I'm dead. I'm so fucking excited for Phase 3 and this is going to be amazing all around (even though I'm still wary about Civil War).
ReplyDeleteI'am literally DROOLING from that concept art. It's so damn beautiful :')
ReplyDeleteI don't read comics so i've no idea but was there really a Black Panther? or was is recently made up?
ReplyDeleteBlack Panther has been around since the 1960's so it wasn't recently made up. I believe he made his first appearance in one of the Fantastic Four comics.
ReplyDeleteHe's been around for a long time, he was married to Storm and a pretty big character overall. I really like him in the Avengers cartoon, the Earth's Mightiest Hero one.
ReplyDeleteI'm a little surprised they went with an American for the role. I guess I was sort of expecting someone like Djimon Hounsou or David Oyelowo to get the role.
ReplyDeleteDamn, that guy is becoming a major star.
ReplyDeleteI think either would've been better than him, but whatever. I can't rationalize Marvel's thinking
ReplyDeletetwo good choices
ReplyDeleteEpic, really excited to see Chad in Cap 3 and his own film
ReplyDeleteHe's been around for a long time. He rules Wakanda(which you may have seen on a map in AoS).
ReplyDeleteFirst appearance
ReplyDeleteFantastic Four #52 (July 1966)
It's possible the chosen actor is cheaper than an international star.
ReplyDeleteI liked him in '42', so good for him. Can't wait.
ReplyDeleteI kinda agree with you. He is well known for his indie stuff....but I quite frankly am not seeing him as the Black Panther....
ReplyDeleteThere`s word out he`s locked in for 5 movies beginning with Civil War. So he`s probably going to be the new parts of the main Avengers-team with Doctor Strange, Vision and the twins maybe.
ReplyDeleteDjimon too old for T'Challa,his more fit for his father, T'Chaka,the previous Black Panther though.btw, T'Chaka cast who most certainly would appear on BP movie,hasn't been announced wasn't it?
ReplyDeleteDjimon too old for T'Challa,IMO
ReplyDeleteI said someone like Hounsou.or Oyolewo. I was using them as an example. My point was about casting a non-American in the role. Age doesn't matter in the context of the point I was making.
ReplyDeleteSame here. I mean after Chiwetal Ejiofor was FLAWLESS in 12 Years A Slave, and should've been the front runner
ReplyDeleteConcept Art amazing, Chadwick Bozeman great choice, he'll make a great Black Panther!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI think there a ton of young up and comers that would have been well suited for the role. Who knows though....its tough for African American actors in Hollywood.....so I don't begrudge him for getting the role....
ReplyDeleteToo bad Wesley Snipes is now too old for it. :(
Awesomee
ReplyDeleteI had the most incredible flashback: this guy was on Fringe! Episode 4x04!
ReplyDeleteI looked at him and I thought "I've seen him before" and then it hit me and I was like "OMG!"
A very interesting casting choice. I'll be looking forward to this movie! Blackpanther is a really interesting hero and I want to see what Marvel does with him on this movie
Djimon is also already in the MCU. I don't think the nationality particulary matters so much as the look of the actor. I think he could very well pull off the character. I am excited to see how they pull off the story.
ReplyDeleteHe was already Blade, years ago. So I doubt he would even have been considered
ReplyDeleteDon't know much about Black Panther, but the basics, so the movie should be interesting.
ReplyDeletewhy are you worried about Civil War
ReplyDeleteI was teasing....but someone of that caliber needed to have been chosen...IMO.
ReplyDeleteLauded as the first Afro American super hero.
ReplyDeleteI was really crossing my fingers for Aldis, but he will do juuuuuust fine :)
ReplyDeleteIf this was 15 years ago and they hadn't cast Djimon I would have started a riot...
ReplyDeleteI think at this point he might be a bit older than what they're going for.
And with his part in GotG I dunno if Marvel would be willing to recast him in another part (though without the makeup and prosthetics sure, I can see it working and I'd be sooooo down if he played T'Chaka or something.)
