"Black Panther (Animated Series)" News & Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

[Gemini chic]

I really want another actor to take this role. Lamaar, David, Harewood, and Kevin Michael Richardson are all the go-to black guys for animation. I want an unrecognizable actor.

Black Panther is a great Marvel character, but it sure is surprising to see him in animated series, who are going to be his villains? There can't be a super hero with no villains to fight.

You probably would ask: How is he great to me since I hardly know anything related to his characters? Answer: I knew him when he met zombie Luke Cage, and that he is Ororo's "Storm's" husband just so recently. I was longing to read his comics for a while but never found them in any comic shop in my country.

His enemies are Killmonger, Klaw, and there are just a bunch of crazies always trying to overthrow him or snatch his country's resources.

Interesting, very interesting. Like Spider-Man, I'm very much looking forward to seeing the character designs and how the animation looks.

Overall, it really looks like BET is trying to get into the animation game as they have a Dwayne McDuffie helmed animated series in the works as well. Should be interesting to see what happens with these animated series they are working on.

Ok, now I have a reason to watch BET. I like Black Panthor anyway.

[rewardsboy 93]

I think they have something to do with Vin Diesel's Hannibal project too

Seems like Marvel is really putting out the animated versions of comics characters these days. Though I've never cared for BET if I ever get cable again, I may check this out.

[sagebrush46]

You are correct. BET is looking to become a player in the animation field - who knew?

-Joe!

Seems like his rogues gallery is somewhat lacking.

Maybe he could borrow some villains or maybe the creators can create some new ones to fill the gap?

let's hope this lasts at least two seasons, enough to justify a Blade series
I think Carl Lumbley would fit because I've heard him voice an indigenous African as the Stalker in Batman Beyond. Or at least I thought he was a native of Africa. Was the Stalker born in Africa or was he a Westerner?
