Marvel releases a new international poster for upcoming film "Black Panther," revealing new details about the African superhero.
The new poster shows Black Panther/T'Challa actor Chadwick Boseman in his sleek vibration-absorbing metal suit as seen in his action-filled car chase scene in Busan, South Korea.
According to Variety, the huge action scene in the coastal city involved about 150 cars and some 700 people. It will feature some of the notable landmarks in South Korea's second metropolitan city -- including Jagalchi Fish Market, Gwangalli beach, and the Gwangan Bridge.
First appearing in "Captain America: Civil War" in 2016, T'Challa will go back to his home country in this titular movie.
After the death of his father, the King of Wakanda, T'Challa returns to his secretive yet technologically advanced country to succeed the throne and take his rightful place as the king.
But taking the crown is never easy, and T'Challa will have to face many enemies, both inside and outside forces, in the process.
In an interview with Cnet earlier this month, Boseman described his role as a ruler with the great power of deciding who lives and who dies as "complicated." Still, it was a character that he enjoyed. "I love that he thinks about other people. He's not afraid to hear wise counsel," he said of T'Challa.
Director Ryan Coogler added that "Black Panther" will be a positive deviation from other Marvel films because of the hero's bigger sense of responsibility, pertaining to the whole load he inherited when his father died.
"He's inheriting it at a time when Wakanda is struggling what its identity might be and the people have different ideas of what they should do," Coogler shared during Vulture Fest in LA.
Also starring Michael B. Jordan, Danai Gurira, Lupita Nyong'o, Letitia Wright, Martin Freeman, Andy Serkis, Angela Bassett, and Forest Whitaker, "Black Panther" hits cinemas on Feb. 16, 2018.
