Marvel and Walt Disney Studios have released the official trailer for the highly anticipated Black Panther, starring Chadwick Boseman. Along with a new poster, check out the latest footage behind the action/adventure film starring the popular Marvel superhero.
As we previously mentioned, after the events of Captain America: Civil War, King T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman) returns home to Wakanda to serve as his country’s new leader. Before he can sit on the throne, T’Challa is challenged from factions within his own country. When two enemies conspire to destroy Wakanda, Black Panther must team up with C.I.A. agent Everett K. Ross and members of the Dora Milaje, the Wakanadan special forces. They have to prevent Wakanda from being dragged into a world war.
Check out our 5 thoughts on the Black Panther teaser trailer!
5) All Together Now!
Martin Freeman continues using an American accent for his reprisal of agent Everett Ross. In the official trailer, Ross makes a point of explaining the continuity for newbies. He’s seen gods fly, aliens drop from the sky, but he ain’t seen nothing like this!
4) Is That Michonne!?!
Danai Gurira (The Walking Dead) makes a more prominent appearance as Okoye, a member of Wakanda’s bodyguard force. Always loyal, Okaye makes sure her king is ready for the upcoming battle. You don’t have have to worry about him freezing, because Black Panther never freezes.
3) The Revolution Will Not Be Televised!
The music for the teaser trailer sounded familiar because the beats and lyrics belonged to Run The Jewels’ “Legend Has It.” Now we have a new song for the official trailer. The catchy hooks come from Vince Staples’ “Bagbak.”
2.The Big Bad!
In the comics, Killmonger is the arch-nemesis of Black Panther and will be played by Michael B. Jordan (The Wire). In a duel for the throne, Killmonger and T’Challa will have to duke it out! Seriously, I can’t wait to see these two fight!
1) That Flip Again!
There always has to be some kind of ridiculous car crash in these Marvel movies! In eye-catching slow-motion, Black Panther jumps off the spinning car and leaps across the street while the vehicle explodes right behind him. Director Ryan Coogler (Creed) definitely marks each scene with flaire and style!
Black Panther arrives in theaters everywhere February 16, 2018.
