‘Black Panther’ director gets involved with the character’s intro in ‘Civil War’

In the expansive Marvel Cinematic Universe, it’s expected that movies and their characters come out as cohesively as possible, no matter who is headlining the film. So when Ryan Coogler, director of last year’s hit Creed, was taken onboard to direct the upcoming Black Panther film, they wanted Coogler to make some suggestions for the characters introduction in Captain America: Civil War.

According to Kevin Feige, Marvel Studios president and Civil War producer, they had Coogler come in to watch the film. “We did a little bit of additional photography here and there and Ryan did a pass at a couple of those scenes. So there’s a line or two that Panther says in the movie that Ryan contributed to. [Civil War screenwriters] Chris [Markus] and Steve [McFeely] absorbed it into their draft, put their spin on it and words to it, but Ryan has started to be involved in earlier cuts of this movie.” Coogler’s Black Panther, which stars Chadwick Boseman, will hit theaters in February 16, 2018.

Lines get divided further in new 'Civil War' trailer

With Batman v. Superman done, Captain America: Civil War is ramping up promotions. The latest trailer shows Steve Rogers a.k.a. Captain America and Tony Stark a.k.a. Iron Man fighting for their sides. With Cap thinking that the "safest hands are still our own" and Iron Man doing "what has to be done to stop something worse." And someone seems to be playing both sides, if this new trailer is any indication. What do you think?

Captain America: Civil War Superbowl spot reveals more about the upcoming film

The new Captain America: Civil War TV spot just aired during the Superbowl and it does help build tension and anticipation for the third installment of the Captain America franchise. The thing about Civil War is that it looks to be as epic and packed with heroes as The Avengers: Age of Ultron. The Civil War storyline is about the superhuman registration act and a schism between the Avengers and other superhumans taking sides.

 Aside from Iron Man and Cap, we have Hawkeye, Falcon, Black Widow, Scarlet Witch, Vision, Winter Soldier reprising their roles while getting an assist from Ant-Man as well as Black Panther. No hints of the teenage Spiderman in this teaser which definitely shows that Marvel still has the mojo to go toe to toe with DC at the box office. The film comes April 29.
