Black Panther is set to debut in Marvel Cinematic Universe and an Easter egg may have been found in the recently released Avengers: Age of Ultron. Hawkeye actor Jeremy Renner also released pictures suggesting that Black Panther might not take the neutral side after all in the forthcoming Captain America: Civil War.
A confirmation of Ulysses Klau's link to the story of Black Panther may have been found in Avengers: Age of Ultron through a fan's screengrab of the file in the movie which contains brief information about Klau.
According to Over Mental, the description in the file states "Ulysses Klaue was an assassin hired to take down T'Chaka at the Bilderberg conference in the case that he refused to negotiate Wakanda's resources including Vibranium. But, Klaue was also there personally, as the Panther killed his great-grandfather in the 19th century while this one was trying to annex Wakanda. He was paid ten million dollars for the kill."
As the text suggests, Klau was apparently hired to kill T'Chaka for the hefty price of $10 million if T'Chaka refuses to negotiate on Wakanda's resource, the Vibranium. It also suggests that assassinating T'Chaka would not only be restricted as a professional responsibility but also personal, as T'Chaka said to have killed Klau's great grandfather when he tried to annex Wakanda during the 19th century. However, it remains unclear whether Klau has succeeded in killing T'Chaka, which will most probably be confirmed when Black Panther's solo film hits theaters.
But before he stars in his solo film, Black Panther is set to debut in the MCU through Captain America: Civil War which is due for release next year. Although it was previously revealed that Black Panther will stay on the neutral side during the clash of Marvel's heroes, Jeremy Renner recently released photos in his Twitter account proving otherwise.
As reported by IGN, Renner recently released photos of Marvel heroes who will take Captain America's side, and Iron Man's side during the impending clash of these two heroes. Taking on Captain America's side will be the Falcon, Bucky Barnes aka The Winter Soldier, Agent 13, and Hawkeye. While The Vision, Black Widow, War Machine, and Black Panther were pictured siding with Tony Stark's Iron Man although Black Panther's agenda in the film remains to be unclear.
Plot details about Black Panther's solo film are currently scarce, although it is believed to be an origin story of the Wakandan hero. According to the Daily Beast, Black Panther is one of the most iconic heroes in Marvel and is the first black superhero in the Marvel Universe.
Black Panther is set to be played by Chadwick Boseman. No director has been attached to helm the Black Panther solo film yet, but Mark Bailey has been hired to write the script. More details are expected to be revealed as the film nears its July 06, 2018 release.
