Marvel’s first teaser trailer for Black Panther gives us our first look at the final Marvel film heading into Avengers: Infinity War. Chadwick Boseman reprises his role from Captain America: Civil War as the king and protector of Wakanda known as the Black Panther. Michael B. Jordan, Martin Freeman, Lupita Nyong’o, Danai Gurira, Daniel Kaluuya, Angela Bassett, Forest Whitaker, and Andy Serkis also star. Originally planned for the Fall 2017 slot now filled by Thor: Ragnarok, Black Panther opens in theaters in a far less prestigious February 2018 release date (notably the first Marvel Cinematic Universe film to be thrown into the dumping ground of films).
