Black Panther’s Chadwick Boseman reveal details from the Marvel flick

It’s still seven months from release, but Black Panther’s cast and crew have revealed new details about the flick centered on Marvel Comics’ first black superhero.

Michael B. Jordan, Chadwick Boseman, and Lupita Nyong’o appear as their characters on the cover of EW’s annual Comic-Con double issue, which hits newsstands Friday.

‘What makes him different from other superheroes, first and foremost, is he doesn’t see himself as a superhero. He sees himself as a politician,’ director Ryan Coogler told the mag.

‘In this movie, a lot like politics, it’s a little tricky to define who’s [a good guy]. The film very much plays with those concepts, looking at conflicts and different motivations, and who’s with who.’

40-year-old Boseman revealed that the T’Challa stand-alone film will revisit unresolved issues from last year’s Captain America: Civil War.

‘It [explores] his mourning process, his connection to why his father [T’Chaka] was killed, and feeling like he should have been able to do something about it,’ the South Carolina-born star explained.

‘All that ties into how he’s going to rule.’

T’Challa’s armor is famously made from Vibranium, the mystical metal mined in his royal kingdom of Wakanda, which also comprised Captain America’s shield.

The Afro-futurist paradise – pretending to be an impoverished third-world nation to the outside world – lures the one-armed poacher Ulysses Klaue played by Andy Serkis.

‘As long as he can amass fortune and cause disruption in the world at the same time, I think he’s a happy man,’ the 53-year-old Englishman said.

Black Panther marked an unlikely reunion for the Golden Globe nominee and his Hobbit castmate Martin Freeman, who portrays ‘totally competent’ CIA operative Everett K. Ross.

After Andy’s Ulysses breaks Erik Killmonger (Jordan) out of a CIA prison, the antagonistic Wakanda dissident attempts to overthrow T’Challa from his throne.

34-year-old Lupita takes on the role of T’Challa’s love interest Nakia, who’s ‘an undercover operative traveling the world to protect Wakanda’s interests and hunt its enemies.’

‘In her journey in this film, she has to really choose between her passion for her calling and her passion for her king,’ the Oscar winner explained.

Back on February 16, the Queen of Katwe stunner shared a mysterious Instagram snap of herself getting a cast made of her head and shoulders – which was very likely for Black Panther.

Nyong’o – who boasts 7.3M social media followers – ominously teased: ‘More than a facial…’

The exciting ensemble also features Oscar nominee Angela Bassett, Oscar winner Forest Whitaker, Get Out’s Daniel Kaluuya, and The Walking Dead’s Danai Gurira.

Fans can catch more of Black Panther and the kingdom of Wakanda when the highly-anticipated Marvel flick finally hit US/UK theaters February 16 of next year.

‘Creating a character named Black Panther, who comes across in those early comics as smarter than everybody else, is shrewder than everybody else, comes from a country that is more advanced than any other country…They were doing this in the sixties, right in the middle of the Civil Rights movement,’ Marvel president Kevin Feige mused.

‘That’s pretty good, and we are certainly not going to shy away from that.’
