Remember how hyped we were coming out of Captain America: Civil War about the Black Panther movie?

I mean, we had reason enough to be excited before, with Ryan Coogler directing (after absolutely knocking Creed out of the park).  But then we had Chadwick Boseman show the world how awesome his version of T’Challa was throughout Civil War.

Hype was high. And then we found out this week that Luptia Nyong’o would be in the cast too.

And then today’s news, courtesy of The Hollywood Reporter…

MICHAEL B. JORDAN IS JOINING THE CAST TOO!

Right now, we have no official word on his role, but after delivering an incredibly under-appreciated performance in Creed, having such a great track record with Coogler, and getting absolutely underserved by last Summer’s Fantastic Four, I am so excited to see what he does in this film.  Rumor is, he may be the lead villain.

EITHER WAY, THIS IS GOING TO BE GREAT.
