Iwasn't, as you remember, amazed by the 1st trailer released for next February'sBLACK PANTHER earlier this summer but the second one was a bit better and now the studio has released some really beautiful character posters showing most of the cast in full costume while playing the members of the fantastical African nation where Chadwick Boseman’s T’Challa rules over a secretive and futuristic society!
IN THE HEART OF WAKANDA
Danai Gurira is Okoye, female secret service chief
In Marvel lore, T’Challa’s homeland is the site of massive natural
deposits of Vibranium, the near-mystical metal that comprises Captain
America’s shield, is woven into his BLACK PANTHER, and has allowed the
people of Wakanda to make technological leaps nearly a century ahead of
the rest of the world.
But as T’Challa learns upon ascending the throne, the minute others know
you have something valuable, someone
will try to take it from you.
In self-defence, Wakanda has closed itself off from the other nations of
Earth, maintaining a false front that it’s a mere third-world nowhere –

ReplyDeleteAnd I'm looking forward to "Black Panther" too! It will be odd to see Andy Serkis in a role that is not completely CGI, finally!
at least his hand probably is!
DeleteUh, this looks good! I also look forward to see Andy Serkis in this!

glad to hear it!
DeleteWhile I won't see the film, I do think they did a great job with the posters.
ReplyDeletethey're quite nice, indeed, agreed on the film
DeleteI'm fed up to the back teeth. No more frigging superhero movies. They all look the same, sound the same and are shoehorned into the same universe.
ReplyDeletebut we must be fed with diversity! Next one will be an Eskimo superhero!
