In a surprising turn of events, Marvel is reportedly considering Aldis Hodge to fill in the shoes of Black Panther. A move that has surprised many but angered no one. Since the death of Chadwick Boseman, the role of T'Challa/Black Panther has been vacant, with Marvel finding no actor that can fit the iconic role.
The one choice that could have fit the role of Black Panther perfectly was the main villain in the first movie. But now it seems like Marvel might have found a new successor to the throne of Wakanda. It is none other than Aldis Hodge. A man who played Hawkman for team DC has now decided to lose his wings and wear the Vibranium suit.
Since the news came out, people have welcomed it with their arms wide open. People like the idea of a new Black Panther and Aldis as its face. One change everyone knows that Hodge will bring is that instead of being a brooding king, this new one will be cool and suave.
