"Black Panther" makes his debut with Ant-Man at the official movie trailer of "Captain America: Civil War" at the recent Disney D23 Expo in Anaheim, California. Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige took the stage during the Expo to announce the trailer. He described the film as the finale of the trilogy and the culmination of everything that has come before in the Cinematic Universe.
"Captain America: Civil War" director, Kevin Feige has previously teased about how Black Panther's character is set to pan out in the upcoming film. In an interview, Feige shared his plans:
"The reason we introduced him in Civil War is because we needed a third party. We needed fresh eyes who wasn't embedded with the Avengers and who has a very different point of view than either Iron Man or Captain America. We said, 'We need somebody like Black Panther... why don't we just use Black Panther?"
Black Panther was seen with the cast of "Captain America: Civil War" last week in the Berlin shooting scenes of the movie. This is a first look with the main character of the forthcoming "Black Panther" movie.
Photographer Andreas Meyer showed the first-look of the superhero after he shared photos of the hero's suit shot from Berlin location filming of "Captain America: Civil War." It is the very first time the hero was spotted since Marvel revealed its plans to helm a standalone "Black Panther" movie as an essential part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Chadwick Boseman's "Black Panther" solo flick has been lined up in the MCU phase three and has been set to hit theaters on November 3, 2017. Boseman, who starred in "42: The Jackie Robinson Story," was nowhere to be seen on the "Civil War" Berlin. A stuntman wore the Black Panther's full jet-black gear, complete with the signature panther-style headpiece while rapelling down the side of a building chasing Bucky Barnes.
The Real Stan Lee revealed some trivia about the iconic character who was first seen in "Fantastic Four" No. 52 comic book. He stated that the Wakandan King was the first black super hero. There was a "comic code" back then that enforces strict rules about portraying African-Americans in any comics published.
"Black Panther" movie is slated for a November 3, 2017 theater release.
