During Marvel’s huge press event today at the El Capitan Theatre, the studio finally confirmed that a Black Panther movie was forthcoming. That news would have been good enough, but the studio decided to up the ante by confirming that Chadwick Boseman has been cast in the role, and that he would make his first appearance in Captain America: Civil War. Boseman even appeared briefly onstage along with Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans to hype his role in the film.
Captain America: Civil War hits theaters on May 6, 2016, with Black Panther to follow on November 3, 2017.
