Chadwick Boseman Says His Black Panther Will Be an 'Anti-Hero' Superhero

Click HERE for the video.

Black Panther, meet Walter White?

According to star Chadwick Boseman, his onscreen version of the famed Marvel Comics character will have some "anti-hero" traits when Black Panther arrives on screen in 2018.

"This is an anti-hero, sort of," Boseman said inside the PEOPLE/EW/InStyle portrait studio at the Toronto International Film Festival on Friday, using a term used often reserved for characters like White on Breaking Bad, Tony Soprano on The Sopranos and Don Draper on Mad Men. "I feel like although he is a superhero, he is a super anti-hero."

Boseman is in Toronto to promote the revenge thriller Message from the King, in which he stars alongside Teresa Palmer, and Luke Evans as a South African man who comes to Los Angeles looking for the people responsible for the death of his sister. The 39-year-old star says the film, which had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on Thursday, includes an invisible connection to Black Panther: Boseman's dialect coach.

"I ended up using the same dialect coach I had from Message from a King, who worked with me personally along with Marvel's dialect coach on Black Panther," Boseman said of his Panther prep work. "Those are two characters based in continental Africa, so some of that cultural aspect of it, the swagger, parts of the dialect you may use – that cultural exploration is definitely something that transferred over [from one role to the next]."

Boseman made his debut as Black Panther in May's Captain America: Civil War, and will appear in the standalone movie Black Panther, to be released February 16, 2018. Lupita Nyong'o, Danai Gurira, and Michael B. Jordan are set as costars.

Asked if he felt different putting on Black Panther's suit for the movie, Boseman joked, "I'm Black Panther even outside the suit."

As long as its as good as Ant-Man, we'll be good. They can then improve on whatever flaws the solo film has in its sequel(s).
i did not see ant man and i know it won't be on that level, because disney is not ready to make that kind of a film

Making a BP film isn't that difficult. Action/Adventure with several sci-fi elements, political intrigue, a bit of mysticism, and character development. That's the BP movie in a nutshell.

BP fans who are hoping for the movie to become a straight up black empowerment project have to prepare themselves to let that go: this film is a multi-million dollar project owned by Disney. We aren't gonna get that.

What we can hope for--and expect--is for this film with a majority black cast to show competent characters across the board, from T'Challa to the rest of the supporting cast. That alone will send a big message in a major way.

I've been reading a notable amount of folks using the 3rd world stuff to describe Coates' Wakanda and to be honest, I don't see it.

The Golden City looks as advanced and grandiose as it usually is. And the Priest and Hudlin runs have already established that outside of the main cities of Wakanda, the rest of the country is rather rural and somewhat old fashioned. That so far hasn't changed in this current run.

It also can't be cuz of the terrorist attacks as many developed nations--especially in modern history--have been victims of terrorist attacks as well.

I'm not a fan of some of the notable decisions Coates has made for the run (the rape camps for example). However, Coates' Wakanda isn't 3rd world. Going through turmoil? Yes. Third world status? No, based on what I've seen so far.
Suicide bombers, rape camps, constant terrorist attacks
