The Phase 3
of Marvel's Cinematic Universe is set to start next year, and leading the next
phase is Anthony and Joe Russo's follow up to the Captain America: Winter
Soldier storyline. Their upcoming film Captain America: Civil War will put
Steven Rogers/Captain America (Chris Evans) and Tony Stark/Iron Man (Robert
Downey Jr.) on the opposite sides of the law. But despite the much awaited
face-off between the two heroes, fans are also eager to see the introduction of
Tom Holland as Peter Parker/Spider-Man and Chadwick Boseman as T’Challa/Black
Panther in the MCU.
While on the Berlin, Germanyfilming location, we finally get to see Black Panther in action wearing his own
costume. Chadwick Boseman was previously seen on set, but these photos by Comic
Book Movie (link to marks the first appearance of the Black Panther costume. In
the photos posted, we see Black Panther in the filming location (played by a
stunt double) together with a stunt double for the Winter Soldier.
The photos themselves don't
provide more info about that particular scene. We don't know yet if they are
fighting or chasing each other at this moment. However, we have heard from
Kevin Feige that T’Challa will not be a part of the Civil War, but instead
going after Bucky for some reason. This might be the reason why we see Black
Panther and Winter Soldier together in this scene. In the images, it's also
revealed that Captain America is on their tail, with a stunt double racing
along a ledge of a building.
Some fans might find the suit a
little unappealing for now, but it should be noted that this is just a photo
from the set and it will look far better during post-production. And from the
looks of it, the suit does fare quite a resemblance with the concept art
previously released by Marvel which was well received by a lot of fans.
Black Panther
is the king of the fictional country of Wakanda, which was recently mentioned
in Avengers: Age of Ultron as the home of vibranium. That metal was featured
heavily when Ultron used it to form the Vision's body. Knowing that Black
Panther comes from Wakanda, it wouldn't be much of a stretch to say that
vibranium will be a part of his suit. Whether it's a vibranium armor to protect
him from bullets or vibranium claws that can cut through anything, the highly
valuable metal is sure to play a role in the film.
With all this characters in play
during the film, some are wondering how the Russo brothers will handle the
load. But knowing their track record with superhero films, expect this one to
be full of action and thrilling one-on-one combat. The only thing to wonder
about right now is the story and how all these characters will come together.
We'll just have to wait and see next year when Captain America: Civil War opens
to theaters on May 6th, 2016.
