Black Panther Trailer Reactions: 7 Ups & 3 Downs

1. The Action Looks Incredible

Captain America: Civil War also established that Black Panther has a fighting style that is unique to his upbringing. The so-called Cat-Fu style immediately marked him out as a different threat to the other superheroes on show (just as Spider-Man's swing dynamic did for him), and focusing more tightly on the character was always going to mean we'd see even more of that.

From this teaser, it looks like Ryan Coogler is offering up an action-heavy feast that will not only show off more of T'Challa's fighting style, but will also feature set-pieces involving the highly skilled Dora Milaje, another Panther versus Car chase sequence and what appears to be a trial by combat between T'Challa and Erik Killmonger.

On top of that there' Klaue's heist, a stealthy jungle attack, M'Baku seemingly taking Everett Ross hostage, what appears to be Klaue's escape sequence and Killmonger going on a rampage, and you have to think that's just the start. It's going to be a hell of a thrill-ride.
