[...] stepping into a third super-powered part as Black Panther is nothing really new for the 39-year-old actor. To play T'Challa, Black Panther's alter-ego and heir to the throne of the fictional African nation of Wakanda, the actor did more than read every Panther comic he could find. To me, this was an independent film, so it was a chance to play a character from the continent of Africa before doing Black Panther. Boseman first discovered the Black Panther comic books while a student at Howard University, and he wanted to play the character before any film project was announced. Civil War, T'Challa/Black Panther stands apart from the other Avengers as they argue over whether to accept government oversight. Marvel's first black superhero was introduced in comic books in 1966, but Captain America: Boseman is willing to share what he put into creating the character for the screen in "Civil War," from working with two dialect coaches on T'Challa's Wakandan accent to studying various martial arts for Panther's stealthy, catlike fighting style.
