Everybody get up, the Space Jam sequel is suddenly stacked.
With no casting beyond LeBron James and Bugs Bunny, the upcoming sports-comedy-cartoon followup will now be produced by Ryan Coogler. Terence Nance (Random Acts of Flyness) will direct.

The addition of Coogler has fans buzzing, since as a director he is known for more serious fare – even Black Panther, a superhero blockbuster, was layered with sociopolitical nuance. Nance, whose main directing credit is the experimental film The Oversimplification of Her Beauty, is an interesting and intriguing choice to direct. Read more…

If you left Avengers: Infinity War wanting way more of Wakanda and way less of everything else — hard same.
And we’re in luck, because USA Today released an exclusive clip of a deleted Black Panther scene. It’s a reminder of what makes the film stand out in the Marvel franchise, displaying the incredible depth of its characters while also speaking to real-world cultural issues and questions.
Most scintillatingly, it finally confirms what many suspected: Okoye and W’Kabi are married. And marriage is tough, man.
The scene takes place right after T’Challa loses the King’s Challenge to Erik Killmonger, and is thrown off a waterfall — presumably to his death. Read more…

Marvel hasn’t ever seen a success like ‘Black Panther’ before

In its opening weekend, Black Panther broke records. But in its second weekend, Marvel’s latest showed us it’s here to stay.
Black Panther‘s estimated three-day box office total in the United States for Friday-Saturday-Sunday comes out to $108 million. After 10 days in theaters, its domestic box office total (i.e. only here in the U.S.) is $400 million.
That climb ranks alongside Jurassic World as the second-fastest box office ascent in Hollywood history. Both of them fall behind Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which got to $400 million even faster. Among Marvel Cinematic Universe releases, however, Black Panther is #1The Avengers needed 14 days to log the same achievement. Read more…

Why you should watch ‘Fruitvale Station’ before seeing ‘Black Panther’

Excited for Black Panther? So are we. Which is why we’re rolling out obsessive coverage with Black Panther Week.
Long before super-team duo Michael B. Jordan and Ryan Coogler teamed up in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, they did so in Oakland.
The two first joined forces in an indie film turned critical darling called Fruitvale Station, which documented the life of 22-year old Oscar Grant before he was shot and killed by BART police on New Year’s Day in 2009. It was a deeply personal, gut-wrenching look at Grant’s death, and it gave a face to a polarizing debate about race and authority in America — humanizing one the biggest national discussions of its time.
