'Black Panther' News & Updates: Casting Details Reveal Movie Plot; Possible Crossover With 'Captain America'

Following the narrative of "Captain America: Civil War", a new character from the Marvel universe makes his solo film appearance. "Black Panther" returns as the African monarch of the 'vibranium-rich' kingdom of Wakanda.

The latest development of the upcoming film discusses the sheer number of required staff to fill their enormous casting requirement. The movie producer needed men, women, and children of various non-white ethnic groups to account an entire virtual population of Wakandans.

But that is not all! According to the report circulated by Comic Book Movie, the casting director needed Asian stunt actors who have a functional background in handling real weaponry - particularly of Korean and Filipino descent. It is revealed that these key acting staff will play the role of CIA agents hunting the fugitive Prince T'Challa.

For now, two possibilities are being speculated. Either the "Black Panther" will prowl the concrete jungles of America, or the main theater of mass violence is set in his beloved homeland.

Prince T'Challa's involvement in aiding "Captain America and the Winter Soldier" also contributes to the theoretical storyline. In an article published by Movie Web, there is a strong possibility that Wakanda is chosen as the hiding place of the fugitives Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes.

It stands to good reason that Chadwick Bosema (Black Panther/Prince T'Challa) and Chris Evans (Captain America) are going to reunite in this film, along with several other famous actors reprising key characters in the Avengers universe.

For once, the patriotic American super soldier would take a back seat and let the African king man the 'action helm' by the time this film is released. Unfortunately, there are no official statements discussing the release date.  

The other famous actors slated in this movie are veteran actor Forest Whitaker of "Star Wars: Rogue One" and contemporary star Michael B. Jordan of "Creed." The production of "Black Panther" starts in January 2017.
