Black Panther next for Marvel Studios?

[Mic-Nificent]

proabably a mixture like the rest of the marvel movies

They'd catch hell for trying the Ultimate Version.

The Ultimate Version of Black Panther is some horrible shyt Jeph Loeb wrote. The character can't talk, isn't a king, was enslaved by the U.S. Government, isn't a genius, got his powers from the U.S. Government, and the best moment the character has to date is getting his ass kicked by Captain America.

I would have been fine had they gone with Nate Parker, but Morris Chestnut. I dunno

Then knowing marvel...they're definitely doing this one

I have no interest in a Black Panther movie if Morris Chestnut is cast. Dude is a shytty actor.
If (and this is a big if because I won't believe Marvel is making this till production starts) this movie gets made and they cast an American actor then they should cast dude from the upcoming Jackie Robinson flick.

wesley snipes interview regarding t'challa:

Actor Wesley Snipes was the first major Hollywood actor to push for a comic book movie franchise with a black male lead when he announced his intentions to make a live-action movie based on the Marvel Comics character T'Challa, aka The Black Panther, back in June 1992. This was before he would turn Marvel's C-list character Blade into a major movie franchise and years before comic book movies became the hottest thing in Hollywood.

"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." -Wesley Snipes, August 1993

Development on The Black Panther continued throughout the '90s and into the early '00s, but due to the success of the Blade franchise, Snipes was no longer thought to be viable in the title role. As late as June 2006, Snipes was still actively working on bringing T'Challa to the big screen. Marvel President of Production Kevin Feige confirmed in February 2007 that The Black Panther was on Marvel Studios' slate of projects in development.

During the recent San Diego Comic-Con, I bumped into Wesley at the EW/SyFy party and asked him if he was still interested in starring as T'Challa in The Black Panther movie. Snipes said:

"I think they [the studio] think I'm too old now."

When I asked him if he would take the role if it was offered to him, he said:

"Only if they do it right. It would have to be big, epic...Wakanda, the whole deal."

Snipes showed that he's keeping abreast of what's happening with the character when I ased him if he was aware of The Black Panther animated series produced by Marvel and BET:

"Oh, yeah. Reggie Hudlin developed that."

Since so many involved with Marvel's current slate of films were present at the party, including Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Tom Hiddleston, Kat Dennings and Joss Whedon, I asked Snipes if he thought the Black Panther might show up in The Avengers and he left me with a very nebulous response:

"You never know."

 

[Jello Biafra]

I could see Snipes playing T'Chaka in flashbacks.

 

[Ukbrotha]

As said in the other thread, John boyega or chiwetel ejiofor would be my pics. It might be a ill much for John as he's still young and inexperienced but it would be a good opportunity for him to shine.

Also what about Tony Mackie?

[Jello Biafra]

I am a Wesley fan and he would have been a great T'Challa back in the day but that dude is old as fukk by Hollywood standards now so he could only be cast as the Panther's dad. Aint nobody looking for a 50 year old Black Panther.

agree that Snipes would have been the ideal candidate in his younger years; but the flashback scenario you mentioned makes no sense

How exactly does it not make sense? They can show T'Challa as a boy learning life lessons about leading and whatnots rom his pops and then show how Klaw killed T'Chaka which is how T'Challa became the new ruler of Wakanda and The Black Panther since that mantle has to be passed down from one BP to the next.
That way the movie can start with T'Challa already being in place as king and Black Panther.

 

[Mic-Nificent]

You can't tell the story of Black Panther without also telling the story of Wakanda. That means mentioning or showing previous Black Panthers and showing Wakanda for the technological marvel that it should be.
