After more than 50 years of Marvel “Black Panther” comic books, the Wakandan warrior king will finally receive his own film. Complete with a stellar cast, including Michael B. Jordan, Lupita Nyong’o and Danai Gurira, “Black Panther” is being directed by Ryan Coogler, known for “Fruitvale Station” and “Creed.” The film is set to release in February 2018 as part of the end of phase three of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with a teaser premiering during Game 4 of the NBA finals on Friday night.
