Marvel Studios may be focusing on the marketing for Thor: Ragnarok now, but after that, they would start hype for the next movie in line, Black Panther. Thanks to Yahoo Movies, we get our first look at some figures for the movie, and it looks like villain Erik Killmonger will be his own panther suit.
Check him out:
The suit looks very similar to that of T'Challa's but you'll immediately notice that it's laces in gold, and Killmonger's suit also has a scary set of ‘teeth' on the mask. There are also several bumps on the suit reminiscent to that of the ‘crocodile scarring' that Killmonger has on his skin—a detail that was revealed months ago thanks to some movie stills.
For now, it looks like T'Challa will be getting a worthy adversary, but I'm also excited to see what Andy Serkis' Ulysses Klaue will look like in the film.
As it seems like Marvel Studios isn't trying to stop the reveal, maybe the next Black Panther trailer will give us our first look at the ‘Gold Panther' onscreen. I have to admit, I wold have much rather seen the movie version of Killmonger's suit first rather than the toy, but us fans will just have to take what we can get.
Here's the full synopsis for the movie:
Marvel Studios' Black Panther follows T'Challa who, after the death of his father, the King of Wakanda, returns home to the isolated, technologically advanced African nation to succeed to the throne and take his rightful place as king. But when a powerful old enemy reappears, T'Challa's mettle as king—and Black Panther—is tested when he is drawn into a formidable conflict that puts the fate of Wakanda and the entire world at risk. Faced with treachery and danger, the young king must rally his allies and release the full power of Black Panther to defeat his foes and secure the safety of his people and their way of life.
Black Panther hits theaters Feb. 16, 2018.
