'Black Panther' Rumors: The Avengers Will Visit The Hero In 'Age Of Ultron' Could Reveal Who Plays Starring Role [VIDEO]
It looks like Black Panther could get his first tease even before the casting or director is announced.
Fan-Made 'Black Panther' Trailer & Rumored Casting Front-Runners Hit The Web
During an interview with ScreenRant on Saturday, Thor star Chris Hemsworth talked about the villain Ultron in the upcoming Avengers sequel and what kind of metal the bad guy would have to make it more difficult for Thor to fight him.
"(Ultron has) really thick metal. He could be made of vibramian, vibrainian - is that what it's called?" [Screen Rant: "Vibranium"] "'VIBRANIUM,' That's it... Look, he's physically strong, this villain, but also highly intelligent," Hemsworth said.
Will Chadwick Boseman Be Cast in 'The Black Panther' Movie?
"He is artificial intelligence and has access to every piece of information that is and ever was, so he's able to manipulate all sorts of things - including the dynamic of the team - and split us up."
The key word though was vibranium. While the other notable metal in Marvel is Wolverine's adamantium, vibranium is one that pops up in one specific location - Wakanda, home of Black Panther.
Marvel could use their highly anticipated Age of Ultron to reveal who is playing the Black Panther, and maybe include a Nick Fury/Samuel L. Jackson-like cameo for the actor like Jackson did in the first Iron Man. Chadwick Boseman is free and has hinted at playing the role, so it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility for the star to show up briefly to give the Avengers some vibranium.
It would make for an awesome reveal if Marvel did decide to show who would be playing the role during the movie, but more than likely the heroes will visit Wakanda and just have a short tease of the country's leader.
Avengers: Age of Ultron hits theaters on May 1, 2015.
