The prolific Hollywood actor, Andy Serkis, is already slated to play the baddie in the next "Black Panther" movie. Serkis is to reprise his role as Ulysses Klaue from "Avengers: Age of Ultron." However, this time he is on a personal vendetta against T'Challa, played by Chadwick Boseman.
In a report by Comic Book, the Marvel Cinematic Universe trailer released for "Black Panther" once again showed Serkis as Ulysses Klaue, whose hand had been cut off by Ultron in the "Avengers: Age of Ultron" movie. In an interview with IGN, Serkis described the motivation behind the acts of villainy which Klaue will commit in the upcoming film. Klaue losing his hand is one of the reasons why he has taken it upon himself go against T'Challa.
Additionally, Klaue is also resentful towards the nation of Wakanda for not sharing their resources and technological advancements to the rest of the world. Serkis stated that Klaue "also wants to expose what he thinks is the hypocrisy of Wakanda." On top of that, Klaue would also like to know more about the secrets of the fictional material called Vibranium.
However, as it can be inferred from the trailer, Klaue will not be the only adversary that the movie's protagonist will be facing. According to Epic Stream, despite the trailer showing T'Challa squaring off with different people, it is possible that Klaue will be the main bad guy in the upcoming movie.
The trailer also showed the mysterious fictional city of Wakanda, which appears to be a mystical but technologically advanced society unlike any of the world's most influential and industrialized cities. Despite Africa being perceived as a third world country, in the "Black Panther" story, it shows that it is not the case at all.
"Black Panther" is scheduled to be released in theaters on Feb. 16, 2018.
