Seoul Feb 5 (IANS) Film director Ryan Coogler says the world of superheroes Captain America and Black Panther is closely related.
In 2016 the Marvel Cinematic Universe welcomed T Challa/Black Panther and introduced him to the world through "Captain America: Civil War". He will soon be seen in his solo film "Black Panther".
Coogler found that Black Panther s appearance in "Captain America: Civil War" was "a great jumping off point".
"I would say that Cap s universe and Black Panther s universe are closely related. Some writers in the past hinted at that more than others " Coogler said in a statement.
"But you have the vibranium connection and you have the super soldier connection. Captain America tends to be a character who s easily defined. For Cap it is black and white; there s right and there s wrong. He s a soldier. Whereas Black Panther exists in the gray area. In addition to being a soldier he has a more important job which is a politician. He s this monarch whose world is extremely complicated.
"He s constantly making these choices in the fog of politics and in the fog of war."
Set shortly after "Captain America: Civil War" "Black Panther" will see T Challa returning home to the isolated technologically-advanced African nation of Wakanda to become king. The Marvel Studios project is slated to release on February 16 in India.
