Black Panther To Get His Own Video Game

Black Panther To Get His Own Video Game

, , , , 7

T’Challa, King of Wakanda, may be dead in the MCU, but he will live on in the world of video games. Electronic Arts just announced today that a Black Panther video game is now in development. This will be a full-fledged Triple A production so huge, EA is creating a new studio just to make it. Cliffhanger Games is the name of the studio, and Black Panther will be its first project for EA. Based in Seattle, the team will be helmed by Kevin Stephens, formerly the boss of Monolith Productions. “We’re dedicated to delivering fans a definitive and authentic Black Panther experience, giving them more agency and control over their narrative than they have ever experienced in a story-driven video game,” Stephens said. “Wakanda is a rich Super Hero sandbox, and our mission is to develop an epic world for players who love Black Panther and want to explore the world of Wakanda as much as we do.” EA entered a partnership with Marvel to produce three games —

Surrounded puts Letitia Wright in front and centre of this Post Civil War Western. Many enslaved people faced discrimination and hardships despite being freed after the Civil War. Some women pretended to be men to secure jobs and avoid sexual assault. Letitia Wright is fresh from her success in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. That movie made $859.2 million and now opened more opportunities for her. Now she plays a strong yet vulnerable character in Surrounded, a historical drama written by Andrew Pagana and Justin Thomas. The movie marks a significant breakthrough for both writers. Anthony Mandler, who primarily directs music videos, directs the movie and manages to assemble an impressive cast, including Jamie Bell, Brett Gelman, Jeffrey Donovan, Michael K. Williams, and Letitia Wright. The project represents Mandler’s most extensive career opportunity to date. Surrounded Trailer Moses “Mo” Washington (Letitia Wright) just wanted to have a new life. As a formerly enslaved person, Mo faced discrimination and hardships that lingered even after the Civil War. Desiring a fresh start, she

A Black Panther 2 Script Exists Where T’Challa Returns

As you most likely know, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever will fully lean into the fact that the actor who played the Panther in the first movie, Chadwick Boseman, is no longer with us. But back when the news of Boseman’s death first hit, no one knew how Marvel would handle it, and a lot of fans were hoping T’Challa would be recast. There was never a consideration to do so, but if there had been, there was a script ready to go. Ryan Coogler, the writer and director behind both the original Black Panther and its sequel, revealed to THR that he’d already written the script for Black Panther 2 prior to Baseman’s passing, and had to completely rewrite it afterward. “The script we wrote before Chadwick passed was very much rooted in T’Challa’s perspective,” he said. “It was a massive movie but also simultaneously a character study that delved deeply into his psyche and situation.” What Coogler doesn’t say is what KIND of situation. Was Namor in this version

New Wakanda Forever Trailer Sort-Of Reveals New Black Panther

New Wakanda Forever Trailer Sort-Of Reveals New Black Panther

, , , , 20

The latest Wakanda Forever trailer was released this morning. For those wondering if we’d finally find out who the new Black Panther is, the answer is yes and no. Yes in that the final shot is a clear reveal of the new costume; no in that they don’t reveal who’s in it. The new Panther has boobs, but that’s not much of a hint since the majority of the remaining cast is women, and the new heroic characters are also women. Like Riri Williams, the tech genius who idolizes Iron Man so much she builds an iron suit of her own to become the superhero Ironheart. This is the only character we feel we can safely guess isn’t Black Panther, because she can’t be two heroes at once. Riri is played by Doninique Thorne. Hopefully Wakanda can figure out who to fill that suit out with fast. As stated in the trailer, the country’s enemies know their defender is dead, and “now is the time to strike.” The first to

#SaveTChalla : #RecastTchalla is becoming mainstream

#SaveTChalla is a new social media trend that becomes a follow up to the #RecastTchalla  movement. #RecastBlackPanther is also getting some traction. Last year Marvel Made an announcement that they will not recast T’Challa as respect to Chadwick Boseman‘s legacy. Some fans are against the recasting because they think he is like that song Beyonce stole from Neyo, Irreplaceable. There is an online petition at Change.org that already garnered 50 thousand as of the writing of this article. T’Challa brings diversity that fans wanted. A Black character created for Black people and not another race swapped Ginger character. #SaveTChalla is the second movement for the recasting because not recasting means the character will die off. The excuse of people against recasting is that other characters used the Black Panther mantle. Well, there are multiple characters who used the Batman Mantle but we always end up with Bruce Wayne, and Wayne is always recast. The original plan after Chadwick’s death is to give the mantle to Shuri. Shuri did use the Black

#RecastTchalla is currently dividing the netizens online. Some fans started the campaign #RecastTchalla because they want the legacy of the character to continue.  Recasting characters had been around for centuries. I mean look at how many actors had played James Bond throughout the years. Some of the Bond actors already passed away too but the recastings never deleted their legacy. Fans of T’Challa wanted his story to continue instead of him just passing the mantle. Other characters used the mantle of Black Panther in Marvel Comics. Some fans are opposed to #RecastTchalla. They are against it because they see Chadwick Boseman as irreplaceable. People who are pushing this campaign also have a reasonable rebuttal. Heath Ledger has an award-winning performance as Joker. People also said he was irreplaceable after his death. Joaquin Phoenix’s portrayal of Joker also received a lot of awards.  Even if an actor passes away, a character can still be recast. Also recasting the character will never delete the legacy of the previous ones as their version will

Marvel Studios revealed its release plans for the next three years today, and went beyond just the usual conference call or press release…they sent out a three-minute trailer, scored by the familiar opening theme, full of classic clips from movies past (including an audience reaction video) and narrated by a Stan Lee recording. The whole production is intended as one big, giant “WELCOME BACK TO THE THEATERS” sign. (You got the vaccine, right?) Black Widow: July 9, 2021 You know about this one. After over a year of extra wait time the movie will finally be released in a couple months and you’ll also be able to see it on Disney+ (if you give them an extra thirty dollars…blegh). Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings: September 3, 2021 The Eternals: November 5, 2021 Not less than two months from Shang-Chi. We got our first look at it in today’s mega-trailer. Spider-Man: No Way Home: December 17, 2021 This one is going to be wild if the constant casting

As you all know by now, actor Chadwick Boseman tragically passed away last weekend after a nearly five-year battle with colon cancer. Boseman chose to tell no one about his illness and keep working as long as he could. It’s behavior fitting of a true king, which is why Boseman’s most iconic role fits him so well: the Marvel superhero Black Panther. Marvel Studios has not announced as of yet what they plan to do about the character — whether they’ll retire him or recast. Chances are we may have seen the one and only Black Panther movie with T’Challa as king, but there are many, many more stories about him out there. Why not check out a few? They’re free. Comixology has discounted every Black Panther comic in its library to zero dollars this weekend. From his origins in the 1970s to the contemporary series of today, there are dozens of adventures starring the African monarch to absorb. Even comics related to Black Panther, like a Killmonger comic and

Black Panther’s “White Wolf” Scene Was Actually Much Longer Originally

Black Panther’s “White Wolf” Scene Was Actually Much Longer Originally

, , 0

Black Panther wowed fans and critics for a large variety of reasons. One of which was the dual set of post-credits sequences. The first was a powerful scene at the UN where T’Challa talked about coming together as “one tribe”, a message very much needed in the world today. The second though showed Bucky Barnes, formerly the Winter Soldier, in good health and out of his cryo pod that we saw him in during the end of Captain America: Civil War. His interaction with Shuri (T’Challa’s sister) noted that his conditioning had been totally wiped from his brain, and he was grateful. He even got a new nickname via the Wakandan children in “White Wolf”, which he apparently will take on in Avengers Infinity War. However, during a panel at Wizard World Portland, actor Sebastian Stan noted that originally, the scene was a lot longer. But he thinks the theatrical version is better: “It’s definitely better the way it is now, I think. But that scene was at least 8

After an incredible five week reign where all newcomers were soundly defeated in combat, who could possibly challenge King T’Challa of Wakanda for his throne? He was finally bested this weekend — by giant robots. Killmonger should have thought of using those. Pacific Rim: Uprising turned out to be the movie that succeeded where A Wrinkle in Time and Tomb Raider couldn’t — by landing the #1 weekend box office spot. It earned $28 million domestically, while Black Panther still pulled in a respectable $16.6 million at #2. All other newcomers crashed and burned. The embarrassing-looking Sherlock Gnomes only made it to #4 and Midnight Sun and Unsane bombed at #10 and #11. If you were looking for Wes Anderson’s stop-motion-animated Isle of Dogs, that was only technically released in the loosest sense. Only 27 theaters nationwide got to play it, though that number will expand this coming weekend. While the original Pacific Rim was a cult hit, it didn’t earn the kind of money Stateside that guarantees a sequel,

Black Panther Sequel Already Greenlit By Marvel Studios

Black Panther Sequel Already Greenlit By Marvel Studios

To say that Black Panther was a success at the box office is by and large one of the biggest understatements of the year. The film has broken records left and right, and is now one of the top-grossing films of all time…and it hasn’t even been out a month. So, we’re getting a sequel to the film, right? That was the question Entertainment Weekly posed to Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige, and this was his answer: “Nothing specific to reveal, other than to say we absolutely will do that. One of the favorite pastimes at Marvel Studios is sitting around on a Part One and talking and dreaming about what we would do in a Part Two.” If they didn’t do a Black Panther sequel, it would’ve been extremely odd. Plus, in the interview, Feige noted that while they were making the original film, they started thinking about what they could do in the second in regards to main ideas and direction of the film. So anything is possible.

Black Panther was a mega super colossal hit…and every other adjective you can use to define a 200+ million dollar box office get in its first four days at the box office. The film broke down barriers, expectations, and stereotypes, and that’ll no doubt add to the superhero films that come out in the future, regardless of brand. However, that doesn’t mean that the film didn’t have questions from fans. For as great as the film was, there some oddities that viewers pointed out, one of which stemmed from the end credits sequence. While the first end credits sequence featured T’Challa making a beautiful (and politically relevant) speech at the U.N., the second scene featured the return of Bucky Barnes, who has been dethawed and freed of the mind control that Hydra put in him. But it raises the question, if he was available, meaning free of cryo, why didn’t Shuri or T’Challa ask for his help to take down Kilmonger? Well, Ryan Coogler answered this to Empire in their
