TheGame of Thronesfinally has a winner and–surprise!– it’s T’Challa, the King of Wakanda. The first teaser poster for Marvel’sBlack Panthermovie has arrived in all its regal glory.Chadwick Bosemansits upon the throne of Wakanda, which appears to be a much more comfortable seat than the Iron Throne. That makes sense considering that the fictional kingdom of Wakanda is perhaps the most technologically advanced civilization in history and has yet to be conquered by any invading force, terrestrial or otherwise.
But in the newly released synopsis that accompanies the poster, it’s clear that T’Challa’s main concerns are going to come from within his own country and among his trusted allies. We’ll get a taste of that conflict and how it’ll play out in directorRyan Coogler’s film when the first teaser trailer airs tonight during Game 4 of the NBA Finals. Of course, you can tune in here to see it once it’s made available.
