Content creator Gerry Otim, who reviews films and TV shows on TikTok, told BBC Newsbeat Jonsson is a “really exciting young actor” who he sees as “one of the best” out there. <\/p>\n
“When he performs, you can see there’s an emotional intelligence and subtlety to what he’s bringing to screen,” he said.<\/p>\n
“Every performance feels deeply human, even though he might be playing different roles.<\/p>\n
“From The Long Walk, where he’s such a sort of charming and charismatic character, to Rye Lane, where there’s a sort of emotional vulnerability to the character. <\/p>\n
“He’s supremely talented.” <\/p>\n
Some fans believed British actor Damson Idris, who starred alongside Brad Pitt in the F1 movie, would be selected for the Black Panther role. <\/p>\n
Otim says he thinks Jonsson is a “more exciting” pick as he was more unexpected. <\/p>\n
There had been hesitancy from Marvel and fans to replace Black Panther, but Otim feels the new character is a “great way of honouring, not just the memory of Chadwick, but also the character of T’Challa”. <\/p>\n
“It’s a character that meant so much to so many people,” he added. <\/p>\n
“It’s really cool just to see an African character who is so cool to watch on-screen. <\/p>\n
“So I think this a great way of making sure that we don’t disrespect T’Challa’s legacy.” <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
