EXCUSE ME, but lemme break it down for you guys. The MCU has been going on for 10 YEARS. Within those 10 YEARS, no movie has EVER been nominated for a Golden Globe until now. Not one.
The film—the first with a black superhero, a black director, and a mostly black cast—is being hailed as nothing short of revolutionary.
So, we’ve come up with some book selections for every kind of Black Panther fan, from the movie-goers who’ve never read the comics to the long-time completists. Whether you just saw the movie or think you’ve read every comic in the series, we think we have a suggestion for you.
Though Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther film is still a few years out from release, Michael B. Jordan’s latest statements have now thrown fans into a tizzy as they wait to see Wakanda’s hero in action.
Rumors have been swirling that Michael B. Jordan and Lupita Nyong’o would be attached to the upcoming films, and in a recent interview, Michael confirmed his casting through an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
He said, “I’m super excited, especially to put a different spin on it. I’m looking forward to working with Ryan [Coogler] once again. It’s gonna be a good time. I can’t wait to work with Lupita Nyong’o and Chadwick Boseman.”
If taken for his word, it looks like Lupita has also joined Black Panther’s growing cast following her critically acclaimed work in 12 Years A SlaveandStar Wars: The Force Awakens.
While there is no word on which roles Michael or Lupita will be carrying, fans are already speculating whether Lupita will act as a love interest for Chadwick Boseman’s T’Challa following his appearance in Captain America: Civil War.
As for Michael, he is not the first actor swap superhero spandex by working with new film studios. Like the Human Torch before him, Chris Evans also worked with Fox for two Fantastic Four films before being recruited by Marvel to play Captain America.
