Some of us have been waiting decades for a Black Panther movie. Rumors swirled about the possibility way back in the 1990s, but now, finally, this is really happening. Black Panther comes out in theaters on February 16, 2018, and the first teaser trailer is here.
In some respects this may seem like a typical trailer, with the tease of adventure and lots and lots of butt-kicking. But this is a Marvel Studios movies like we’ve never seen before, expanding to new parts of the world, with entirely different aesthetics. There is imagery in this short trailer that you have never seen in a superhero movie before, and that’s absolutely thrilling.
But don’t take our word for it. Watch the trailer below and see what wonders Black Panther has to show you!

From the Press Release:
Marvel Studios’ “Black Panther” follows T’Challa who, after the death of his father, the King of Wakanda, returns home to the isolated, technologically advanced African nation to succeed to the throne and take his rightful place as king.
