'Black Panther' Movie to Leap Back into the 1990s
Black Panther made his first mark in Captain America: Civil War, and his solo film is promising to be one of the most intriguing projects out of the MCU to date. Ryan Coogler is at the helm, and new reports have surfaced that indicate the film will flash back to T'Challa's early years while he attended school in America.
As Slash Film writes, "East Bay Times reports AC Transit, the public transit system serving the Alameda and Contra Costa counties of the San Francisco Bay Area, has approved the use of a 1990s-era logo for Marvel’s Black Panther. Although the film is being shot in Atlanta, Georgia, the logo will be seen painted on a vintage bus for an establishing shot."
The publication went into detail on the particular scene in which this will come into play. "In one scene, the film’s protagonist has a flashback to 1990, while he was a student at Saint Mary’s College High School in Berkeley. And of course, he’s a daily AC Transit commuter. Cue the 1990s-era bus for the appropriate establishing shot. (We’ll assume the bus is arriving on time. It is Hollywood, after all.)"
How his formative years will play into the present events will come to the fore, most likely only when the film comes out. Nevertheless, there's still some time before then. Black Panther opens February 16, 2018.
