Cap 3: New Details on Black Panther’s MCU Debut
Black Panther will make his silver screen debut next year in Captain America: Civil War, and Chadwick Boseman has offered a few new details on his role as T’Challa ahead of its release.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Boseman discussed Civil War's central conflict and Black Panther's place in it, noting that while "ultimately some sides are taken," each of Marvel's mighty heroes "is actually on their own side."
