With whispers persisting about Damson Idris‘s rumored selection for the upcoming Black Panther in the MCU, internet Marvel enthusiasts have been vocalizing their opinions on this prospective move. Although many ardent MCU followers appear to back the 33-year-old actor’s appointment as the Wakandan superhero, there are others who voice concerns about Marvel attempting to fill the late Chadwick Boseman’s legendary role with a new casting choice.
Fans react to Damson Idris’ Black Panther casting possibility
With whispers suggesting that an F1 actor might step into the role of Black Panther next, enthusiasts are expressing their thoughts on this potential casting decision through various social media platforms.
Two main hypotheses regarding Damson Idris’ casting as the African superhero are:
1. He might be playing T’Challa’s son, or
2. He could portray a completely different version of Black Panther.
Referencing the comic book character K’Shamba, who was the future king of Wakanda, one fan on what used to be Twitter posted an excerpt featuring this potential Black Panther before commenting that Damson Idris indeed seems like the most fitting choice for the role.
He really is the obvious choice

As a fellow enthusiast, let me express my ardent hope that the casting is indeed true, for if it is, this would be nothing short of extraordinary! Additionally, a glimpse at some concept art featuring Damson Idris as Black Panther has only served to further fuel my excitement about this potential development.

Another Marvel Cinematic Universe enthusiast has echoed this sentiment, stating they’d be thrilled if Idris Elba could portray a different dimension’s Black Panther who joins the MCU.
Yet, not every response to the speculation has been favorable. A user from X pointed out that Marvel might want to avoid tampering with the legacy Chadwick Boseman created as Black Panther. They emphasized, “Perhaps it’s best to let the character rest. It was portrayed by an exceptional actor who left a profound legacy that no one can or should attempt to replicate.
After Damson Idris responded ambiguously, saying “Yes-no,” regarding discussions he might have had with Marvel over potentially portraying Black Panther in a future Marvel production, he fueled fan excitement by stating that he would be open to taking on the superhero role if Marvel Studios were to approach him.
