Black Panther Asian Premiere in S. Korea (Busan Panther) 감사합니다!

Stars Chadwick Boseman, Lupita Nyong'o, Michael B. Jordan and director Ryan Coogler were in Seoul on the first leg of a worldwide tour to promote the "revolutionary" superhero movie. The stars of Black Panther kicked off the movie's international tour this week in South Korea, where key action scenes were shot, and were eager to discuss the political aspects of Marvel's most diverse franchise. "My own personal culture and heritage is something I've always appreciated since I was very young and I've always loved superhero comic books and movies. So it's a blessing to be able to merge these two ideas into one project. It was really surreal to be a part of this process," director Ryan Coogler told reporters during the Asia junket held Monday in Seoul. The filmmaker added how he was in his northern California hometown with his wife when he received the directing job offer from Marvel, and the first thing he did was visit the comic book store where he first came across the original Black Panther books as a kid. Chadwick Boseman, who plays the lead role of the shadowy superhero as well as T'Challa, the young ruler of the fictional African nation of Wakanda, also expressed his excitement of being part of the franchise. "I never said yes to any role without reading the script, without knowing the director," he said about agreeing to take part in the project while attending a red-carpet event in Switzerland.
