In Captain America: Civil War (recensie) maakt niemand minder dan de Black Panther zijn debuut op het witte doek, en als je met de comics bekend bent, dan weet je ook hoe belangrijk zijn karakter en zijn land in het Marvel Universum is. Nu zal dit karakter op 14 februari zijn eigen film krijgen en daarom had de website Collider een interview met Chadwick Boseman die de hoofdrol speelt en een klein stukje daar van kan je nu hier onder lezen.

So does T'Challa feel more like a king or more like Black Panther?

Chadwick Boseman: At the beginning of this movie? I think neither. Neither. He's been Black Panther before, but I would say at the beginning of this movie he's dealing with - it's shortly after Civil War has ended so he's still mourning. There's unrest in Wakanda. So what he's dealing with his being the king, making the transition to filling the footsteps of his father. So it's probably going to feel like it's more about the political unrest than the superhero, initially.

Is approaching this role different than working on Captain America: Civil War? I'm curious if there is a deeper understanding that you're getting out of the character versus when you were first preparing originally?

Boseman: I mean yeah, obviously. Not to say that there wasn't a deep understanding, but some of the things that we came to an understanding of, we couldn't show in the last one, so it gives it a chance to marinate. And those certain things that we were unsure about, now we're 100 percent sure about, even down to accent and how you walk or what his sense of humor is, which actually develops more in this movie because in the last movie, he was pretty focused on what he had to do, so there was no time to make any jokes. [laughs] But in this one, you're sort of seeing him around in his more natural environment and around people that he knows, so you are different according to the people you are around.
