Chadwick Boseman Talks About His Excitement For BLACK PANTHER
It's going to be 2 long years before we see Chadwick Boseman suit up as the Black Panther in Captain America: Civil War.. or will it? Boseman says a little something that might suggest he may show up in the MCU earlier than expected. Come check it out!
As part of Variety's Actors on Actors feature, Logan Lerman (Percy Jackson) sat down with the future Black Panther, Chadwick Boseman, for a few minutes to discuss the role. Boseman is expected to make his debut in 2016's Captain America: Civil War, and will star in his own solo film in 2017. While plot details about his solo adventure are still scarce, Boseman does seem genuinely excited to be the one to bring T'Challa to life and describes the Black Panther as one of the most unique characters he's ever played.
He also lets it slip that "there's a director on the movies that he's introduced." We already know that the Russo brothers are returning to helm Civil War, but when he says "movies," could he be alluding to Joss Whedon and next year's Avengers: Age of Ultron as his first true introduction?
