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.
“When he performs, you can see there’s an emotional intelligence and subtlety to what he’s bringing to screen,” he said.
“Every performance feels deeply human, even though he might be playing different roles.
“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.
“He’s supremely talented.”
Some fans believed British actor Damson Idris, who starred alongside Brad Pitt in the F1 movie, would be selected for the Black Panther role.
Otim says he thinks Jonsson is a “more exciting” pick as he was more unexpected.
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”.
“It’s a character that meant so much to so many people,” he added.
“It’s really cool just to see an African character who is so cool to watch on-screen.
“So I think this a great way of making sure that we don’t disrespect T’Challa’s legacy.”
