Bosco685 Posted January 27, 2017 Author Share Posted January 27, 2017 Andy Serkis' Klaw Officially Joins Marvel's BLACK PANTHER Movie An official Marvel Studio press release for director Ryan Coogler's Black Panther has been unveiled, confirming that Andy Serkis' Klaw is set to return to the MCU after debuting in Age of Ultron. It seems that you can add Andy Serkis' Klaw to the villainous ranks of Marvel's Black Panther movie. He joins Michael B. Jordan's Erik Killmonger and Winston Duke's M'Baku aka Man-Ape as known antagonists. Fans have long suspected that Serkis would reprise his Avengers: Age of Ultron role in T'Challa's standalone feature and today, Marvel provided confirmation. Curiously absent is Phylicia Rashad, who was rumored to have a role after Sterling K. Brown inadvertently name-dropped the Creed supporting actress in a recent interview.

boomtown Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 On 9/23/2016 at 4:24 PM, grebal said: The term "Black Panther" in the 60s when T'challa character was created had some baggage as anti-establishment because of the movement. It's very possible that has zero meaning, but it could also be wherefrom the bad boy rep sprung. I wonder if the creation of the Black Panther character had anything to do with the Black Panther Party name. Marvel published Fantastic Four #52 in July of 1966, so the character had to be created sometime before May 1966. The Black Panther Party was formed in October of 1966, 3 months after the comics publication date, with 3 members at the time. In the early 1970s it did create a problem as Marvel actually changed the Black Panthers name to the Black Leopard for one issue (Fantastic Four 119), before switching it back to Black Panther in his next appearance.

Thanks, didn't know those were the dates, in retrospect my comment was silly given the timing -no way marvel's editors would've made that kind of political statement given the nature of the mid-60s..

Bosco685 Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 Kevin Feige Gushes Over Black Panther's High-Class Storytelling Quote Kevin Feige, the mastermind behind the MCU, knows Black Panther is one of the most anticipated movies on the Marvel slate, and that’s including juggernauts like Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and Avengers: Infinity War. “I think it’s two things,” Feige told pop culture website Vulture. “Black Panther is a huge part of the Marvel Comics mythology, and has been for 50-plus years. Other than his awesome, relatively brief appearance in Civil War, his history has been relatively untapped.” “Every day, seeing that cast come together … it’s just amazing,” Feige reflected. “Across the board, it’s the highest-class cast we’ve had on a first movie." Feige went on to reiterate his excitement for the movie and the diversity of the cast. “The cast looks different than any of the other casts that we’ve had. Both in front of and behind the camera, it’s almost entirely people of color,” he said. “Which I think is a special, important thing, and one of the reasons the film will be unique and as great as I think it’s going to be.” ComicConnoisseur 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkman Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 (edited) On 2/11/2017 at 6:48 PM, boomtown said: I wonder if the creation of the Black Panther character had anything to do with the Black Panther Party name. The name originates from a SNCC-run voting campaign in Lowndes county, Alabama, in which an organization known as the Lowndes County Freedom Organization (LFCO) attempted to establish themselves as an independent political party to rival the all-white Dem ocrat party . Many people in the county were illiterate, so both parties had to come up with mascots to differentiate themselves. The Dems picked a white rooster, and the LFCO picked a black panther, which according to LFCO chairman John Hulett, "is an animal that when pressured moves back until it is cornered, then it comes out fighting for life and death. We felt we had been pushed back long enough and that it was time for Negroes to come out and take over." The imagery of the Black Panther became so powerful that Stokely Carmichael began to promote it as a symbol for the entire Black Power movement across America, but it wasn't until a pamphlet about voter registration in Alabama reached a young Huey Newton at the UC Berkeley campus that the name began to describe what we know today as the Black Panthers. Basically, he saw the logo, was impressed and inspired by what it stood for and what had been accomplished under its banner, and essentially adopted it for his and Bobby Seale's new group in Oakland.

Drummy Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Like the tone and the imagery of the trailer...some CGI that needs to be cleaned up, as always, but the movie promises to be stylish and visually appealing. Just hope the -script and the story pushes our understanding of the Panther forward. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
