'A War Is Coming': Marvel's Black Panther Continues To Tease Fans With New Trailer
As if Marvel's Black Panther didn't already have fans on the edge of their seats, everyone will be falling off after the new teaser that was released on Monday night.
During the 2018 College Football Championship Game on ESPN, fans were treated to a sneak peek of Black Panther, which hits theatres on Feb. 16.
The 90-second trailer featured as much action as Alabama's overtime win and even included music from rapper Kendrick Lamar, which was the perfect segue as the Grammy Award winner also headlined the half-time show.
As previously reported, Lamar will produce the soundtrack for Black Panther and will also be featured on the album along with his label mate SZA. The duo collaborated on a song titled, "All the Stars," which is currently available on iTunes. However, the actual Black Panther soundtrack will be available for preorder on iTunes on Feb. 9.
Will Black Panther Dominate 2018?
In the new Black Panther trailer or more like teaser, Erik "Killmonger" Stevens, which is played by Michael B. Jordan, is a Wakandan exile turned black-ops soldier and is set on overthrowing T'Challa's reign, which is played by Chadwick Boseman.
"I want your weapons, your secrets," Kilmonger says in the trailer. "It's all mine now," Killmonger continued.
The Marvel film focuses on T'Challa, who returns home after the death of his father, the King of Wakanda, to succeed to the throne and take his place as king. When a powerful old enemy reappears, T'Challa's strength as King and Black Panther is tested when he is drawn into conflict that puts the fate of Wakanda at risk.
The film is directed by Ryan Coogler and also stars Angela Bassett, Michael B. Jordan, Forest Whitaker, Letitia Wright, Lupita Nyong'o, Daniel Kaluuya, Martin Freeman, Danai Gurira, and Andy Serkis.
In December 2017, early predictions for Black Panther had it earning $90 million in the United States and Canada in its opening weekend and almost $300 million for its total. Fandango also confirmed that the film was the second most anticipated film in 2018 behind Avengers: Infinity War, which is set to release on May 4.
