The Black Panther Premiere: Chadwick Boseman, more hit the Royal Purple Carpet
Published on Jan 31, 2018
Marvel Studios presents Black Panther, the story of T’Challa, a young African prince who takes on the mantle of King and Superhero, and the centuries-old legacy that comes with it.
Long known for its revolutionary creative vision, Marvel Comics has introduced its audiences to a diverse roster of Super Heroes since 1939, most notably with the groundbreaking Black Panther character that made its first appearance in “Fantastic Four Vol. 1” Issue 52, published in 1966.
Stan Lee and Jack Kirby’s Black Panther was soon firmly established as a fan favorite, crossing racial and cultural lines. The imagery of a regal African King and his Super Hero alter ego continued to resonate with fans over the years, resulting in multiple new Black Panther publications most recently from the likes of filmmaker Reginald Hudlin and author/journalist Ta-Nehisi Coates.
In 2016, the Marvel Cinematic Universe welcomed T’Challa/Black Panther and introduced him to its massive fan base in Captain America: Civil War, the record-breaking hit film that pitted the Avengers against one another.
Marvel Studios president and Black Panther producer Kevin Feige says, “The diversity in the Marvel Cinematic Universe goes back to the Marvel comics. I’ve always said we’re just trying to emulate what the comics have been doing so well for so many decades and one of those things is representing society as it exists. When the Black Panther character debuted in the ‘60s it was a daring move for the Marvel bullpen of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby to introduce this new character, an African character who is smarter than many of our other heroes and is stronger than most of our other heroes. To be able to put that on the big screen fifty years later is incredibly exciting for us.”
