Black Panther is an upcoming American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name. Produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, it is intended to be the eighteenth film installment of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The film is directed by Ryan Coogler from a screenplay by himself and Joe Robert Cole, and stars Chadwick Boseman as the titular character, Michael B. Jordan, Forest Whitaker, Lupita Nyong'o, Angela Bassett, Danai Gurira, Daniel Kaluuya, Winston Duke, Florence Kasumba, and Sterling K. Brown. In Black Panther, two enemies challenge Black Panther's leadership, forcing him to team up with the CIA and the Dora Milaje, Wakanda's special forces, to stop them.

Wesley Snipes first mentioned his intention to work on a Black Panther film in 1992, with that project going through multiple iterations over the next decade but never coming to fruition. A Black Panther film was announced as one of the ten Marvel films that would be developed by Marvel Studios and distributed by Paramount Pictures in September 2005, with Mark Bailey hired to write a script in January 2011. Black Panther was officially announced in October 2014, with Boseman appearing first in Captain America: Civil War. By the end of 2015, Cole and Coogler had both joined the film, and additional cast members came on board beginning in May 2016. The film began principal photography in January 2017 at Pinewood Atlanta Studios in Fayette County, Georgia and is expected to last until June 2017.

Black Panther is set to be released in the United States on February 16, 2018.

Premise

Following the events of Captain America: Civil War,[1] Black Panther teams up with the CIA and the Dora Milaje, Wakanda's special forces, to stop two enemies from challenging his leadership.[2]

Cast

(L:R) Producer Kevin Feige, director Ryan Coogler, and actors Lupita Nyong'o, Michael B. Jordan, Danai Gurira and Chadwick Boseman promoting Black Panther at the 2016 San Diego Comic-Con International.
The king of the fictional African nation of Wakanda.[1][3][4][5] Producer Kevin Feige described the character as "a bit of a prince, he may even become a bit of a king, but it's all about how this isolationist country [of Wakanda] meets the world."[4] Screenwriter Joe Robert Cole added that after the events of Captain America: Civil War and the death of his father, "...we’ll be able to see [T'Challa] mourning and him starting to take command as king of his own nation."[1] Boseman, who called T'Challa an anti-hero,[6] said that he is "very much aware of the responsibility" and "how important his role and his position is" as the leader of Wakanda.[7] He worked with the same dialect coach he had during Message from the King for the film.[6] Boseman signed a five-film contract with Marvel.[8]
Jordan had "been wanting to play a villain for a while, it seemed about time, and this is the right place to do it."[11]
The head of the Dora Milaje.[10][16] When looking to cast Gurira, director Ryan Coogler had not seen The Walking Dead, in which Gurira portrays the popular character Michonne, and instead wanted her for the part because of her performance in Mother of George. Gurira said that the fighting skills she learned playing Michonne complimented the skills of Okoye, but that "there's a lot of ways that they're extremely different ... Okoye is a whole 'nother thing."[17]

Additionally, Andy Serkis, Martin Freeman and John Kani reprise their roles as Ulysses Klaue, Everett K. Ross and T'Chaka respectively from previous MCU films.[20][21][22] Letitia Wright,[23] Phylicia Rashad,[24] and Atandwa Kani have been cast in undisclosed roles.[22]

Production

Development

In June 1992, Wesley Snipes announced his intention to make a film about Black Panther,[25] and he had begun work on one by that August.[26] The next July, Snipes planned to begin The Black Panther after starring in Demolition Man,[27] and the next month he expressed interest in making sequels to the film as well.[28] In January 1994, Snipes entered talks with Columbia Pictures to portray Black Panther,[29] and Stan Lee joined the film by March;[30] it had entered early development by May.[31] When the film had not progressed in January 1996, Lee explained that he had not been pleased with the scripts for the project.[32]

We have a wide-open field for comic book characters on the big screen and we've yet to have a major black comic book hero on the screen. Especially the Black Panther, which is such a rich, interesting life. It's a dream come true to originate something that nobody's ever seen before.

–Actor Wesley Snipes, who worked on early iterations of Black Panther[28]

In July 1997, Black Panther was listed as part of Marvel Comics' film slate,[33] and in March 1998, Marvel hired Joe Quesada and Jimmy Palmiotti to work on it.[34] That August, corporate problems at Marvel had put the project on hold,[35] while the next August, Snipes was set to produce, and possibly star, in the film.[36] In May 2000, Artisan Entertainment announced a deal with Marvel to co-produce, finance, and distribute a film based on Black Panther.[37] In March 2002, Snipes said he planned to do Blade 3 or Black Panther in 2003,[38] and reiterated his interest five months later.[39] In July 2004, Blade 3 director David S. Goyer said this was unlikely, as Snipes was "already so entrenched as Blade that another Marvel hero might be overkill."[40]

In September 2005, Marvel chairman and CEO Avi Arad announced Black Panther as one of the ten Marvel films that would be developed by Marvel Studios and distributed by Paramount Pictures.[41] In June 2006, Snipes said he hoped to have a director for the project soon.[42] In February 2007, Kevin Feige, president of production for Marvel Studios, reiterated that Black Panther was on Marvel's development slate.[43] By July, John Singleton had been approached to direct the film.[44] In March 2009, Marvel hired writers to help come up with creative ways to launch its lesser-known properties, including Black Panther,[45] with Nate Moore, the head of the writers program, helping to oversee the development of the Black Panther film specifically.[46] In January 2011, Marvel Studios hired documentary filmmaker Mark Bailey to write a script for Black Panther to be produced by Feige.[47] In October 2013, Feige said "I don't know when it will be exactly, but we certainly have plans to bring [Black Panther] to life some day", noting that the Marvel Cinematic Universe had already introduced the metal Vibranium, which comes from Black Panther's home nation Wakanda.[48]

In October 2014, Feige announced that Black Panther would be released on November 3, 2017, with Chadwick Boseman cast in the title role.[3][4] Boseman's hiring "wasn't really an audition process. It was more of a discussion about what they wanted to do and how I saw it and what I wanted to do."[49] The actor was set to first portray the character in Captain America: Civil War, before starring in his own film.[4] Feige said that Marvel was considering minority filmmakers for the director and writer, saying "we're doing what we always do, which is looking for the best filmmakers, the best writers, the best directors possible. So I'm not going to say for sure that we're going to hire from any one demographic, but we're meeting a lot of people." He added that the studio had met with Reginald Hudlin, former writer of the Black Panther comics in the mid-2000s.[50] In January 2015, Boseman said that the film was going through a "brainstorming phase", explaining, "I think right now, it's just going through the possibilities of what he can do... trying to figure out what it looks like and what it should feel like in certain moments. But just going through [the material], because there's always a difference from one story to the next of who he is—trying to find a way to merge those things together."[51] The next month, Marvel pushed back the release date to July 6, 2018,[52] while in April 2015, Feige stated that he would be meeting with directors after the release of Avengers: Age of Ultron at the end of the month, and that "casting is already underway in many ways. Some of which [is known], some of which [is not]."[53]

By May 2015, Marvel had discussions with Ava DuVernay to direct this film or Captain Marvel.[54] In June, Feige confirmed that he had meet with DuVernay alongside a number of other directors and stated he expected a decision to made by mid- to late-2015.[55] By early July 2015, DuVernay had passed on directing the film, explaining that "Marvel has a certain way of doing things and I think they're fantastic and a lot of people love what they do. I loved that they reached out to me... [but] we had different ideas about what the story would be ... we just didn't see eye to eye. Better for me to realize that now than cite creative differences later."[56] Later in the month, DuVernay expanded,

"For me, it was a process of trying to figure out, are these people I want to go to bed with? Because it's really a marriage, and for this it would be three years. It'd be three years of not doing other things that are important to me. So it was a question of, is this important enough for me to do? At one point, the answer was yes because I thought there was value in putting that kind of imagery into the culture in a worldwide, huge way, in a certain way: excitement, action, fun, all those things, and yet still be focused on a black man as a hero—that would be pretty revolutionary. These Marvel films go everywhere from Shanghai to Uganda, and nothing that I probably will make will reach that many people, so I found value in that. That's how the conversations continued, because that's what I was interested in. But ... it's important to me that [my work] be true to who I was in this moment. And if there's too much compromise, it really wasn't going to be an Ava DuVernay film."[57]

By October 2015, F. Gary Gray and Ryan Coogler had been considered to direct the film,[58][59] though negotiations with Coogler had cooled,[59] while Gray chose to direct Fast & Furious 8 instead.[60] Joe Robert Cole, a member of the Marvel writers program, was in talks to write the screenplay,[61] and Marvel changed the release date once again, moving it to February 16, 2018.[62] By December, discussions with Coogler were reignited after the successful opening of his film Creed.[59] Feige described Black Panther as "a big geopolitical action adventure that focuses on the family and royal struggle of T'Challa in Wakanda, and what it means to be a king", while calling the film "a very important" link to Avengers: Infinity War and its sequel.[63][64] He added that the film would be the first Marvel Studios production to feature a "primarily African-American cast".[64][65]

Pre-production

What's so great about Panther is he's a superhero who, if you grab him and ask him if he's a superhero, he'll tell you, 'No.' He sees himself as a politician, as a leader in his country. It just so happens that the country is a warrior-based nation where the leaders have to be warriors, as well, so sometimes he has to go fight.

–Ryan Coogler, director of Black Panther[66]

In January 2016, Coogler was confirmed as director,[67] and explained that he grew up reading comics, so Black Panther "is just as personal to me as the last couple of films I was able to make. I feel really fortunate to be able to work on something I’m this passionate about again."[68][69] The next month, Cole called the film an "historic opportunity to be a part of something important and special, particularly at a time when African-Americans are affirming their identities while dealing with vilification and dehumanization. The image of a black hero on this scale is just really exciting." He added that it was important to approach the themes of the film "from a perspective that is rooted in the cultures of the [African] continent," also stating "we're thinking about where we are locating Wakanda within the continent, and what the people and history of that region are like... [W]e are going to be engaged with consultants who are experts on the continent and on African history and politics."[70] Elaborating on this, Cole noted that there are many African countries, each "with different histories, mythologies, and cultures [so] what we tried to do was hone in on some of the history, some of the cultural influences and then extrapolate out in our technology, extrapolate out in how we see Wakanda and the different parts of the country and the culture of the country as well. So we wanted to root it in reality first and then build out from there, so we’d feel pretty authentic and grounded."[1]

In April 2016, Feige said that Coogler was working on the script with Cole, and that filming would begin at the "very beginning of next year".[71] Feige noted that Civil War laid "the groundwork" for T'Challa's morality, and established the "geopolitical landscape" that he would have to deal with on returning to Wakanda for Black Panther.[72] Civil War also introduced the Wakandan language, based on the Xhosa language which Boseman was taught by John Kani, who first appeared as T'Challa's father T'Chaka in that film.[73] Lupita Nyong'o entered negotiations to star as T'Challa's love interest the next month,[14] and Michael B. Jordan joined in an undisclosed role, after previously working with Coogler on Fruitvale Station and Creed.[9] Coogler discussed working in with the MCU while still creating "a Ryan Coogler movie", saying,

What Marvel’s doing ... 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. I grew up as a comic book fan, and the same things used to happen in the comic books. You’d have Wolverine’s books, and they’d be so much darker and more brutal than the X-Men books, but they’d still fit in when you open the pages of the X-Men book. It’s new to movies, but it’s not new to storytelling.[74]

Later in May, Moore, now serving as a producer on the film, stated that filming would occur in Atlanta, Georgia, with Marvel "definitely investigating shooting in Africa" as well.[46] At San Diego Comic-Con International 2016, Nyong'o was confirmed for the film, in the role of Nakia, while Jordan's role was revealed to be Erik Killmonger. Also announced was Danai Gurira as Okoye, while Coogler confirmed that filming would begin in January 2017.[10][16] Coogler also noted that he and Cole were inspired by Ta-Nehisi Coates' run on Black Panther, who was writing the comic at the time, saying "what he’s doing with Panther is just incredible. You can really see his background as a poet in some of the dialogue. And what Brian Stelfreeze is doing with the visuals in that book. And some of the questions that it’s asking."[66] In September 2016, Winston Duke was cast as M'Baku / Man-Ape, a role that Yahya Abdul-Mateen II also tested for,[18] and Andy Serkis was set to reprise his role as Ulysses Klaue from Avengers: Age of Ultron.[20] The following month, Forest Whitaker was cast as Zuri and Daniel Kaluuya as W'Kabi, with Florence Kasumba revealed to be reprising her role as Ayo from Captain America: Civil War.[12] Letitia Wright was also cast in an unspecified role.[23]

By November, Coogler brought in his Fruitvale Station collaborators Rachel Morrison and Hannah Beachler to serve as cinematographer and production designer, respectively.[75] Also in November, Angela Bassett was cast as T'Challa's mother, Ramonda,[15] and by January 2017, Sterling K. Brown was cast as N'Jobu.[19] Shortly after his casting, Brown stated that Phylicia Rashad had been cast in the film as well.[24] At that time, Marvel received permission from the Oakland-based public transit agency AC Transit to use their logo in the film, for a bus that T'Challa rides in a 1990 flashback to commute to Saint Mary's College High School in Berkeley, California. The setting was chosen due to Coogler's Oakland roots.[76]

Filming

Principal photography had begun by January 21, 2017,[21] at Pinewood Atlanta Studios in Fayette County, Georgia,[77] under the working title Motherland,[78] and is expected to last until June 2017.[11][77] Filming also took place in the Sweet Auburn neighborhood in Atlanta and Atlanta City Hall, the latter serving as a scene taking place at the United Nations.[79] Shortly after filming started, Kani's son Atandwa stated that he would appear in the film alongside his father, the latter reprising the role of T'Chaka,[22] while on set photographs revealed that Martin Freeman would reprise his role as Everett K. Ross.[21]

Release

Black Panther is scheduled to be released in the United Kingdom on February 9, 2018,[64] and in North America on February 16, 2018.[62] It was originally scheduled to be released on November 3, 2017,[3] before moving in February 2015 to July 6, 2018 to accommodate Spider-Man: Homecoming.[52] In October 2015, it moved again to accommodate Ant-Man and the Wasp.[62]
