Marvel have taken over the cover and an inside feature in the new issue of Entertainment Weekly, and Chadwick Boseman features prominently as Black Panther. The character appears in Marvel’s first big movie of 2016, Captain America: Civil War.
A superb feature also accompanied the pic where Boseman painted a better picture of his character.
“He’s definitely not the life of the party in this instance,” Boseman tells the magazine. “I think this is something true of the comic book character and the movie. You never quite know where he stands. There’s always a bit of concealing and mystery. So I think mysterious is more his boat. Not to say there’s not charm and he can’t be a ladies’ man and all that. It’s more like if there is humor, it’s more like James Bond.”
“He’s someone who hasn’t necessarily made up his mind about either side and whose agenda isn’t exactly what Cap’s agenda or what Tony’s agenda is,” said executive producer Nate Moore. “And I think that brings him into conflict weirdly with both characters at different times in the film. He is the prince of an African nation that has so far stayed very much sort of in the shadows. And eventually the film will draw him and his father out of the shadows.”
Black Panther also featured on the front of the magazine alongside Robert Downey Jr’s Iron Man and Chris Evans’ Captain America. Check out the pics below.
Captain America: Civil War opens on May 26th, 2016.
