A while back it was reported that Selma director Ava DuVernay had taken meetings with Marvel, and might possibly be in line to helm either Captain Marvel or Black Panther, with the latter being the most likely. Now, The MCU Exchange reckon they've confirmed that DuVernay will indeed take the reigns of the first solo (he will make his debut in Captain America: Civil War) big screen outing for T'Challa, who'll be played by Chadwick Boseman.
So, is this on the level? Well, the site has definitely had some good info in the past and this story has been picked up by a few other outlets - but until it's confirmed my the studio or at least reported by a trade, we'll have to take it the usual grain of salt. If it transpires that DuVernay has signed on to helm Black Panther, do you think she's a good choice?
