SHOW NOTES
This week, Community Content Producer NextGenNerd25 submitted a topic for us to chat about on the recasting of Chadwick Boseman as T’Challa in the MCU. There are two sides to the argument with fans starting a petition in favor of recasting (with over 60,000 signatures) and Marvel holding strong on their “we will not recast” stance. Is recasting disrespectful to the legacy Chadwick left behind? Or is it the best thing to do to keep T’Challa’s character actively involved in the MCU? That’s what we want to talk about this week on the Free Play Podcast.
The Free Play Podcast is live on Twitch.tv/lovethynerd Fridays at 3p Eastern. Be sure to check us out while we are recording and be a part of creating the show in real-time! This is also the place to be if you are into bonus stories and extra content!
