Nu har den hett efterlängtade Black Panther haft biopremiär världen över, och kammar hem finfina betyg både hos kritiker och av fans. Några av oss här på Gamereactor har hunnit se den, och intryck finns att läsa i bloggavdelningen, och fler kommer att leta sig till närmsta biosalong i helgen. Marvel-bossen Kevin Feige har i en intervju med Variety uttalat sig kring hela projektet, och ansvaret med att föra över karaktären till vita duken:
"I don't know. This is the 10-year anniversary of Marvel Studios, starting with "Iron Man." I'll speak starting in 2008. For us, we were building the Avengers. That took up the first five years. And as audiences continued to come, we got to tell more of these stories and we got to a point where we were developing 'Captain America: Civil War.' We had an opportunity to introduce a character that had no allegiance to either Iron Man or Captain America and that clearly was Black Panther, who has his own agenda, agency, country, and culture. And he found himself thrust into the world of the Avengers. That became, for us, lighting the wick on the beginning of bringing Panther to the world and casting Chadwick and soon after that, hiring Ryan Coogler. I'm very glad this movie wasn't made in 1992 because Ryan Coogler might not have been born.
We always knew we wanted to do it someday. We always knew it was the manifest destiny of Marvel Studios to bring to life all facets of the Marvel universe. At the end of 'Iron Man 2,' when Nick Fury is discussing for the first time the Avengers initiative with Tony Stark, he's brought him to this secret shield warehouse. One of the maps prominently displayed is a map of Africa with a little pinpoint to where Wakanda is. In 'Avengers: Age of Ultron,' we talked about Vibranium for the first time and Bruce Banner mispronounces Wakanda. We've been feeding it through the films, knowing if we had the opportunity to keep making films, Panther was high on the list. It was his inclusion in 'Civil War' that sped it up."
Har du sett Black Panther ännu? Och vad tyckte du?
Svart och svår med kattöron.
