Because of the growing number of superhero franchises, a lot of people are already skeptical about new comers in the field like Marvel's upcoming "Black Panther". To assure the fans of the film's potential, we have listed a few reasons why the superhero will make a great movie.
While most superhero characters like the popular X-Men, Spider-Man, the Hulk and Daredevil got their powers from something radioactive, the Black Panther's origin offers a different and refreshing story. Created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in the 1960s, T'Challa is the ruling leader of the Wakandan Panther Clan. According to Slash Film, he adopts the superhero identity Black Panther after he ate a "heart-shaped herb" that linked him to the Panther God, and granted him superhuman strength, speed, stamina, and senses.
He wears this really cool black suit which is made of Vibranium -the exact same material that Captain America's shield is made of. What would probably make the character cooler is Chadwick Boseman's portrayal of the superhero in Marvel's upcoming big screen adaptation. Considering his notable depiction of Jackie Robinson and James Brown in the biographical films "42" and "Get On Up", a few outlets like Movie Pilot is certain that the actor could pull off the character.
Another interesting thing that the "Black Panther" film would provide is its distinct setting. It is known that most superheroes usually defend huge skyscraper-filled cities like New York, Chicago or London. Indeed, the falling buildings or crowded streets give the movie more action but these scenarios might already be kind of old for some. Boseman's film, on the other hand, will be set in an African nation called Wakanda, and seeing one of Marvel's main characters in this jungle setting would definitely be exciting.
Being a totally different type of superhero from somewhere entirely new and having a notable portrayer who will likely give justice to the character, definitely gives the Panther a great chance to be an incredible movie.
Marvel's "Black Panther" live-action flick is scheduled to hit the big screen July 6, 2018.
