Ryan Gosling: Marvel Fans' Dream Black Panther for Vol. 3 After Comic Controversy!

Marvel fans wasted no time putting Ryan Gosling at the top of their dream cast list for Black Panther 3 after the latest comic storyline introduced a white version of the iconic superhero

Marvel's Most Shocking Move Yet: A White Black Panther?

For those who may have missed it (where have you been?), the latest comic book series introduces a new character named Ketema, the son of T'Challa, the original Black Panther. But here's where things get interesting: Ketema is not only the heir apparent to the throne but also a white version of the iconic superhero.

Yes, you read that right - white. As in, with blond hair and blue eyes. The drama is palpable as fans are still trying to wrap their heads around this plot twist. How could T'Challa have a white son? Wasn't he married to Storm, the lovely X-Men superheroine?

The role of T'Challa was famously portrayed by the late Chadwick Boseman in the first two Black Panther films

Theories are running wild online, with some speculating that Ketema's mom might not be Monica Lynne after all. Nope, they're pointing fingers at Nicole Adams - a character who was believed to have bitten the dust back in 2000 but seems to be alive and kicking (or should we say, mask-free) again.

But let's get to the juicy part: fans are going wild over the possibility of Ryan Gosling taking on the role of Black Panther. We're talking serious fan service here - people are already calling for him to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe as the new face of Wakanda.

Imagine it: Ryan Gosling, dashing in his full Black Panther suit, saving the world one cape at a time. It's almost too good to be true. And yet... it just might happen. After all, Gosling has been rumored to be interested in joining the MCU for years, and this latest twist could be just the ticket.

Now, with Black Panther 3 reportedly in development and the character's legacy evolving in the comics, fans have taken to social media to suggest Gosling¿best known as Barbie¿s Ken¿as a potential successor

Of course, not everyone is thrilled about the new direction Marvel is taking. Some fans are expressing their outrage on social media, calling out the creators for "whitewashing" the Black Panther legacy. One fan even went so far as to say that Christopher Priest, the African American writer behind the comic book series, would never do such a thing - but, alas, it seems we can't always believe what we read online.

As the debate rages on, one thing is clear: Marvel's decision to introduce a white Black Panther has left fans speechless. Will they stick with this new direction or go back to the drawing board? One thing's for sure - we'll be watching with bated breath as this story unfolds.

In the meantime, let's get back to Ryan Gosling. Could he really be the next Black Panther? We're talking serious casting magic here - and it just might happen. After all, who else but Gosling could pull off a cape, shield, and mask combo like that?

So, what do you think, folks? Will Marvel stick with this new direction or go back to the original plan? And more importantly, would Ryan Gosling make an amazing Black Panther? Let us know in the comments!
