History Film / BlackPanther2018

''Black Panther'' is the upcoming eighteenth film in the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse, set for release in 2018, and directed by [[Film/FruitvaleStation Ryan]] [[Film/{{Creed}} Coogler]]. It stars Creator/ChadwickBoseman as [[ComicBook/BlackPanther T'Challa,]] ruler of the [[HiddenElfVillage secluded African nation Wakanda]]. While much isn't known about the film as of yet, it also stars Creator/AndySerkis as Ulysses Klaue, as well as Creator/LupitaNyongo and Creator/MichaelBJordan in unspecified roles.

* SerkisFolk: How Klaue's sound form will likely be rendered, if he does undergo his transformation in this movie. No surprise, given how the movie has Creator/AndySerkis, the TropeNamer, as part of the cast.

* MonochromeCasting: [[DownplayedTrope]], as the cast will feature a cast that is 90% African or African-American.

It stars Creator/ChadwickBoseman as [[ComicBook/BlackPanther the comic book character]] T'Challa, the ruler of the African nation Wakanda and thus a very important figure in the MCU as he controls the supply of the extremely rare metal vibranium (the stuff Captain America's shield is made from). Andy Serkis stars as his nemesis Ulysses Klaue, last seen making a back alley deal with Ultron that didn't end well for him. [[Film/FruitvaleStation Ryan]] [[Film/{{Creed}} Coogler]] directs.

!!Tropes:

* SuperSoldier: T'Challa's powerset. He's able to [[SuperSpeed run at freeway speeds]], [[SuperToughness withstand blows that would kill or disable most people]], [[SuperReflexes catch arrows]], and fight toe-to-toe with ''other'' super-soldiers like Cap or Bucky.

* AnimalThemedSuperbeing: Panthers serve as the basis for T'Challa's powers.

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: Unlike most MCU films, which typically feature a WhiteMaleLead with the {{Deuteragonist}} being black, ''Black Panther'' will be the first to feature a person of color as the protagonist. In addition, most MCU movies are typically set in either the United States or Europe, but ''Black Panther'' will be set in [[Bulungi a (fictional) African country]] and will feature a (mostly) [[MonochromeCasting black cast]].

* WhereTheHellIsSpringfield: Wakanda's location in the MCU is, well, [[IncrediblyLamePun all over the map]]. In ''Film/IronMan2'' [[http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/marvelcinematicuniverse/images/6/61/Wakanda_Low.png/revision/latest?cb=20160222160011 it's in West Africa,]] bordered by Kenya and Tanzania. But in ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron'' Vibranium smuggler and Black Panther foe Klaue operates out of South Africa, and in ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar'', T'Challa and T'Chaka speak [[http://www.cinemablend.com/new/What-Language-Black-Panther-Actually-Speaking-Captain-America-Civil-War-129187.html Xhosa,]] a South African language.
