Marvel Comics’s ‘Black Panther’ film is coming to life along with an all-star cast. While at Comic Con, actress Lupita Nyong’o shared a photo on Instagram of the film’s starring actors, which includes herself, Michael B. Jordan, Chadwick Boseman, and Danai Gurira. She wrote: “WE HERE! #BlackPanther #SDCC2016 @marvel @disneystudios ” WE HERE! #BlackPanther #SDCC2016 @marvel @disneystudios A photo posted by Lupita Nyong’o (@lupitanyongo) on Jul 23, 2016 at 6:17pm PDT Word is that Boseman will play the main character and Nyong’o will play his love interest. Gurira will be chief commander of a tribe of female warriors. The director and wrier, Ryan Coogler, tells Fast Company: “It’s a specific challenge. What Marvel’s doing , and what you see a lot of studios doing now that Marvel has done it so successfully, is making content that exists in a particular universe, where the characters tie in and crossover, and I think that’s a great creative challenge to me – to make this movie as personal as possible. It’s going to be my most personal movie to date, which is crazy to say, but it’s completely the case. I’m obsessed with this character and this story right now, and I think it’s going to be very unique and still fit into the overall narrative that they’re establishing.” ‘Black Panther’ is scheduled to hit theaters on February 18, 2018.
