Black Panther, Captain America, Black Widow, and their allies prepare for a battle in Wakanda in the latest official image released from Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Infinity War.
Black Panther sets up Infinity War in ways that are mostly subtle and organic to its own standalone narrative, but also makes room for connective tissue to the larger MCU.
With Infinity War now projected for the MCU’s best opening weekend ever, that strategy is clearly working too.
Rather than trying to change the Black Panther conversation to focus on Infinity War instead, Disney and Marvel are tapping into it and using it to promote their next film, via images like this one.
