Ryan Cooglers kritikerhyllade Creed gjorde det möjligt för honom att kunna hoppa på som regissör för den kommande "stand alone"-filmen baserad på Marvel-kaaktären Black Panther. I en intervju med filmsidan Fast Company har Ryan pratat lite om hur den första filmen om den svarta katten är hans "drömprojekt" om om hur han tänker tackla uppgiften när det gäller omfång och djup.
"It's a specific challenge. What Marvel's doing, and what you see a lot of studios doing now that Marvel has done it so successfully, is making content that exists in a particular universe, where the characters tie in and crossover, and I think that's a great creative challenge to me, to make this movie as personal as possible. It's going to be my most personal movie to date, which is crazy to say, but it's completely the case.
I'm obsessed with this character and this story right now, and I think it's going to be very unique and still fit into the overall narrative that they're establishing. I grew up as a comic book fan, and the same things used to happen in the comic books. You'd have Wolverine's books, and they'd be so much darker and more brutal than the X-Men books, but they'd still fit in when you open the pages of the X-Men book. It's new to movies, but it's not new to storytelling."
