I think of the five mentioned in this article Chadwick Boseman is a good shout. My suggestion would be Taye Diggs.

I think Anthony Mackie could really do the job. he's charismatic and could be an action super hero. Also I think Tyrese Gibson would be a potential actor for that part. just a thought…

I think you guys should check out the guy from "A Medeas Christmas" Shannon Williams he played Bobby. He has the height, look and size.

None of these convince me, I'd like to see Michael Jai White as the Black Panther, he would really kick some ass.

out of these five guys I would go with Chadwick Boseman, but if it were really up to me I would choose Aldis Hodge, he is 26 so he is young and has an athletic build, he could handle playing the role for years, and even for 26 he has a somewhat mature look to him and on one of the episodes of Leverage he did an African accent and I thought he pulled it off perfectly, the guy's got everything except for the star power

As for Mechad Brooks, I don't think he should play the Black panther, although I think he would make a great Falcon for the Captain America sequel

Wakanda could be depicted realistically as one of many African nations exploited by U.S. foreign policy and corporations.

I want idris alba to play him but otherwise Chadwick Boseman looks good as well.

Dayo Okeniyi from the hungar games he might not be well known but neither was chris hemsworth alot of the other actors are good and all but most either look old or are old i also think John Boyega could really pull it off plus it doesn't hurt that he's kinda like a young denzel, Michael B. Jordan would be a cool choice also he has a wide resume ultimately i think these guys are young fresh faces that given the opportunity could really make something of this role!

I think Mitchell Adams should play Black Panther. He has the looks, the height and the talent.

How about Idris Elba

The article only mentioned 4 actors…… Anyway, Michael Jai White is T'Challa all day. The charisma, the athleticism, and the overall presence make the obvious best choice. But then again, Marvel never makes the "obvious best choice" which makes them so good at what they do. Who thought Robert Downey Jr. was the best choice to don the armor of Iron Man. With that being said, he was perfect for the role.

I would add Mehcad Brooks (from True Blood and USA's 'Necessary Roughness) to this list. Not such a great actor, but has an amazing athletic build. And has the boy to man look that would be good for the character.
Although, I do echo that having an actor with recent African roots would be most believable.

I can't think of anyone better than Aldis Hodge for this part. On Leverage and other shows, he's posed as everything. He has an onscreen presence that is good for comedy or drama. I would love to see him interact with the Avengers someday! Not only is he a gorgeous man with a perfect body, but he is multi-talented with everything from stick-fighting to hockey. He's so versatile and has played everything from a gang member to a soldier to hacker who also grifts as everything from Saudi princes to African students to English business men all with spot-on accents. Next Marvel superhero? The Black Panther? He could totally rock that. 🙂

Djimon Hounsou 15 years ago (roughly around the same time as Gladiator) would be perfect. Also, he PLAYED Black Panther in the motion comic series. I say take a slightly riskier route: we know Marvel would need to do an origin story with their characters but what if it were a reminiscing sort of thing. Hounsou can still play a mid-30 year old (hey, ask Jeremy Renner. He's in his 40's) so what if John Boyega played a Young T'Challa, learning his role and embracing the mantle and then Djimon playing present day T'Challa, around 32-35 years old?

Three really stand out as big choices. John Boyega, Chadwick Boseman & Anthony Mackie. I would go with either Boyega or Boseman mainly because they are young and have star potential. Potentially they could be big blockbuster stars if their career goes right.
