‘Creed’s Ryan Coogler Is Officially Directing ‘Black Panther’!

Briefly: Finally.

After months and months of rumours, and our first official look at the character back in the Captain America: Civil War trailer, Marvel has finally, officially revealed who will be taking the reins on the anticipated Black Panther film.

After Creed blew absolutely everyone away earlier this year (his debut feature, Fruitvale Station is quite exceptional as well), Ryan Coogler has officially been tapped to direct the picture.

Marvel’s Kevin Feige notes that “We are fortunate to have such an esteemed filmmaker join the Marvel family. The talents Ryan showcased in his first two films easily made him our top choice to direct ‘Black Panther.’  Many fans have waited a long time to see Black Panther in his own film, and with Ryan we know we’ve found the perfect director to bring T’Challa’s story to life.”

So, what do you think of the choice? Excited, right? Yeah, us too.
