Ryan Coogler, the director behind the highly-acclaimed Creed, is helming Marvel's Black Panther, and the biggest challenge in the film, according to him, is to make it "as personal as possible."
"It's going to be my most personal movie to date, which is crazy to say," Coogler told Fast Company, "but it's completely the case."
It's no secret that Coogler is "obsessed" with Black Panther, and how Marvel approached his story so far. Coogler's Black Panther movie is going to be "very unique," but "still fit in the narrative" marvel has already developed, he said.
"I grew up as a comic book fan, and the same things used to happen in the comic books," Coogler added. "You'd have Wolverine's books, and they'd be so much darker and more brutal than the X-Men books, but they'd still fit in when you open the pages of the X-Men book."
Chadwick Boseman made his debut as T'Challa in the Russo Brothers' Captain America: Civil War, and he will return in Coogler's Black Panther film that will also star Lupita Nyong'o and Michael B. Jordan. Black Panther will hit theaters on February 2, 2018.
