Speaking on Live with Kelly and Michael, Boseman explained:
"It was some weird sign, sort of, that it was going to happenI got in a conversation with the security on set for this movie called Gods of Egypt in Australia, and we didn't really even talk about Black Panther at all, but he had them put the first issue of Black Panther - his original issue from when he was a kid - in my trailer and wrote a note that said, 'you're going to get this role'."

"The announcement about cross-play?" he told GI.biz, "F**kin' yeah. Cross-play with other networks? That's not the Microsoft of ten years ago. No way. And Sony is very fast coming back and saying, 'Yes, yes, with us it's okay.' And that's great."
Opinion: Marvel’s Civil War Shouldn’t Have Ended
The original Civil War storyline might just have the best hook ever devised for a Marvel crossover. Beneath all the punching and the spectacle, Civil War was about a very simple and fundamental question - should superheroes be held accountable for their actions? Is it right to insist that they reveal their identities to the government and submit to training and registration before heading into action, or does that violate the very ideas of personal responsibility and freedom that they stand for? We saw that conflict play out over the course of seven issues and dozens of tie-in comics, and now moviegoers are seeing a similar conflict unfold on the big screen.
But a decade later, the dust has long since settled from Civil War. And even though Marvel's heroes will soon be at each other's throats once again in Civil War II, the sequel is focusing on a completely different conflict. It's always struck me as odd that the idea of superhuman registration was quietly forgotten in the Marvel Universe. Civil War is not a conflict that ever should have truly ended.

Here are our top 10 favourites…
Moment: Sharing Platter Splatter
It’s always gross when couples get all cutesy with their food in public, but it’s even more spewier when that couple is mummy and daddy Tyrannosaurus Rex and their dinner is Eddie, the guy trying to save our heroes as they dangle helplessly from the cliff’s edge. The enraged T-Rex tears poor Eddie out of his SUV, playfully flip him around in the air before each dino grabs an end in its huuuuge teeth and tugs hard, bloodily bisecting him. PDA guys, come on!
