Marvel Studios Looking at Black Panther Again

Marvel is looking to bring yet another of its black superheroes to the big screen.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, documentary filmmaker Mark Bailey has been hired to hammer out a script about T’Challa aka the Black Panther, the king of a resource-rich fictional African country who becomes a superhero. The project is produced by Marvel Studio’s Kevin Feige.

The Black Panther first appeared in 1966 in an issue of a Fantastic Four comic and is widely considered the first black hero in mainstream comics. A movie version starring Wesley Snipes was first in development in the early 90s at Columbia Pictures. Snipes later went on to star in Blade, a film also based on a Marvel Comics character and one that’s credited for jump starting the current comic book movie boom.

No Vaseline: Wesley Snipes Must Reimburse The Government’s Prosecution Charges

Black men can't win.

Brothers is losing.

Remember back in February when Wesley Snipes was convicted on tax evasion or some shit? Well, in an instance of making this Negro an even bigger example of why you shouldn’t blerg around with Uncle Sam’s money, a judge has decreed that the actor must also reimburse the government in prosecution costs for his tax conviction.
