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 –

Marvel has released the second trailer for February 2018 adventure BLACK PANTHER along with a new poster! Chadwick Boseman, Michael B. Jordan, Martin Freeman and Andy Serkis lead the cast. Check out the new trailer below, it looks better than the ridiculously kitschy first one we've seen earlier this year.
BLACK PANTHER follows T'Challa who, after the death of his father,
the King of Wakanda, returns home to the isolated, technologically
advanced African nation to succeed to the throne and take his rightful
place as king. But when a powerful old enemy reappears, T'Challa's
mettle as king, and as Black Panther, is tested when he is
Walking Dead's Danai Gurira plays the king's bodyguard Okoye

formidable conflict that puts the fate of Wakanda and the entire world
at risk. Faced with treachery and danger, the young king must rally his
allies and release the full power of Black Panther to defeat his foes
and secure the safety of his people and their way of life.
I must admit the first trailer released earlier this summer looks hilarious to me and utterly kitschy and tacky, but I hear lots of people liked it! 'Entertainment Weekly' has released today, in their Comic Con issue, some new photos from Marvel's BLACK PANTHER 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! The movie is out next February!
