'Black Panther' Writer Spills New Details on the Story and MCU Impact
Captain America: Civil War has launched phase 3 with huge success, and in the near future we'll be seeing Doctor Strange and Spider-Man: Homecoming, with Black Panther soon after.
Anticipation for Black Panther is high considering how long before it finally bows in cinemas. Writer Joe Robert Cole recently spoke about what we can expect from the film, and when in the MCU world it takes place.
"Our standalone movie will begin shortly after Civil War ends. So we’ll be able to see him mourning and him starting to take command as king of his own nation. Lots of things are going to occur within regards to that.
"The country will be under threat from inside and out so we’ll learn what Wakanda is, that nation, as the most technologically advanced nation on the planet. Also, as Wakanda’s rise to prominence happens, it will affect the MCU moving forward which is really exciting.”
“Africa is such a huge nation,” Cole said. “There are so many countries, each of them with different histories, mythologies, and cultures but what we tried to do was hone in on some of the history, some of the cultural influences and then extrapolate out in our technology, extrapolate out in how we see Wakanda and the different parts of the country and the culture of the country as well.
"So we wanted to root it in reality first and then build out from there, so we’d feel pretty authentic and grounded.”
The film opens February 16, 2018.
