"Black Panther is a hugely important Marvel character. Hugely important in the history of comics, and it felt like the best way to introduce him was within Captain America: Civil War," Marvell Studios president and producer Kevin Feige said.
"When there was an opportunity in the Civil War development process where we needed another character, he was the one and only person on the list. Introducing Black Panther was really exciting for us and sort of fortified our belief that he deserved his own standalone movie," said Nate Moore, executive producer on Black Panther.
"We've put together a cast and a crew among the best we've ever assembled led by director Ryan Coogler," Feige said.
"Panther, he king of exists in a grey area. In addition to be a soldier, he has an important job, which is a politician. He is constantly making these choices in the fog of politics and the fog of war," Black Panther director Ryan Coogler offered.
"We deal with royalty, we deal with royal families, but unlike our other films, it's right here on Earth, we get to explore different cultures and different aspects of our world," Feige said.
"For Black Panther and the world of Wakanda, it's finding those real life touchstones that we think gives the film an integrity, yet still making it something you've never seen before," Moore said.
