Chadwick Boseman Reveals Details about Black Panther's Character in 'Captain America: Civil War'; Movie Debuts on May 6, 2016

Following the rumors in the last few months, the much awaited trailer release of "Captain America: Civil War" has finally happened. But unlike the conflict between Iron Man and Captain America, the presence of Black Panther has certainly left a significant mark.

Although he will not be playing the film's lead part, Chadwick Boseman is going to play an important role as the first black to play as a comic book superhero through the character of Black Panther.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Boseman talked about his character as someone who is not likely to be the center of a party and somewhat appears to be mysterious and secretive. He is not also very charming and very far from the character of James Bond, who is popular for being a ladies' man.

Black Panther is named T'Challa in real life and is known to be a prince in Wakanda, a fictional nation situated in Africa.  His place of origin will play a very significant part because it is what would give rise to his participation in the Civil War. Normally, Prince T'Challa would turn away from any trouble, however, the Sokovia Conflicts, which is being emphasized in the movies, had a huge impact to his beloved country Wakanda.

In addition, Boseman also revealed that his character is going to be divided between the plans of the new world to change things and tradition. This prince of Wakanda will definitely choose to keep the traditions of the entire nation, yet this may bring conflict between Bucky and himself which is yet to be discovered.

Initial photos of the superhero were shared by Entertainment Weekly which were also shown in the current issue of the magazine and can be found on their site.
