Mumbai: The first ever teaser trailer footage from director Ryan Coogler’s Marvel debut, Black Panther is released today.
After first appeared in 2016’s Captain America: Civil War, Black Panther is all set for its way back on big screen.
The first teaser trailer of the Marvel’s Black Panther aired during game four of the NBA Finals. Here, we see Chadwick Boseman reprise his role as T’Challa, the Black Panther and the newly crowned king of Wakanda.
The trailer begins with an interrogation scene of Ulysses Klaue/Klaw (Andy Serkis) being asked about Wakanda, as we see Boseman and one of his bodyguards watching through a two-way mirror.
Then the trailer unfurls, as we get a look at the country of Wakanda, a voiceover about how hard it is to to be king, and actions sequences like T’Challa in his suit taking on a full storm of bullets and his female bodyguards, the Dora Milaje, lowering the boom on some bad guys.
Black Panther is also the first movie since Blade to tell a superhero story that isn’t from a white point of view. The majority of characters in Marvel’s superhero stories-not just heroes but villains, allies, and supporting characters too-up until this point have been white or European.
But Black Panther’s terrific, diverse cast extends beyond Boseman. Michael B. Jordan plays Erik Killmonger, one of Black Panther’s comic book nemeses.
Lupita Nyong’o, Angela Bassett and The Walking Dead’s Danai Gurira also have starring roles in the film.
Black Panther to hit theaters on February 16, 2018.
