We have all heard of a possibility of a "Black Panther" movie for years. As a matter of fact, actor Wesley Snipes made his intentions known to work on a "Black Panther" film in 1992, but that never happened. However, now, it has been confirmed that there is indeed going to be a "Black Panther" and that filming has already started!
Lost Angeles Times reported that the production for Marvel's upcoming movie has begun. It will star Chadwick Boseman as T'Challa / Black Panther, alongside Michael B. Jordan, Lupita Nyong'o, Martin Freeman, Danai Gurira, Angela Bassett and Forest Whitaker. Cast and crew have been excitedly tweeting from the "Black Panther" set.
Boseman is not the only actor making a comeback to the Marvel Cinematic Universe with "Black Panther." Martin Freeman, John Kani, and Florence Kasumba from "Captain America: Civil War" are back as Everett Ross, T'Chaka, and T'Challa's security chief Ayo, respectively. Andy Serkis will also reprise his role from "Avengers: Age of Ultron" as the villainous Ulysses Klaw.
The movie follows the story of T'Challa, who, after the events of "Captain America: Civil War," returns home to the isolated, but technologically-advanced African nation of Wakanda, so he could take his place as King. However, an old enemy reappears on the radar, making T'Challa be drawn to a conflict that puts the fate of the entire Wakanda - and the world - at risk.
Ryan Coogler will direct "Black Panther" and it will be produced by Kevin Feige with Louis D'Esposito, Victoria Alonso, Nate Moore, Jeffrey Chernov and Stan Lee will serve as executive producers. The script was written by Coogler and Joe Robert Cole of "The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story", Game Spot reported. The film opens in the United States on February 16, 2018. Production for "Black Panther" will take place in Atlanta and South Korea.
