Black Panther Writer Reveals Story Details & MCU Impact

Marvel Studios has started their Phase 3 initiative off on a strong foot, thanks to the mega-success of Captain America: Civil War. That film, covering a violent ideological schism between Captain America and Iron Man, led to many Marvel Cinematic Universe superheroes having to choose sides of the debate - while a few new MCU heroes like Spider-Man and Black Panther were thrown into the middle of the fray. 

Directing this big screen adventure is Creed's Ryan Coogler, who has made it clear that - from the subject matter to the tone - Black Panther will be a different sort of Marvel movie. As  with all MCU films, the details of Black Panther are being kept under wraps - but script writer Joe Robert Cole (The People vs. O.J. Simpson) was recently dropping a few details about what we can expect to see in the film, as well as where/when it takes place. 

In speaking with /Film, Cole revaled that Black Panther will pick up shortly after the events of Civil War: 

"Our standalone movie will begin shortly after Civil War ends. So we’ll be able to see him mourning and him starting to take command as king of his own nation. Lots of things are going to occur within regards to that. The country will be under threat from inside and out so we’ll learn what Wakanda is, that nation, as the most technologically advanced nation on the planet. Also, as Wakanda’s rise to prominence happens, it will affect the MCU moving forward which is really exciting.”
