Black Panther Appreciation VII: "Return of the King"

So what could be announced this summer? Take your pick. Feige was non-committal, but did mention -- as we all know -- possibilities like "Doctor Strange," "Black Panther" and Edgar Wright's long-gestating take on "Ant-Man" which the exec called, "an outside-the-box, surprising-type story for us to do." While Feige did not mention by name "Power Man," "Iron Fist" or the "Power Pack" -- does that mean they're not ready development-wise? We'll leave that speculation to you -- but he did say "Black Panther," was something "they were playing with recently." Screenwriter Mark Bailey was hired to pen that script earlier this year

Interesting. I don't think BP will be the 2014 unannounced film at the SD comic con in July..but it's good to hear them playing with the script. Get him in Avengers 2!

Agreed...BP in Avengers 2 can b introducd as sum mysterious xcter constantly seen watching, observing & taking notes of d Avengers remaining completely speechless without & b4 approaching dem as was done in d A:EMH S1....leaving several of d audience wandering who dat is den BAM BP/Tchalla finally speaks in a post-credit scene.

Priest's whole run on BP is yet to be collected in its entirety, Liss's excellent run is collected and released under the radar (as if Marvel are ashamed to acknowledge Liss's bravura performance on the title.)

But get this, Jonathan Maberry's collected Doomwar TPB gets pushed and lauded as if it was the best thing since sliced bread.

Way to go Marvel.

Marvel does stupendous stuff like dis & still wander y readers & BP fans call dem suspect...bt hitting on Liss really gd run but Priest run is d definiteive collective of all dat mks BP kool, mesmerising & impressive.

Nothing really. It's really, really slow. AvX thus far he has been a non factor.

I guess that can be considered good. They could have him do something that would really piss us off.

Weird thought. BP doesnt really have a true arch nemesis. Admittedly, I have only read Priest's take on Killmonger, but I havent seen the villain that pulls out the best in BP. The villain who makes it more than personal. I dont see Klaw as an equal. At best, he is the no name burgular that shot Uncle Ben.

Agreed...but that's because they never developed more..Achebe..wasted....he has Kun'lun's Black Dragon...and also no evolution...for example...look at the Thunderbolt's Sultan Magnus...who's supposed to be Namor/Superman mesh...with his own nation...which has technology based on alien origins.

Ask yourself why this has not been done for T'challa,..he gets Hell's Kitchen goons.

Killmonger should be the one because he's matches up well against BP. Hudlin did a good take on Killmonger which sadly was never followed up as his children vowed revenge against BP. Also, they could have one of his children take up his mantle in sort of a twisted way that T'Challa took up his father's mantle. Have him become T'Challa's new arch-Villain Like what they did with Ezekial Stane over in Iron Man.

Really loved doing Avengers when I did - Black Panther in particular. #BreaksRedSkullsJaw Cool to see it explode like it is. :)

T'challa is being mentioned A LOT...pressure on Marvel.
