Marvel now has its Black Panther.
Chadwick Boseman (Get On Up, Draft Day) was announced on Tuesday as the chief of the Panther Tribe for Marvel's Phase Three production.
"The @Marvel universe is now even larger," tweeted Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man) at Marvel's Phase Three unveiling, posing alongside Boseman. "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome Black Panther..."
The long-awaited film will hit theaters on Nov. 3, 2017, following closely behind the July release of Marvel's third Asgardian adventure, Thor: Ragnarok.
