Chadwick Boseman impressed audiences as T'Challa when he debuted his take on the character in Captain America: Civil War and looks to continue his exploration of the title role in Ryan Coogler's Black Panther ... but Michael B. Jordan is out to take down the Wakandan king. The superhero installment is currently filming alongside Joe and Anthony Russo's Avengers: Infinity War, and everyone is bringing their A-game. A new behind-the-scenes image from the Creed star's training for the Marvel movie reveals that he's more than ready for a clash between Boseman's superhero and Jordan's own supervillain, Erik Killmonger. We can't wait!

Black Panther also stars Sterling K. Brown as N’Jobu, a figure from T’Challa’s past; Lupita Nyong’o as the Wakandan warrior, Nakia; Angela Bassett as as T’Challa’s mother, Romonda; and Winston Duke as a key villain, M’Baku, a.k.a. “Man-Ape”. Other cast members include Forest Whitaker as Zuri, an elder statesman of Wakanda; Daniel Kaluuya as W'Kabi, a loyal friend to T'Challa; and the return of Andy Serkis as Ulysses Claw, with Danai Gurira and Florence Kasumba as members of T’Challa’s personal guard, the Dora Milaje. That mind-blowing cast takes to the screen on February 16, 2018.
