BLACK PANTHER Is Getting His Own LEGO Movie Titled TROUBLE IN WAKANDA

 

 

Quote

At the New York Comic-Con this weekend, it was announced that Marvel Animation is teaming up with the LEGO Group for a movie starring Black Panther. Marvel's VP of Animation Cort Lane made the news official when he revealed that the title will be Black Panther: Trouble in Wakanda but no further details were revealed. However, chances are it will head straight to DVD/Blu-ray as opposed to theaters.

That means it probably won't quite be up there with The LEGO Batman Movie and will be more along the lines of past animated projects like LEGO Marvel Super Heroes: Maximum Overload. Those always come bundled with a LEGO minifigure and that should make this a must-have for toy collectors.

Black Panther Is Getting a LEGO TV Special

Quote

Marvel Animation is getting in on the LEGO movie magic by bringing their first solo minifigure film to life.

At New York Comic Con, Marvel Animation announced it would be teaming up with LEGO for a Black Panther TV special, titled Black Panther: Trouble in Wakanda. This marks the second Black Panther project on the docket from Marvel, with a live-action film set to debut in February.

Previously, Marvel Animation released LEGO Marvel Super Heroes: Maximum Overload. The previous film, however, was an ensemble flick while the new Black Panther title will center around only the Wakandan hero. If Black Panther: Trouble in Wakanda is to follow in the footsteps of LEGO Marvel Super Heroes: Maximum Overload the special will most likely go straight to DVD.

Black Panther Is Getting His Own Lego Movie

Quote

As it turns out, T'challa will also be getting his own LEGO movie, Black Panther: Trouble in Wakanda.

 

Details were scarce at New York Comic-Con where the announcement was made (via Newsarama). Beyond the title, nothing was confirmed, though the project is described as a "Marvel LEGO special" which would seem to imply this will be either a direct to Blu-Ray release, or even something that will air on television, like a Disney Channel movie. This almost certainly won't be a feature film. It seems like an odd place to start for a Marvel LEGO feature anyway. There have been other LEGO/Marvel projects in the past, but none of them have seen the big screen. Since Warner Bros., that owns DC, also produces the LEGO feature films, a Marvel-branded one is fairly unlikely.

 

Having said that, making a Black Panther LEGO movie is certainly a move that makes sense. Millions more people are familiar with the character following his introduction in Captain America: Civil War, and his standalone movie is coming out early next year. Now is the time to strike while the iron is hot when it comes to Black Panther.

Voice Cast Announced for LEGO Black Panther: Trouble in Wakanda

Quote

After announcing LEGO Black Panther: Trouble in Wakanda back in October, Marvel has finally announced the voice cast for the forthcoming special which will air on Disney X_D later this summer.

 

The LEGO special comes after the massive success of Marvel Studios’ Black Panther, which just passed The Avengers to become the highest-grossing comic book ever stateside, and will feature various characters from the blockbuster film. Returning to voice T’Challa is James Mathis III (Marvel’s Avengers Assemble), joining him are Keston John (Bosch) as Killmonger, Daisy Lightfoot (Horizon: Zero Dawn) as Shuri, Yvette Nicole Brown (Community) as Okoye, Trevor Devall (Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy) as Klaue, Mick Wingert (Kung Fu Panda) as Iron Man, Travis Willingham (Sonic Boom) as Thor, Roger Craig Smith (Marvel’s Avengers Assemble) as Captain America, Laura Bailey (Marvel’s Spider-Man) as Black Widow, Fred Tatasciore (Family Guy) as Hulk, Liam O’Brien (Critical Role) as Doctor Strange, and Issac C. Singleton Jr. (Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy) as Thanos.

 

The special is set to premiere on Disney X_D this summer and will see the King of Wakanda endure some hardships on the throne. According to the synopsis, following Thanos’ arrival from outer space and his threat to destroy Earth, the Black Panther is forced to leap into action and try to bring him own alongside Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. However, it isn’t just Thanos they’re forced to take on; rogue villains Killmonger and Klaue will team up with the Mad Titan to bring the fight to Wakanda, and Black Panther and the Avengers will need to defeat them before Wakanda is destroyed.

 

This marks the latest special for Disney X_D, following the previous collaborations between Marvel & the LEGO Group: LEGO Marvel Super Heroes: Maximum Overload, and LEGO Marvel Super Heroes – Guardians of the Galaxy: The Thanos Threat.
