We've long heard that there is a possibility Marvel might be working on a film that is based on Black Panther. Now, with the official release of the Avengers: Age of Ultron trailer, it would be safe to say that the character lives within the universe, and is just waiting to be revealed.
A few scenes within the trailer gave us the idea that some parts of the film might take place in Wakanda, a nation in Africa where Black Panther is the leader. He is also known as T'Challa, and he is one of Marvel's well-known costumed fighters.
One of Black Panther's biggest enemies, Ulysses Klaw, appeared in the Avengers: Age of Ultron trailer, and we're thinking that if he's there, then it means the Panther himself is within the universe, and we can't wait to see him.
Another clue is the beginning of the trailer where the scenery shows what appears to be the city of Johannesburg in South Africa. We've long known that parts of the film were shot in South Africa, but we cannot say for sure what happened there.
Furthermore, the next big clue to Black Panther's existence is Captain America's broken shield. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the Captain's shield was created from a rare material called Vibranium, and Wakanda is the only place on earth to get this material in enough quantity to create a shield.
We think Captain America might very well take a trip to Wakanda to get his shield repaired for future battles, and that is where he could come across T'Challa, leader of the people of Wakanda.
Right now everything we're saying here is nothing but speculation. However, with the amount of evidence seen in the trailer pertaining to Black Panther's existence, we can't help but believe it is going to happen. Our excitement levels are above the clouds this very moment, and we can't wait to feast our eyes on Age of Ultron next year.
Hey, we have to point out that it appears as if in the first half of Avengers: Age of Ultron, Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch could be working for Ultron, as they are seen together.
Avengers: Age of Ultron will be released on May 1, 2015.
