Ryan Coogler—the director behind Creed—is helming Marvel's upcoming Black Panther film. The biggest challenge in the film, the director said, is to make it "as personal as possible."

Marvel has been successful in creating a world in which characters "tie in and crossover," and Coogler hopes to continue that success. However, he wants the film to feel like he directed it."It's going to be my most personal movie to date, which is crazy to say," Coogler told Fast Company , "but it's completely the case."The director is "obsessed" with Black Panther, and how Marvel has handled his story so far. Coogler's Black Panther film is going to be "very unique," but "still fit in the narrative" Marvel has already established, he added."I grew up as a comic book fan, and the same things used to happen in the comic books," Coogler said. "You'd have Wolverine's books, and they'd be so much darker and more brutal than the X-Men books, but they'd still fit in when you open the pages of the X-Men book." It's a new thing for movies, Coogler said, but not new to storytelling. Chadwick Boseman made his debut as T'Challa —also known as Black Panther—in Captain America: Civil War. Reportedly, both Lupita Nyong'o and Michael B. Jordan will join Boseman in Marvel's Black Panther film.
