10 Comic Con Announcements The Fanboys Would Love

3. Chadwick Boseman Cast As Black Panther

Black Panther We know for certain that a Black Panther movie is in some form of development right now, and is likely one of the 7 unnamed movies on Marvel's bill at the moment. Among the names being thrown around, it's Star Wars Episode VII's John Boyega and 42's Chadwick Boseman who appear to be the most likely candidates. In a recent interview to promote his new film Get on Up, Boseman spoke on the rumours, stating, €œI know nothing of it, I have no knowledge of this...It€™s not out of the question, but I have no direct knowledge of this.€ We certainly hope that Boseman's lying (which is a very distinct possibility given the secrecy of these casting choices), because he's proven himself a master mimic in both 42 and what we've see of Get on Up so far, and we'd be overjoyed if he shot into the A-list realm by getting a Marvel movie under his belt. Even if he gets the part, it's unlikely we'll hear about it this weekend, but we're crossing our fingers.
