Black Panther is undeniably one of Civil War's big successes, introduced shortly before his father, King T'Chaka, is killed in Vienna where the United Nations were set to ratify the Sokovia Accords.

From that moment, he swears vengeance on Bucky (who is framed for the U.N. bombing), vowing to kill him and suiting up in the Black Panther costume to give chase. Just as Cap and Falcon hunt down Bucky and aim to prevent him from getting killed by a hit squad, Panther joins the fight, resulting in an absolutely insane foot chase, with Bucky, Panther and Cap all running at ridiculous full-speed, vaulting over cars and basically just being awesome superhumans.

Falcon then gets entangled with Panther, leading to everyone crashing into a heap, at which point War Machine arrives on the scene and Bucky, Cap, Falcon and Panther are taken into custody.

If so many action sequences in the MCU just feel like they exist to sell some toys or cut a cool-looking trailer, here's something that's personal and powerfully motivated: Chadwick Boseman does an excellent job selling the scarcely-contained anger, and it's got us very excited for his 2018 standalone movie.
