Marvel's upcoming Black Panther movie was pushed back to a 2018 release date this year, but details about the film are still slowly trickling out. In a recent interview withEmpire Magazine, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige confirmed Creed's Ryan Coogler, who had been in talks to direct Black Panther, will now officially direct.

Feige also said the Black Panther character is important because of his influence on the upcoming Avengers films, Infinity War Parts 1 and 2. "Not only do you get an unbelievable lead character, but you also get all of Wakanda which is a whole new setting and culture to explore," Feige said, according to Polygon.


Feige also noted that the movie would feature a "majority black cast," although the only confirmed castmember so far is Chadwick Boseman as T'Challa. The movie is set for release on July 6th, 2018.

UPDATE: CREED's RYAN COOGLER NOT Confirmed as BLACK PANTHER Director

Updated December 31, 2015 at 4:21 p.m. E.T.: Since the posting of this article,Variety has back-tracked on its confirmation of Coogler as Black Panther's director and deleted their article and tweet.

Looking into The Verge's source of Empire, the article they're referring to does not in fact confirm Coogler's hiring.

Original Story: Creed director Ryan Coogler has been confirmed by Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige as director of 2018's Black Panther movie, according to Varietyand Empire (via The Verge). Coogler has been previously rumored to be in the running for the role, but has apparently now been offered -- and accepted -- a contract.

Black Panther is scheduled to open in theaters July 6, 2018 with Chadwick Boseman in the title role. No other actors have been announced, but in the Empire interview Feige said it would be a "majority black cast."

Of course this doesn't mean he won't.
