Chadwick Boseman Talks BLACK PANTHER And Those Ernie Hudson/’T’Chaka’ Rumors

Talking at the world premiere of Avengers: Age of Ultron last night, Captain America: Civil War and Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman talks about the preparation he’s going through to transform into the King of Wakanda and addresses those Ernie Hudson rumours.


Marvel has trained Chadwick Boseman well as the actor was unwilling to even reveal whether or not he’s read the Captain America: Civil War script in an interview with MTV News last night (Scarlett Johansson was a little more forthcoming recently as you can see by clicking here). He did however tell the site that he’s exploring all sorts of aspects of “history and science” to get his take on Black Panther right both in that movie and his planned solo outing which has now been delayed until 2018. The actor also addresses those rumours about Ernie Hudson playing his father T’Chaka, so be sure to check out the view above for the interview in full.

RUMOUR: Ernie Hudson Up For King T’Chaka In BLACK PANTHER

Actor Ernie Hudson may be a contender for the role of King T’Chaka in Marvel’s upcoming “Black Panther” film. A report from Latino-Review’s Umberto Gonzales has the “Ghostbusters” alum researching the character in anticipation of possibly playing the father of the classic Marvel hero.

In the comics, King T’Chaka of Wakanda is the father of T’Challa, who goes on to become the Black Panther after him. Like his ancestors, T’Chaka kept Wakanda hidden from the world in order to protect the African nations’ cache of Vibranium. T’Chaka dies from the machinations of Ulysses Klaw, who discovers and covets Wakanda’s Vibranium store; his death pushes T’Challa to take on the legacy of his fathers to become the Black Panther.

Klaw, played by Andy Serkis, will appear in “Avengers: Age of Ultron” this May.

“Black Panther” is scheduled for a November 3, 2017 release.

The Avengers: Age of Ultron will be in theaters May 1, 2015; Ant-Man on July 17, 2015; Captain America: Civil War – May 6, 2016; Doctor Strange – November 4, 2016; Guardians of the Galaxy 2 – May 5, 2017; Spider-Man reboot – July 28, 2017; Thor: Ragnarok – November 3, 2017; The Avengers: Infinity War Part 1 – May 4, 2018; Black Panther – July 6, 2018; Captain Marvel – November 2, 2018; The Avengers: Infinity War Part 2 – May 3, 2019; Inhumans – July 12, 2019.
