EW: Black Panther first look (meow!)

Holy shit at that fucking Forest Whitaker.

As everyone's been saying the costume design is so fucking good in this movie. Between forest and the bodyguards... damn...
 
This movie is going to be great, probably the best MCU movie.
But I can't help but be saddened whenever I see pics of Lupita Nyong'o and Michael B. Jordan. These two deserve their own superhero franchises. Such a shame, Hollywood is wasting their talent.

Vixen and Black Manta, that's who they should be.
 
As an almost complete ignorant of everything Black Panther (or comics in general, really), is there a reason why MBJ's costume looks so "normal", especially compared to the others?

In the comics, Killmonger is Wakandan, but his parents were exiled before he was born (or maybe when he was a baby?), so he was raised in the US and has a grudge against T'Challa.
 
Every time I see MBJ's hair I think of

This might have the best costume design of all of the Marvel films, perhaps even the superhero genre as a whole. It's so vibrant and amazing.

Still don't feel the v2 Panther helmet, though.
 
I forgot how big the CW costume is compared to actor's head when not drawn over. Makes sense to go with the Spider-Man 1/Man of Steel style suit change, just for practical reasons.
 
This movie is gonna be godtier. Priest's run on BP is one of my most favorites since I recently got back into reading comics. I'm really having a hard time waiting for this.
 
The enemy Killmonger has aligned with is Andy Serkis’ Ulysses Klaue, the Vibranium poacher last seen having his arm sliced off in Avengers: Age of Ultron. He has replaced the appendage with a piece of sonic mining equipment stolen from Wakanda, but the real danger is what he could tell the outside world about the nation’s secrets.

Cool.

What they're explaining of the story is more or less exactly what I would've wanted from a Black Panther movie.
 
This is going to be fucking amazing I can just feel it. If we can get a one two punch with Ragnarok and this I can die a happy man.
 
Hot damn, the costuming is on fire. These pics might be hyping me up more than the trailer did. Argh, this wait just gets more painful everytime they show something.
