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","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Content creator Gerry Otim, who reviews films and TV shows on TikTok, told BBC Newsbeat Jonsson is a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":713550,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[96,2839,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-713549","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-entertainment","tag-movies","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/713549","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=713549"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/713549\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/713550"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=713549"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=713549"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=713549"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
