At the New York Comic-Con this weekend, it was announced that Marvel Animation is teaming up with the LEGO Group for a movie starring Black Panther. Marvel's VP of Animation Cort Lane made the news official when he revealed that the title will be Black Panther: Trouble in Wakanda but no further details were revealed. However, chances are it will head straight to DVD/Blu-ray as opposed to theaters.
That means it probably won't quite be up there with The LEGO Batman Movie and will be more along the lines of past animated projects like LEGO Marvel Super Heroes: Maximum Overload. Those always come bundled with a LEGO minifigure and that should make this a must-have for toy collectors.
It's understandable that Marvel would put T'Challa under the spotlight like this, especially as he'll be starring in a live-action movie in February. While no release date has been announced, this is a smart way of cashing in on that and familiarising younger viewers with the world of Wakanda. Are you excited for this animated feature? As always, let us know your thoughts in the comments section down below.
