Marvel has finally found a director to direct their upcoming Black Panther movie, which stars Chadwick Boseman. The news was officially announced last night by Marvel.
“We are fortunate to have such an esteemed filmmaker join the Marvel family,” said producer Kevin Feige. “The talents Ryan showcased in his first two films easily made him our top choice to direct ‘Black Panther.’ Many fans have waited a long time to see Black Panther in his own film, and with Ryan we know we’ve found the perfect director to bring T’Challa’s story to life.”
Ryan is known for directing award-winning feature film, “Fruitvale Station,” in 2013. Most recently he directed the critically-acclaimed “Creed,” which earned Sylvester Stallone a Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture. I think Marvel might of got it right with choosing Mr. Coogler to direct Black Panther. Black Panther officially hits theaters February 16, 2018.
