Black Panther
Yes! Triple yes! Black Panther has arrived – sort of. Michael B. Jordan was officially presented as the villain Erik Killmonger, while Lupita Nyong’o is Nakia, a Dora Milaje and personal bodyguard of Black Panther. Given the introduction T’Challa had in Civil War, I cannot not be excited about this flick!
Furthermore, given the position T’Challa has among his people, this is yet another chance for Marvel to mix the genres and refresh once again the comic book movie genre. Black Panther, first and foremost, is not a superhero, but a politician and a leader. So I do expect some very interesting topics to be approached in the flick.
Furthermore, there are hints that Black Panther will have to forge an alliance in order to keep his position as a leader. Killmonger will also ally himself with another villain, which is (hopefully) Andy Serkis’ Ulysses Klaue. And this makes the movie even more interesting.
And, as we all saw, the Marvel flicks always work better when 2 or more superheroes are present. Will it be Black Widow the one who joins T’Challa? Will the Winter Soldier be awaken? Is Ant-Man going to have an adventure in the jungle?
I guess we’ll have to wait and see.
