One of Marvel's biggest announcements has been the casting of Chadwick Boseman as Black Panther, but when will the actor begin work on the character and what kind of work will tha entail?

Comic Book Movie caught up with Boseman on Sunday at a press conference and the actor answered a few questions about his character and the role he would have in Captain America 3.

"I'll be in Captain America: Civil War," he said. "We're preparing for that right now as well; [I'm] just sort of beginning the workout for that. We also have A Message From the King which will happen before [Civil War]."

Boseman added that no real work had been done yet to get ready for the film, but it was one that he was looking forward to. He also spoke about not being able to reveal that he had the role originally.

"I told some of my close friends. I had to keep quiet about it, so there wasn't a lot I could do to be honest. It was mainly after it was announced I could celebrate it with people. Just to spend some time with people that I care about afterwards," he said.

"I'm actually preparing for another role at this moment. A Message From the King is the movie I'm doing next. I'm doing prep for that. To some degree, there are some things I have to do at the same time. Black Panther will have its time when it gets complete focus."

His character in A Message From The King is also South African so it could be a natural change move with the accent that Boseman uses in that movie to the role of Black Panther.

Captain America: Civil War comes out on May 6, 2016.
