Captain America: Civil War: 115 Things to Know
Chadwick Boseman
- This isn’t an origin story for Black Panther. He’s thrown into the middle of it.
– We meet T’Challa as a monarch/politician, not as a superhero.
– There is a Wakandan accent.
– On putting on the costume for the first time: “It’s hot. It’s blazing hot. Listen, it’s so hot. I’ve never been that hot before in my life, seriously.”
– Black Panther sees a fair share of action in the movie.
– Black Panther isn’t even a superhero in the mythology of Wakanda. “He’s a warrior, and it’s part of their tradition. It’s not like he’s like, “Who is that masked guy that’s doing this stuff?” Everybody knows it’s him, and they expect that it’s him, and they pray to God, or even praying to him in some cases, that he would do the things that he’s doing. Which is much different than most of the superheroes in which you don’t know their identity and you don’t know when they might show up. There’s an expectation that’s much different. So that’s the main difference.”
– Says Black Panther is “a tactician. He’s a strategist, so he appreciates that thought process. So it’s both sides.”
– Wakanda is known to the world.
– The character rules Wakanda, but since they’re not in Wakanda in this movie…
– They say that Boseman adds real gravitas to the role of Black Panther. He’s also “got a movement style that he brought because he has a background in martial arts and it’s fascinating. He moves like none of the other characters in the universe.”
More stuff:
– Black Widow has a tricky arc to track in this film, and Black Panther was tough too because he’s an outsider in the midst of a “family fight”.
– On balancing Black Panther’s role in this film with his upcoming solo film: “There’s still plenty of story that we still have great ideas for the standalone movie. But you get enough of it in this movie that I think you are going to be happy.”
– They had a lot of freedom with crafting Black Panther and didn’t have to worry about his upcoming solo film.
This shyt got me hyped....
To me, this is already the best superhero suit ever in a film. I truly mean that. I might have to get a replica mask if one is ever made available....
