Chadwick Boseman Reportedly Fired From Black Panther

Rumor Mill Has It That Chadwick Boseman Has Been Fired From Black Panther

Actor Chadwick Boseman lost a massive amount of weight in recent months. According to reports, the Marvel star may have lost as much as 50 pounds, and is now just 130 pounds.

Chadwick showed his new gaunt face and body on IG Live last week and fans were quick to notice changes in the actor’s physical appearance.

Following his drastic weight loss, there are rumors swirling around that the actor may have been “fired” from the new Black Panther movie. The rumor, which started on a very popular and reliable movie industry message board, claims that Chadwick is out.

It also says that he’ll be replaced by a “Black” version of Prince Namor and Shuri – who will take the reigns as Black Panther in the new movies, which will involve the Avengers, Fantastic Four, and the X-Men.

According to the rumor mill, back in January Chadwick Boseman was allegedly not happy with Marvel and new director Kevin Feige began contemplating replacing the actor as Black Panther with the female version, Shuri, played by Letitia Wright.

Now there are new rumors that double down on the original one, that Marvel is going to replace Chadwick Boseman as Black Panther, as the “premiere” Marvel black superhero, with a black version of Namor.

It’s likely that Chadwick Boseman will not be Black Panther in future Marvel films. Folks online are beginning to question if this is why Chadwick has been dropping a ton of weight recently.
