"If Marvel Studios removes T'Challa, it would be at the expense of the audiences (especially Black boys and men) who saw themselves in him," he said.
E-Man thinks that recasting T'Challa will be good for the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and Chadwick Boseman.
"This petition is merely asking to continue the portrayal of T'Challa in the MCU. #RecastTChalla is a call to fulfill the role that Chadwick Boseman worked so hard for the world to see," said E-Man.
