This guy is white??!
Yea, he's white, you didn't know?!
It's a big reason why he's such an extremist. He wants to fit in reaaalllllll bad, but not only is he a foreigner, he straight up doesn't even look like the average Wakandan at all. He can't even blend in.
T'Chaka knew that so he put him in charge of the Hatute Zeraze
.As for him showing up...I'm not sure he will in the solo. Maybe the sequals, but who knows.
I'm def down for Killmonger to be involved. Perhaps a partnership with Klaw. @Ziggiy brought up a good point about Klaw: now that he isn't the one who kills T'Chaka in the MCU, his purpose just decreased tremendously. So he'll be part of a bigger scheme and maybe isn't the leader of it.

Marvel’s universe grows even more diverse with Black Panther, which is slated for a feature release in 2018. Moore is now getting his due for his behind-the-scenes influence.

Nate Moore has achieved a “marvel” feat of his own: going from reading comics as a kid to landing as executive producer alongside Marvel mastermind Stan Lee himself for the iconic brand’s latest global smash, Captain America: Civil War.
To say that this is worlds away from what he knew growing up with a single mother, two sisters, an older brother and a love for the movies in Clovis, Calif., a midsize town over three hours from Los Angeles, would be far from cliché. An internship at Columbia Pictures led to Moore’s first industry job as an assistant, as well as his first brush with Marvel, working on Spider-Man. A little over six years ago, he officially joined the universe and has helped spread the Marvel magic to a new generation on the big screen.
The Root caught up with Moore in Atlanta and talked about his rise at Marvel and, of course, lots of Black Panther.
The Root: When you first joined Marvel, what did you do?
Nate Moore: I worked on the Marvel Writers Program. So the idea with the writers program was to develop all of the characters that weren’t currently on the slate. At the time, they were in preproduction on Captain America 1 [The First Avenger]and Thor, but characters like Black Panther, Dr. Strange, Iron Fist and Guardians of the Galaxy were in the Writers Program, so I was trying to figure out ways to get those scripts into shape so that they could be made into movies.
While I was in there, I was able, with Nicole Perlman [first woman to write a Marvel film], to get Guardians of the Galaxy up to the point where we were going to make the movie, which was great, but we also needed to make Captain America 2 [The Winter Soldier], so [Marvel President] Kevin Feigesaid, “Hey, I know you helped to make Guardians, so will you help me with Captain America 2?” and of course I said, “Yeah,” because I’m not crazy. And so that’s how I ended up on Captain America 2 [The Winter Soldier]. Markus McFeely crafted that story, introduced the Falcon and hired Joe and Anthony Russo, and that film did really well, so they kept the team together for Captain America 3 and I sort of was promoted from co-producer to executive producer.
TR: Since you’ve been there, Marvel’s universe has gotten really diverse. We’ve seen Don Cheadle in Iron Man, Anthony Mackie in Captain America, Zoe Saldana in Guardians of the Galaxy and now Chadwick Boseman starring in Black Panther. Is this a coincidence?
NM: I think it is a reflection of the characters [already in the comic books]. Like, for me, Captain America and the Falcon were always together, so when I started Captain America: Winter Soldier, the first thing I talked to Markus McFeely about was how do we bring the Falcon into the universe, because that’s a character that resonates with me. For Civil War, when we were looking for the character who could stand next to Captain America and Iron Man and feel like an equal, the first character I thought of was Black Panther because, again, for me that was the character as a kid that I responded to. So yeah, I think it’s sort of a reflection of what I liked as a kid, and I liked black superheroes because they were a reflection of my experience.

TR: Let’s talk Black Panther.
NM: I think [Civil War] does a great job introducing the character and making him somebody you’re immediately interested in and want to know more about. The Black Panther standalone movie now gets to explore the world of Wakanda, the most technologically advanced nation in the heart of Africa, which is amazing. It’s really compelling, and Black Panther has a great cast of characters around him that’s really interesting.
So it gets to be a movie that is going to be a predominantly black cast, whether it’s African American or African, on sort of the scale that you don’t get to see all the time. For us, it’s Mission Impossible; it is a globe-trotting, action-adventure movie, but with really interesting casting. Ryan Coogler, who is directing it, is super talented and I think sees this film as an opportunity not only to really entertain but also to tackle some really interesting issues.
TR: Why is Ryan Coogler the right director?
NM:I think he’s going to tell a really great story. Just his approach to Wakanda, I think, is really compelling. It is both faithful to what happens in the comic, but also contemporary in a way that comics sometimes aren’t. His ideas for casting are really cool. His ideas for action are really cool. We are officially in preproduction [in May], so it’s happening and it’s really exciting, and he’s co-writing it with a writer named Joe Robert Cole.
TR: Isn’t he black, and didn’t he write and co-produce on The People v. O.J. Simpson?
NM:Yeah. I think he ended up writing three episodes for that show, and he came out of our Marvel Writers Program. He’s super talented as well. It’s interesting because he spent a lot of time in the Bay [Area], so they have some interesting shared history, and I think together they are coming up with some really cool ideas.
TR: So what makes Chadwick Boseman, whom we know as Jackie Robinson from 42 and James Brown in Get on Up, Black Panther?
NM:There’s such a gravitas to his performance. Even on set, I think the other actors were sort of surprised because Marvel films, when we’re filming, are actually really fun and everyone’s kind of playful. Chadwick is very serious and sort of has this bearing that forces you to pay attention and also kind of forces you to not joke around so much because he’s so good, even in stillness. Like even when he’s not saying anything, everybody just sort of can’t help but look at him. So, in the film, I think you really feel that. You feel that everyone else goes, “Oh, I have to take that guy seriously.” And he moves on the screen in a way that’s really amazing.
When we cast him, the truth is we had only really seen 42. I always remember the scene in the tunnel where he loses it and he can only do it in private, and we were like, that kind of strength is something we want this character to have. And he’s also a chameleon because, when you look at all those movies, he’s so different. Jackie Robinson is so different from his James Brown, and I think will be much different, I’m sure, than his Thurgood Marshall.
TR: How have audiences responded to Black Panther so far?
NM: Now that the film is out, the response to Panther is so strong because we took the time to do it right. ... Now we can just tell a really good story for Black Panther, and they’re going to come to that, too.
Captain America: Civil War is in theaters now. Black Panther is slated for a 2018 release.

Coogler already boolin with the other Marvel directors 
“One of the nice aspects of working at Marvel is the interaction with the other directors and writers,” says Peyton Reed, who is currently developing Ant-Man and the Wasp. “ In Hollywood, directors don't always hang out with each other. We're generally too self-absorbed, egotistical and focused on our own things. So it's cool to see Taika {Waititi} or Scott {Derrickson} in the hallway and talk about whatever. It's fun to have a meal with James {Gunn} and discuss what we're doing. It's awesome to have Ryan Coogler in the office next to mine. It taps into that Marvel Bullpen fantasy for me.”

Damn, were sales low? Why the cancellation?
Sales were good, but it takes a lot of money and time with R&D. They said 3rd parties such as EA can take over the license though.

Thoughts Regarding The Depiction Of Black Heroism As Portrayed In Captain America:Civil War
Written by: Ziggiy
“Hiiipower: the three i’s represent heart, honor and respect. That’s how we carry ourselves in the world, period. Hiiipower, it basically is the simplest form of representing just being above all the madness, all the bullshyt. No matter what the world is going through, you’re always going to keep your dignity and carry yourself with this manner that it don’t phase you. Whatever you think negative is in your life. Overcoming that and still having that self-respect.
everybody raise three fingers in the air, the sky is falling the wind is calling, stand for something or die in the morning”
Kendrick Lamar
The concept of black heroism in mainstream American cinema has had a long, complex, and rather disappointing history. Often times, the “token” character of color within the genre of superhero films exists to serve one of two purposes, that to serve as comic relief or the “good friend” (servant) of the main protagonist on his/her path towards victory. 1998’s Blade, starring Wesley Snipes helped to establish a cunning, determined, and undeniably masculine and capable black hero within a world where only he possesses the capabilities to defeat vampiric entities hell bent on conquering the world. That film went onto gross more than $131.2 million worldwide, at the time considered a huge financial success, and spawning two more sequels. Ten years later, Will Smith’s Hancock; about a troubled amnesiac superhero struggling to rediscover his own sense of valor, grossed more than $620 million worldwide. These two examples could serve as proof that there is indeed an audience for black protagonists as leading material within the superhero/fantasy genre, and yet when Marvel Studios began laying the groundwork to birth their most popular comic properties into a full fledged cinematic universe, it would apparently take 7 years, 11 films, and over 9.3 BILLION DOLLARS in grosses before Kevin Feige (Studio Chief Of Marvel Films) and Disney decided it was time for Black protagonists to graduate from side-kick to lead. So when it was announced that Black Panther, the first Black superhero to debut in mainstream comics back in 1966, was to be featured prominently not only in Marvel’s 12th cinematic outing, Captain America: Civil War; but also star in his OWN forthcoming solo film, it was met with an outcry of jubilance….and also trepidation. This was not the first time a major Hollywood studio (Disney) had introduced a bonafide black “lead” character into the mythos of an enormously popular franchise, only to portray that character as an emasculated coward whose entire existence served to highlight the strengths of his white counterparts. And with that in mind, the less said about Star Wars: The Force Awakens Finn, the better.

The Dora Milaje from Cap: Civil War that faced off with Black Widow. From this scene:
Just finished reading issue 2 of Black Panther and MAN if you are a fan of Shuri you will more than likely enjoy this issue
Also finished Ultimates 7, and while it's a huge setup for the Civil War 2 crossover (meaning Carol,Danvers gets the majority of screen time) Black Panther gets a crucial scene near the end. I'll just say that BP threatened to take a toy from Blue Marvel's sandbox if he acts up
