
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:10,840
I can't

203
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:16,480
Chat let me help me out here if you think if you could think of some because for their main like mainline characters

204
00:14:16,680 --> 00:14:18,920
I think they've knocked it out of the park every time

205
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,320
Yeah

206
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:39,240
Yeah, yeah, I can't think of anything you know who might be able to do it John Boyega

207
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:49,560
I'd be willing to give him a shot

208
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:51,560
I

209
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:55,880
Be willing to give John Boyega a shot I

210
00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:03,640
Think he got kind of the short end of the stick with Star Wars. I think John Boyega could I'd give him a shot as Black Panther maybe

211
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:06,840
Yeah, I'm just not sure I

212
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:18,520
And I do kind of I'm kind of wondering about this like Hayden Christensen has said that like Star Wars ruined his film career

213
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:24,680
But now he's come back. He is coming back. He has I thought he did great and Obi-Wan

214
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:29,480
Yeah, I agree, but that's another Star Wars movie and it's okay

215
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:34,680
When Star Wars came out

216
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:39,360
Like the critics like ruin like Hayden Christensen

217
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:47,280
Oh, yeah, I ate him up saying though acting was horrible. He was horrible like Star Wars fans love him now

218
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:50,240
Now they do see everybody forgets

219
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,080
Everybody wants to forgets

220
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,360
Everybody crapped on the prequels

221
00:15:56,040 --> 00:16:03,640
Everybody crapped on the prequels when they came out believe me. I remember I was there for the deep magic dude people were upset

222
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:06,920
right

223
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:11,520
They were upset with a lot of things short shit um

224
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,000
He's a jar jar being

225
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:20,640
Yeah, um anyway back to Black Panther I again I I think that I

226
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,960
Think they've got a tall order Marvel's done a good job casting in the past

227
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,600
But yeah, this one's this one's risky

228
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:35,120
Yeah, I do think if you're gonna keep the Black Panther character in there you should be cast

229
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:37,640
Yes, I agree

230
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:42,920
You know, but stepping into that. It's like the same as like replacing rubber Downey Jr

231
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:44,920
Um, it

232
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:50,240
It's not going. Yeah, I don't know. Anyway folks. Let us know down in the comments

233
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,600
Who would you like to see as the new Black Panther? What should they do?

234
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:58,520
Is there any actress you like for the role or do you think she gets kind of like quietly dropped the character?

235
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:13,520
Let us know down in the comments below. You
