John Boyega, best known for his portrayal of Finn in the "Star Wars" sequel trilogy, is another strong contender for the role of T'Challa. At 32, Boyega has grown beyond his early career, shedding the burden of franchise typecasting and establishing himself as a versatile actor capable of both charismatic and nuanced performances.
His recent turn in the hit film "The Woman King," where he starred alongside Viola Davis, showcased his ability to command attention on screen, proving that he has the range to take on a character as complex as T'Challa. Despite his vocal frustrations with "Star Wars," Boyega has shown time and again that he can handle roles with gravitas, and with his potential to bring new life to the MCU, he could be exactly what the next phase of Black Panther needs.
