Fans, also, seem excited to finally spend time in Wakanda on screen, though we saw it ever so briefly at the end of Civil War, when Captain America (Chris Evans) put Bucky (Sebastian Stan) on ice.
Black Panther has a lot going for it at the moment.
And then there’s the fact that Black Panther will lead right into the massive team-up movie that is Avengers: Infinity War, so we’ll all want to see how Ryan Coogler’s film sets the stage for that story.
Marvel fans seem to have embraced the casting of Chadwick Boseman in the role of T’Challa, the king of the secret African nation of Wakanda.
