Black Panther movie?

Looks like we might finally be getting an on-screen Marvel superhero who isn't a white dude (Samuel L. Jackson doesn't really count as a superhero), as Heat Vision is reporting that the studio has hired a writer to get to work on a Black Panther screenplay. That writer: Mark Bailey, whose career up to now has consisted of writing/story-editing documentaries and adapting a non-fiction book for Doug Liman, so I guess they're going for real with this one. Writer of Pandemic: Facing AIDS real.

In the comics, the character--commonly regarded as the first mainstream black superhero--is king of the fictional African nation of Wakanda and, thus, possesses near-superhuman strength thanks to a powerful heart-shaped herb that's passed down to all of his fake country's chieftains. He's also a physicist, naturally.

This won't be the first attempt at bringing the icon to screens. In the early '90s, Columbia was attempting to develop Black Panther into a vehicle for Wesley Snipes, and his name continued to be attached as Artisan Entertainment, too, unsuccessfully tried to work out a panther costume that wouldn't look too ridiculous. Snipes won't be participating in this attempt, though, because now we know Wesley Snipes is actually supposed to be Blade. And also, Wesley Snipes is in prison.

    • I used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.
    • Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.
    • Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
