Later tonight, fans will finally get to seeCaptain America: Civil Waron the big screen with early preview screenings being held all across the country. One of the new superheroes making their Marvel Cinematic Universe debut in this epic adventure isChadwick Boseman’sBlack Panther, who will go on to star in his own standalone movie set to hit theaters on June 28, 2025. While we have seen this Wakanda warrior in action in the previously-released trailers and clips, today we have a new preview that takes us behind-the-scenes withChadwick Bosemanhimself.
The preview offers some footage fromBlack Panther’s rooftop fight with The Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan), whileChadwick Bosemanreveals that his character is unpredictable and always a step ahead of everyone else. The actor also shed more light onT’challain an interview withUSA Today, where he spoke about his character, and how excited he is to start shooting theBlack Panthermovie. Here’s what he had to say about T’challa below.
“You could be having a great time with him at a party, and all of a sudden he disappears and no one knows where he is. It puts him in a position where he’s always going to be misunderstood by people. I love that aspect because it creates adark sideto him. I felt a constant anticipation of what’s to come while doing this, which is a beautiful thing. You always know this is going to get better and better.”
We’ve known for quite some time thatBlack Pantheris part of Team Iron Man inCaptain America: Civil War, but in many ways, this mysterious character has his own agenda. T’challa is first introduced just before tragedy strikes during a terrorist attack, whichThe Winter Soldieris blamed for. T’challa sets off on his own mission to go after The Winter Soldier, which we’ve seen in footage from their highway chase scene and rooftop fight. ProducerKevin Feigereveals thatBlack Pantherisn’t really on anyone’s team.
“He could really care less what Cap feels, what Tony feels. He’s fresh eyes to their arguments and relationships (and) an equal with some of the power players, but has his own point of view about what’s going on.”
As for the standaloneBlack Panther movie,Ryan Cooglerrecently came aboard to direct, withBosemanrevealing that he talks to the filmmaker every week, and that they have a “good partnership.” None of the supporting roles have been filled out yet, butKevin Feigeteased last month that directorRyan Coogleris currently co-writing the script, working from a draft originally written byJoe Robert Cole, with casting announcements to be made this summer and production slated to begin in early 2017. While we wait for more on theBlack Panthermovie, take a look at this new preview forCaptain America: Civil War, before heading to theaters to see this adventure unfold later tonight.
