Marvel‘s ‘Black Panther‘ has found itself a leading man.

Yes, 48 years after he was first introduced as the first ever black super hero, ‘Panther’ is to be portrayed by  Chadwick Boseman in the big screen retelling of his story.

Good news below…

Now standing as the second black superhero to score his own feature length flick after ‘Blade‘, ‘Panther’ will rock the big screen on November 3rd 2017, calling on Boseman’s to take on the lead role.

Fortunately for the character’s fans, ‘The Avengers: Age of Ultron’ is set to tease them with movie, hinting at what they can expect from the release before Marvel reveals which actress is to play his African-American love interest Monica Lynne. 

Chadwick’s role in this project will follow his portrayal of legendary singer James Brown in the movie ‘Get On Up.

It is also unknown if the movie will boast an appearance from Panther’s ex-wife Ororo Munroe…better known as Storm.

    LOL Marvel saw DC was coming with more diversity when it comes to female characters and heroes of different races and finally took some steps to change their one dimensional cinematic universe (which by the way is too childish for me most of the times, way better blockbusters out there and without the need of all this constant hype: Dawn of the Planet of teh Apes, Interstellar, Edge of Tomorrow, etc).

    Bout time! DC (somewhat) got them together. I was sick of Black heroes BEHIND the White hero.

    But how many major Black superheroes are there. First and foremost, the reason why Black superheroes rarely make it onto films is because Black ppl don’t support Black films unless they’re typical ratchet comedies. There have been several attempts at making films for Black Panther for years. Not to mention, several major superheroes like Robin, Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter, Cyborg and villains like Catwoman, Black Adam and Apocalypse have had Black renditions throughout the years, so whether or not to make certain characters Black or Whote, has always been a major issue as well. Last time I checked, no major Black superhero in the DC universe has a film to themselves and Marvel already gave us Blade, Storm and Falcon.

    The fact that this post only has like 10 to 11 comments says alot about most of the people who come on this site music related or not. If this is true this will be a really big deal for Black people all around the world. This will showcase a different image of Black people. A proud strong and non Ghetto & progressive side of our community that is rarely shown in the media or in public to most young kids. Yet no one on here or any other Urban blog will care. Yet if this was about Nicki being an ass hole or the cast of Love & Hip Hop fighting people on here would care. #PartOfTheProblem
