The king of Wakanda has a big role to play.
Black Panther will be one of the last superheroes in the new wave of characters to get his own stand-alone film, but Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige says he’s incredibly “important” to the future of the Cinematic Universe.
In an interview with Empire Magazine, Feige said that the main reason they decided to bring the story of Black Panther forward was because of how influential his character would be on the upcoming Avengers films, Infinity War — Part 1 and Infinity War — Part 2.
The executive also added that Black Panther would be the first Marvel film to feature a majority black cast.
