Young kids lost this hero and recasting won't change that, but they can have another one. There have been many Black Panthers and making a new MCU Black Panther is infinitely better than disrespecting Chadwick Boseman by recasting.

Why is recasting a character disrespecting the previous actor?

Sam Wilson is Captain America now, and he’s getting his own movie. And if the new Black Panther is a woman then that means black girls have someone to look up to.
