“Black Panther”, the eighteenth instalment in the Marvel cinematic universe, is garnering immense critical reverence and insurmountable fan anticipation. The film currently holds a near flawless 99% critical consensus on aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes, with many heralding the film’s inventive and original presentation to the incessant franchise. However, despite the sense of newness to “Black Panther”, Chadwick Boseman is here to advocate just how entrenched the character’s world has actually quietly been present in the MCU for many years.
In a recently released international trailer for “Black Panther”, Boseman describes the distinctive world of Wakanda and the stature it holds to the character’s solo film. He then goes on to display how the fictitious country has actually been quietly present in various MCU entries stretching as far back as 2010’s “Iron Man 2”. With Boseman stating in the trailer “my character comes from a place called Wakanda, while that name may not be familiar to you, it's actually connected to the Avengers universe in ways you never knew.”
Boseman deliberates on appearances T'Challa's homeworld has been in, with films including “Iron Man 2”, “Captain America: The First Avenger”, “Avengers: Age of Ultron” and most recently with 2016’s “Captain America: Civil War”. The trailer provides insight into just how meticulous and well-planned the plan in place of expanding this cinematic universe has been for so long. And now with “Black Panther”, we see another spectrum to this wide and colourful universe of Marvel characters on the silver screen.
