Rumor Has It! Marvel to Unleash BLACK PANTHER On the Big Screen In 2014


We’re all waiting impatiently to see what new superhero movie Marvel Studios is going to release post-Avengers. Sure, we already know that Iron Man 3, Thor 2, and Captain America 2 are on their way, and characters like Ant-Man, Iron Fist, Black Panther and Doctor Strange have either been confirmed or rumored to be in the studios’ pipeline, but which hero will make it to the big-screen first?

Back in January, when we brought you the news when Marvel Studios hired screenwriter Mark Bailey to pen the big-screen adaptation of the comic book series Black Panther, we thought that would be the last we heard on the project for quite awhile. Now, the folks over at Latino-Review are reporting that several trusted sources of theirs have confirmed that Black Panther will be the film that occupies the previously Untitled Marvel Movie #1 slot, slated for a May 16th, 2014 release date.

We’re going to classify this as a rumor for now, but the source is usually spot-on with their Marvel movie scoops, so I would believe it’s likely true.

No Production or release dates have officially been set for Black Panther.
