In some rather big news, Marvel has sealed the deal for Selma director, Ava Duvernay to direct Black Panther,  starring Chadwick Boseman as the title character.  Ava Duvernay has stated she doesn’t know much about T’Challa and his native land of Wakanda, but she really doesn’t have to be and she can pick up anything she needs through simple research.  The script was being written by documentary filmmaker Mark Bailey had been hired to pen a draft of the script a few years ago, and Marvel is still trying to lock down a screenwriter for the newest version from his script to no doubt polish things up and make them connect within their universe.

I haven’t had the chance to see Selma, but the few clips I’ve seen did look pretty amazing and did put the film high up on my watch list.  Another reason I’m stoked for this…
