Welcome to Wakanda, a mystical and hidden place where they have futuristic tech and the Black Panther. The first teaser trailer for Marvel’s Black Panther gives the audience an introduction to the fictional African nation that holds many secrets.
T’Challa, otherwise known as Black Panther, is the newly crowned king of Wakanda. However, Erik Killmonger, is determined to dethrone the Black Panther. But he will have to get passed the Dora Milaje, an all-female special forces squad of bodyguards that are sworn to protect T’Challa.
Here is the movie’s synopsis:
Marvel Studios’ Black Panther follows T’Challa who, after the death of his father, the King of Wakanda, returns home to the isolated, technologically advanced African nation to succeed to the throne and take his rightful place as king. But when a powerful old enemy reappears, T’Challa’s mettle as king—and Black Panther—is tested when he is drawn into a formidable conflict that puts the fate of Wakanda and the entire world at risk. Faced with treachery and danger, the young king must rally his allies and release the full power of Black Panther to defeat his foes and secure the safety of his people and their way of life.
The cast is incredible with Chadwick Boseman reprising his role as T’Challa, Michael B. Jordan as Killmonger, Lupita Nyong’o as Nakia, The Walking Dead‘s Danai Gurira as Okoye, Martin Freeman as Everett K. Ross, Angela Bassett as Ramonda, Forest Whitaker as Zuri, and Andy Serkis as Ulysses Klaue.
Black Panther is directed by Creed‘s Ryan Coogler and Run The Jewels adds to the movie’s soundtrack with “Legend Has It.”
Last July, Coogler told Vulture, “What’s so great about Panther is he’s a superhero who, if you grab him and ask him if he’s a superhero, he’ll tell you, ‘No.’ He sees himself as a politician, as a leader in his country. It just so happens that the country is a warrior-based nation where the leaders have to be warriors, as well, so sometimes he has to go fight.”
Black Panther hits theaters on February 16th, 2018.
