It’s official – we’ve finally got our first glimpse at Marvel’s Black Panther on the set of ‘Captain America: Civil War’. And he looks pretty awesome.

Snapped on set in Berlin by photographer Andreas Meyer, it appears to be a stuntman inside the Black Panther costume. But while Chadwick Boseman was nowhere to be seen, this is our first glimpse at the awesome new suit.

As you can see, this rather impressive Black Panther suit very closely resembles the official concept art which was unveiled alongside the film’s official announcement. Sporting a full, jet-black suit and signature panther-style headpiece, it’s a rather imposing costume.



And from the set photos, it looks as though he’s getting stuck right into the action, as he chases down Bucky Barnes – aka the Winter Soldier – across the rooftops of the German capital.



How does this play into the larger ‘Civil War’ storyline? For now, that remains unclear… but with both Captain America and the Falcon appearing on set, it looks as though Black Panther has been caught up in the super-powered conflict.

An even closer look at the costume is revealed during the stunt performer’s downtime… and with a clearly tribal-influenced design around the arms and collar, comic book fans are going to be rather pleased with his big-screen look.



Will Black Panther sport a similarly awesome costume in his own solo film? For now, we’ll have to wait and see… but hopefully they don’t mess with this awesome design too much.



‘Captain America: Civil War’ heads to cinemas on 6 May 2016.
