Could a white guy play black panther?

It's a fictional character. I can't see why not.

Race is central to the plot, you simpleton.

@Selah Thor was based on my country's ancient mythology and there was still a black god despite us being blonde and white. Black panther is fictional, not even mythological. It's perfectly reasonable to demand a white man play black panther.
@BerryTheBoo But in the same series as Black Panther, Thor was played by someone white.

@BerryTheBoo youre right. Now what?

@BerryTheBoo Sometimes they do those "race adaptations" where they change the setting of a story but keep the plot the same, like they did with that Mexican version of James Bond a few years ago. And I think that was super cool. But the trick is, you have to do it for the WHOLE story, you can't just randomly change the race of once character.
