At this point the only thing that could ruin the momentum of Marvel's Black Panther is if Ryan Coogler is replaced by Tyler Perry in an Edgar Wright/Ant-Man-level debacle. Because right now it looks like the black superhero movie to end all black superhero movies, except we want this to be the first of many awesome black superhero movies, not the actual end of anything. And now the cast just got better with the addition of Emmy winner Sterling K. Brown.
Brown, the breakout star of both The People vs. O.J. Simpson and This is Us, joins the "holy shit" cast of Chadwick Boseman as the Wakandan hero-king, plus Michael B. Jordan, Angela Bassett, Forest Whitaker, Danai Gurira, Lupita Nyong'o, Daniel Kaluuya, Winston Duke, Florence Kasumba, and Letitia Wright. He'll play N'Jobu, a figure from T'Challa's past.
I'm trying to think of ways this can get better. Maybe put the RZA on soundtrack? Black Panther opens February 16th 2018.
