Black Panther adds Michael B Jordan to cast

          

           In a not so surprising turn of events its being reported by the hollywood reporter that actor Michael B Jordan (creed) will be joining the cast of marvels upcoming Black Panther film. This news comes hot of the heels of a possible casting of rising star Lupita Nyong'o (star wars the force awakens). What makes jordans casting come as no surprise is the fact that the writer/director Ryan Coogler has worked with Jordan in not only his last hit film creed but also on hi breakout directorial film Fruitvale Station. What makes jordans casting a bit more interesting is that he as well as now marvel hevey hitter Chris Evens have both previously played the role of johnny storm aka the human torch in a version of fox's fantastic four which also happens to be the comic book in which Black Panther was first  introduced in 1966. Can the failing fiery brother of sue storm be the launch pad of yet another MCU Successes? only time will tell as the details of his involvement are early and unknown. Ryan Cooglers  Black Panther opens in theaters July 6 2018 staring Chadwick Boseman.

Black panthers civil war debut!!!!

If you haven't seen civil war yet dont read any further, get up, get out, and go see it NOW!!!!! Go go!!! (spoilers ahead)




     Im sure there has to be 100's of civil war reviews already so im not going to do that but i am going to give a mini review on black panther.

                                  T'challa
     Man did chadwick B knock it out of the park. He came into the mcu with a strong performance capturing both the royal and dangerous side of t'challa. We also had a chance to witness the death of t'chaka which is apprently not carried out by klaw in the mcu (but maybe some yet to be seen connection) his death served as great motivation to launch the black panther into the fray.

                               Black panther
    First off the costume looked great i was wondering how the predominantly black dudes would translate onto the screen but they did a great job making it look menacing, functional and not the least bit cheesy. From his first introduction we see just how deadly he is and how serious the mcu is handling the character. Showcasing superior speed agility power and fighting ability as he essentially takes on bucky cab and falcon on a high speed foot/car/bike chase through the streets. Later in the films big fight sequence we see panther mix it up with some of the mcu elite and never seems to be out of place i didnt get any of those "come on he is way to outmatched" moments  (im looking at you hawkeye) and never felt as if he was to over powered overall it was a great display of his powers and abilitys without revealing to much keeping some mystery to keep you wanting more for his solo film no doubt.

                 Final thought
    Overall i am very pleased with the introduction of both t'challa and black panther and impatiently look forward to the release of his solo film i can only hope the king of wakana turns up in a film sometime between then just to keep the hype train and momentum going. Until then check out the new black panther ongoing comic by its just starting to heat up and hopfully can give us enough black panther action to hold us over

and we are back....again(what we know so far)

      Ok so we are back and its time to update jut the basics of what we know so far about marvels upcoming black panther film.

Black Panther

• Release date: February 16, 2018
• Rating PG-13 (unconfirmed but is pretty much expected)
• Director: Ryan Coogler (fruitvale Station, Creed)
• Writer:    Mark Bagley
• Starring: Chadwick Boseman, Andy Serkis

Just a small update to bring everything well....up to date more in depth information coming soon

black panther date moved AGAIN!

The date for marvels black panther has bounced from year to year and still has not settled on a month recently being changed from its july 6 2018 date to February 16 2018. It seems that the ant man sequel has caused the bump in date the bright side is we will get to see t'challa im action sooner. With no director yet announced and no new casting information since the announcement of chadwick bosemen as the panther this is starting to become reminiscent of many "doomed" hollywood projects but marvel/disney has not failed me yet so lets hope things are moving along nicely.

Black Panther Movies???(video after jump)

As we already know Black Panther will be appearing in the upcoming Captain America flick CIVIL WAR, but is there a chance he will be showing up in other films before the release of his own movie? Its been rumored that Bosemen has signed a 5 picture deal with Marvel studios and in a recent interview with Logan Lermen for Variety's actors on actors Bosemen when asked if there was a director for his upcoming film answered "theres a director on, you know the movies that im introduced". Yes he said movies.....mistake? maybe or will we be seeing alot more black panther sooner then we thought? Overall it seems Boseman has a positive outlook on marvel and a great respect for the character. Captain American: Civil War starring Robert Downey jr and Chris Evens is set to release May 6th 2016. The other marvel cinematic universe films slated to release before black panther are Doctor Strange, Guardians of the Galaxy 2, and the 3rd installment of Thor:ragnarok staring Chris Hemsworth. What films if any do you think he will turn up in? There still is a chance of a cameo in the upcoming Avengers:Age of Ultron on May 1st 2015 i guess we will know soon enough check out the full video interview below

The Man: Chadwick Bosemen

So we know that Chadwick Bosemen will be portraying t'challa (black panther) in the new film but who is Chadwick Bosemen???? Well he is an American actor fresh off the heels of his roles as baseball legend Jackie Robinson (42) and soul singer legend James Brown (get on up). He is also set to play thoth the Egyptian god of knowledge in the upcoming Gods of Egypt film coming February 2016. Fairly new to big screen cinema and the action genre im very curious to see what he can do
