Marvel Finds Writer for Black Panther

[A-Train]

Marvel may have found the screenwriter to pen its upcoming “Black Panther” movie.

Sources tell Variety that Joe Robert Cole, who comes from Marvel’s in-house writing program, is in negotiations to write the script to the comic book adaptation starring Chadwick Boseman.

The program has already supplied one scripter who delivered a hit, “Guardians of the Galaxy” screenwriter Nicole Pearlman. The studio believes the system helps writers understand the Marvel universe better.

Kevin Feige is producing the pic. Boseman is attached to star as T’Challa, the prince of the African nation of Wakanda, who must take over the mantel after his father’s murder.

No director is currently attached, although Marvel had considered helmers like Ava DuVernay. The film will hits theaters on July 6, 2018.

Cole is also attached to pen Marvel’s “Inhumans.” He is repped by CAA and Circle of Confusion.

Marvel's 'Black Panther' Movie Finds Writer

All the guardian writers are writing other marvel movies.

I wonder if this is a case of giving a promising writer a shot or just Marvel continuing their penchant of being cheap as fukk when it comes to hiring writers/directors.

If the both writer and director end up being Black, I'll prematurely call this a win without seeing a single frame of footage. It's better than the alternative.

All the guardian writers are writing other marvel movies.

Only two people wrote Guardians. The initial draft by Nicole Perlman (also part of the same Marvel writers program) and then she was damn near completely rewritten by James Gunn so that's mostly a movie entirely conceived by Gunn
