10 Actors Who Could Play Black Panther In The Sequel

10. Old: Michael B. Jordan

One of the most requested options going around is also one of the least likely. Fans ADORED Killmonger, with many ranking him as Marvel's absolute best villain above foes like Thanos, Loki, and the Vulture. Some even argued that he stole the show from the film's main character. That's a testament not only to the first Black Panther film's writing and direction, but - above all - Michael B. Jordan's skill as an actor.

When Boseman tragically passed away, many fans took to the internet to petition for Killmonger to be revived with the Infinity Stones, and for him to come back a changed man. The big problem with that? The Infinity Stones were destroyed! Thanos said so himself. So reviving Killmonger with the Stones just isn't possible.

That doesn't mean he can't be brought back in some other capacity though. Perhaps he could have a continued presence on the astral plane, where T'Challa (or another character) can commune with him.

Still, he seemed pretty definitively dead at the end of the first film. It's likely meant to stay that way, but given Boseman's passing, it's possible that the writers will find a way to revive the beloved character.
