Black Panther

Black Panther will bring some diversity to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in 2018, as the franchise gives a black character a solo movie for the first time – albeit one from the fictional nation of Wakanda (a country already mentioned in Avengers: Age of Ultron).

Get on Up star Chadwick Boseman will portray the character – appearing first in Captain America: Civil War – and it’s a prospect hardcore Marvelites are really looking forward to. Black Panther is a classic member of the Avengers and it’s about time he joined the fray.

T’Challa – as the character is otherwise known – has a very unique origin. He inherits the title of Black Panther from his father, wears a vibranium-weave armour and gains modest superhuman attributes via a herb exclusively grown in Wakanda

It will be a much more culturally-focused movie and will undoubtedly be very well critically received. However, it might not be exciting enough for those fans only familiar with Marvel through their experiences at the movies.
