Marvel has released a new international trailer for “Black Panther,” in which we get cool new footage from the upcoming film, as well as glimpses at our favorite Avengers.
“I’ve seen Gods fly. I’ve seen men build weapons that I couldn’t even imagine,” Martin Freeman’s Everett K. Ross tells Chadwick Boseman’s T’Challa. “I’ve seen aliens drop from the sky. But I have never seen anything like this. How much more are you hiding?”
In the new trailer, T’Challa gets fitted with a new suit and is ready to take on the world in order to protect his nation, Wakanda. We also get new dialogue from Shuri (played by Leticia Wright) and a lot more footage of Michael B. Jordan’s Erik Killmonger.
In “Black Panther, T’Challa returns to Wakanda after the death of his father, the king. When a powerful old enemy reappears in the form of Erik Killmonger, T’Challa’s mettle as king — and Black Panther — is tested when he is drawn into a formidable conflict that puts the fate of Wakanda and the entire world at risk.
Faced with treachery and danger, the young king must rally his allies and release the full power of Black Panther to defeat his foes and secure the safety of his people and their way of life.
In addition to Boseman, Jordan and Freeman, “Black Panther” stars Lupita Nyong’o, Danai Gurira, Daniel Kaluuya, Winston Duke, Angela Bassett, Forest Whitaker and Andy Serkis.
The film is directed by Ryan Coogler and produced by Kevin Feige with Louis D’Esposito, Victoria Alonso, Nate Moore, Jeffrey Chernov and Stan Lee serving as executive producers. Ryan Coogler & Joe Robert Cole wrote the screenplay.
“Black Panther” will hit theaters on Feb. 16, 2018.
