After the trailer for the upcoming "Captain America: Civil War" was released, actor Chadwick Boseman revealed what Black Panther's role will be in the third installment of the film.
It was earlier confirmed that the movie will be an avenue to introduce new superheroes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which include Black Panther who will have his own stand-alone movie in 2018. Collider reports that in an interview, Boseman revealed that Black Panther still does not know where he stands in the battle between Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) and Captain America (Chris Evans).
Boseman also revealed that things will be quite a challenge for the superhero as he is torn between how things are done in his home planet Wakanda and the things that are needed to be done in the new world. He added that Black Panther is pressured to live up to his father's legacy and also to the expectations of the Wakanda nation.
The actor hinted that Black Panther and Captain America will be butting heads in the movie, but he added that although there may be conflict between them, there are things very similar between the two characters. Boseman said that both heroes are selfless people and that they only want to do the right thing. He believes that when they are not wearing their suits, the two can be good friends.
It was earlier reported that Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige said that they needed a third party in the conflict between Iron Man and Captain America, and the believed that the character of Black Panther perfectly fit the role.
Meanwhile, Slash Film reports that the new Black Panther suit was recently revealed, and it was said to be constructed with Vibranium which is a fictional metal described to be indestructible. It was also the same metal that was used to craft Captain America's shield.
"Captain America: Civil War" will be in theaters on May 6, 2016 while Black Panther's solo film is scheduled for February 16, 2018.
