While attending an even in Los Angeles, the recently appointed Black
Panther, actor Chadwick Boseman was pressed into talking about the role, which
earned him a big round of applause at Marvel's recent announcement.
The actor said that when it comes to African-American superheroes having
their own movies or franchises we mustn't forget Wesley Snipes as Blade, but
also Anthony Mackie's prominent role as Sam Wilson, aka The Falcon in Captain
America: the Winter Soldier.
"The reaction on stage at the El Capitan Theater was, like, amazing.
The way that Marvel set it up and wanted to surprise people with it, it was one
of the best surprises that I've ever been a part of. I've heard from a lot of
my friends, and a lot of people I don't know have congratulated me -- but I've
actually not heard a lot from other people because I went away. I tried to get
away from everything just to ground myself. But it's been amazing. I'm so
excited! I'm ready to start right now, and they're telling me, 'Slow down a little
bit!'" It's never been done....It's been done before in different ways,
but it's never been done exactly like this. Wesley Snipes also had his own
franchise -- you have to acknowledge that. You have to acknowledge what
[Anthony] Mackie's doing [with the Falcon]. But this is a little different in
the way that Marvel is presenting it, so it's amazing."
