OAKLAND — A 1990s-era AC Transit bus could be getting some screen time in an upcoming Marvel movie.

The transit agency’s governing board approved the use of its logo Wednesday night, according to agency spokesman, Robert Lyles.

The planned Marvel Studios movie is an adaptation of its Black Panther comic book, whose central character, T’Challa, must defend his kingdom from destruction by enemy forces. The film’s director, Ryan Coogler of “Fruitvale Station” and “Creed” fame, is an Oakland native who grew up in Richmond, according to an AC Transit report. And, he’s expected to sprinkle a little Bay Area love into the film.

In one scene, the film’s protagonist has a flashback to 1990, while he was a student at Saint Mary’s College High School in Berkeley. And of course, he’s a daily AC Transit commuter. Cue the 1990s-era bus for the appropriate establishing shot. (We’ll assume the bus is arriving on time. It is Hollywood, after all.)

Unfortunately for Bay Area film aficionados, the movie will be shot in Atlanta, Georgia, not Oakland. And, rather than haul an authentic bus down south, the film crew plans to rent a vintage bus specific to the era and paint it with AC Transit’s logo.

No AC Transit bus explosions, either, from what we’ve been told. Which is a shame, because who wouldn’t want to see that?

The film is expected to star Chadwick Boseman, Angela Bassett, Michael B. Jordan, Martin Freeman, Forest Whitaker, Andy Serkis and Lupita Nyong’o.
