The "Black Panther" movie premieres next year, and while only one trailer has been released, fans are still hyped up for the movie's release. Some people got to attend a screening of some footage from the movie and the action scenes are getting a lot of praise.

T'Challa a.k.a. the Black Panther, played by Chadwick Boseman, was first introduced in "Captain America: Civil War," and then went on to have his own film which premieres next year just before "Avengers: Infinity War." Despite going up against what seems to be one of the biggest productions in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to date, it is still one of the most anticipated comic book films that will be coming out.

Jason Johnson of The Root, who was among those who got to see some early footage, raved about the action scenes. He described it as a mix of the fight scenes from "Creed," which is also directed by Ryan Coogler and starred Michael B, Jordan, as well as "Kingsman." With the combination of the two movies in mind, it is enough to get fans a lot more excited.

Apart from those who got to see the movie before everyone else, companies in charge of making the official action figures were also in the know. The first set of "Black Panther" figures have been unveiled and one of which has given everyone a sneak peek at what could be the black and gold costume of Michael B. Jordan's Erik Killmonger.

It was previously said that Killmonger will be sporting a golden version of the Black Panther suit to go up against T'Challa, and the figure for the character provides a better look at what kind of suit he will be wearing in the movie. It is the traditional Black Panther suit, but it has a golden Vibranium weave which is similar to the main character's costume in the comics.

T'Challa himself will also be getting a new suit as well, but it will be blue. The change in his costume was already seen in the teaser trailer, so the figure provides a better look at his new outfit.

"Black Panther" will premiere on Feb 16, 2018.
