‘Black Panther’ Coming To Theatres 2014?

So, there’s big news coming at this years Comic-Con regarding their next standalone movie. News site Latino Review is apparently reporting this news early:

“THE BLACK PANTHER is going to headline his own film! How do I know? Let’s say I got it from FOUR different trusted sources. Last year, it was reported that Marvel hired Mark Bailey to pen the script and I hear the script is fantastic.”

For those unfamiliar with the character:

The title “Black Panther” is a rank of office, chieftain of the Wakandan Panther Clan. As chieftain, the Panther is entitled to eat a special heart-shaped herb, as well as his mystical connection with the Wakandan Panther god, that grants him superhumanly acute senses and increases his strength, speed, stamina, and agility to the peak of human development. He has since lost this connection and forged a new one with another unknown Panther deity, granting him augmented physical attributes as well as a resistance to magic.

His senses are so powerful that he can pick up a prey’s scent and memorize tens of thousands of individual ones. T’Challa is a rigorously trained gymnast and acrobat, showing mastery in various African martial arts as well as contemporary ones and fighting styles that belong to no known disciplines.

Lation Review does have a history of being reliable with their scoops. And earlier today one of their staff tweeted BIG CLUE: This unseen Marvel character has been alluded to in the phase one Marvel films! Let speculation begin!”

The Black Panther would definitely make sense as far as this statement being that we have vibranium (Cap’s shield) and the map from ‘Iron Man 2’ which had a marking above Wakanda.

Many actors have already expressed interest in the role including including Michael Jai White, Djimon Hounsou & Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje.

Whats your thoughts on ‘The Black Panther’ coming to the big screen? Personally I was hoping it to be ‘Iron Fist’ or ‘Ant-man’ (though we still COULD get those) Fingers crossed!
