But of course, he was already in the series, and I don't know how you get around recasting the actor who played the villain in the previous movie as the hero in the sequal. I know Coogler is a genius, but...

Besides him, maybe they choose a woman, but someone more bankable than Letitia?

I'm sure Feige wanted to center BP as one of the central figures of the new Phase, post-Downey. But when Chadwick died, it took the wind under his sails. And once it seemed like things had rebalanced, Majors' incident happened and they're now back in crisis mode.

The elephant in the room is the massive amount of money Disney leveraged in the merger with Fox and the creative handcuffs on its content that resulted.

Maybe if Disney was in its previous form, it would be less vulnerable to pressure and influence from Wall Street. They'd be able to be more ambitious or risky with their choices. Now, they have to do everything to justify that decision to merge with Fox at all turns.

It's ironic because we were all salivating at the potential of merging the IP of both studios. Now, it's unclear if the public will get anything that matches our appetite.
