Black Panther was introduced to the Marvel Cinematic Universe a couple weeks ago in Captain America: Civil War.
So far our only look at Wakanda in the MCU comes from the Captain America: Civil War mid-credits scene.
And we’re definitely investigating shooting in Africa … both Marvel and Ryan [Coogler] feel that would be really good for the movie.
Considering that most, if not all, of Black Panther will take place in Wakanda, it makes sense that the production would try to shoot some scenes in Africa.
