Bleeding Cool has learned that Marvel will be publishing two in-continuity comic books which will serve as preludes to the upcoming Black Panther and Avengers: Infinity War movies. Unfortunately, we probably shouldn't get too excited as the one currently on shelves for Thor: Ragnarok is simply adapting The Incredible Hulk and previous Thor movies, something we all already know well enough!
Then again, Ant-Man's prelude provided us with an 80s set adventure featuring Hank Pym and Janet Van Dyne and it sounds like Black Panther will delve into T'Challa's origin story for the first time.
Wakanda. The most technologically advanced nation in the world is protected by the mighty BLACK PANTHER! Before the upcoming Black Panther film, learn how T’CHALLA became the legendary hero of Wakanda in this ALL-NEW, NEVER-BEFORE-TOLD tale set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe! See how the mantle was passed to the future king, in a time when Super Heroes were just emerging in the larger world.
Now that's a bit more like it! What about Avengers: Infinity War, though? Well, while it sounds like it might fill in the gaps between the events of Captain America: Civil War and this movie, it too will probably just recap what we already know. Then again, Marvel might just go ahead and surprise us.
Follow the Avengers of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in their adventures leading up to this summer’s blockbuster event, Marvel’s Avengers: Infinity War!
