Martin Freeman Confirmed For BLACK PANTHER As First Batch Of Set Photos Surface
Filming for Black Panther is finally underway and we've just come across the first batch of set photos, which provide us with a look at Chadwick Boseman, Lupita Nyong'o, Danai Gurira, & Martin Freeman!
Earlier this week, Marvel Studios kicked off production on the eighteenth chapter in its illustrious Marvel Cinematic Universe, Black Panther, and now, thanks to Just Jared, we have our first look at a few key cast members, sans costume, on the set of the Ryan Coogler-directed superhero feature.
In the photos, we get a clear look at Chadwick Boseman (Captain America: Civil War), who stars as T'Challa, and Danai Gurira (The Walking Dead), who will play Okoye, sharing a laugh between scenes and then another with Academy Award-winner Lupita Nyong'o (Star Wars: Episode VIII), playing Nakia, exiting a building. The final shot is the most interesting yet as it confirms the long-rumored return of Golden Globe-nominee Martin Freeman (Captain America: Civil War) as Everett Ross.
The photos were snapped earlier today in Atlanta, GA and while they hardly reveal anything about the film's plot, they were apparently taken sometime after the foursome filmed a scene involving a meeting at the United Nations, so take from that what you will.
Also, on another note, Avengers: Infinity War and the yet-to-be-titled Avengers 4 will begin filming on Monday, so stay tuned into CBM for any news as it happens.

UPDATE: A new photo of Boseman suited up has found its way online:
