Black Panther is making his big screen debut in next month's CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR. Actor Chadwick Boseman is playing T'Challa, the prince of Wakanda, who is also the Black Panther and he will get his own solo movie in 2018.
While speaking with Collider, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige confirmed that now only will BLACK PANTHER begin filming in early 2017 but director Ryan Coogler is also co-writing it, just as he wrote and directed his last movie Creed.
“Very soon. We have a number of writers on it including Ryan Coogler, who is also directing, he’s working on the draft right now. Between now and the end of the summer there will be more casting announcements. We start filming at the very beginning of next year.”
BLACK PANTHER releases on February 16, 2018.
