Will Chadwick Boseman End Up Playing BLACK PANTHER
Our friends at Latino-Review are reporting another big Marvel casting rumor today saying that 42 star Chadwick Boseman is the studio's top choice to play Black Panther.
The choice makes sense for Marvel as Kevin Feige is known for going after up-and-coming actors and turning them into big stars. Chris Hemsworth is a perfect example of this. Getting actors at this stage in the game also allows Marvel to sign them up for multiple films on the cheap.
Boseman was fantastic in 42. He's a solid actor, and if he ends up landing the role of Black Panther, I think he'd be perfect for it. There's been no confirmation of the news. There's no deal set in place. He's just at the top of the studio's very short list.
We've been hearing for awhile that Marvel was looking to make a Black Panther movie. If this is true, then they must be gearing up to finally give us the movie! It probably won't happen until Phase 3 of Marvel's cinematic plan, but ya never know! He might show up in The Avengers 2.
What do you all think about Boseman possibly playing Black Panther?
