CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR Directors Confirm Wakanda Scenes

Some comic book fans were concerned that Captain America: Civil War would skip filming scenes of Black Panther's sovereign nation, Wakanda, and save the introduction of his kingdom for his 2018 solo movie. Not the case, according to directors Joe and Anthony Russo.

During their panel at Wizard World New Orleans, Captain America: Civil War directors Joe and Anthony Russo were asked by a fan whether we would have scenes at Wakanda in the film.  There was concern that Wakanda might not be introduced until Black Panther's February 16, 2018 solo film.  However, we received confirmation of Marvel Comics' fictitious country in the film in a very humorous way.

Initially Anthony Russo told fans that they were not going to confirm any details about the film and that fans should rest assured that Black Panther has a big part to play in the film and has an "amazing arc".  However, in a bit of good-natured brotherly ribbing, Joe Russo jumped in to explain that Anthony's evasiveness typically means the answer is yes.  Joe explained, if the answer was no, then Anthony would've just said no. "If you're going to see Wakanda, we go, 'Listen, we can't tell you whether or not you're going to see Wakanda.'  [So]You're probably going to see Wakanda."

Captain America: Civil War 
arrives in theaters on May 06, 2016.
