BLACK PANTHER: New T'Chaka Concept Art Puts The Hero's Father In T'Challa's Classic Comic Book Costume
A new wave of Black Panther concept art has surfaced today which shows King T'Chaka's Black Panther costume and these designs sport various features - like a cape - comic book fans will surely recognise!
Black Panther is now in theaters and it's breaking countless box office records. The movie feels like more than just Marvel's latest effort to expand its Cinematic Universe too because the cultural importance of the Ryan Coogler helmed release is massive and given the success it's found, it's clear that T'Challa is going to have a huge impact on the genre and could become the face of this world.
To celebrate the movie's release, we're taking a look at some amazing Black Panther concept art and this batch focuses on King T'Chaka as a youngster when he had the title of Wakanda's Black Panther.
As well as providing some surprisingly comic book accurate takes (including T'Challa's cloak from the source material) on the character, we get to see a more regal take on the character and some armoured designs similar to what Black Panther wore when he was protecting Hell's Kitchen in Daredevil's absence.
