Yahoo News Marvel's Black Panther will feature a '90s flashback
Black Panther's solo Marvel outing is going right back into his past.
East Bay Times reports that AC Transit has approved the use of its logo for the movie, which will be painted onto a vintage bus as the film is being shot in Atlanta, Georgia and not Oakland.
It's said that Black Panther will feature a flashback to 1990 when T'Challa was a student at Saint Mary's College High School in Berkeley.
In the comics, T'Challa, AKA Black Panther, is educated at the finest schools in Europe and the Americas. So the bus will be a nod to that as well as to director Ryan Coogler's history, as he graduated from the same school.
Coogler has been busy gathering together an all-star cast for Black Panther. The latest actor to sign up was The People vs OJ Simpson's Sterling K Brown who has been cast as N'Jobu, a major figure from Black Panther's past. Could we be seeing him in the flashback?
Brown joins the likes of American Horror Story's Angela Bassett, Oscar winner Lupita Nyong'o, The Walking Dead's Danai Gurira, Michael B. Jordan and Rogue One's Forest Whitaker in the incredible cast.
Even Black Panther himself, Chadwick Boseman, is excited.
"Only at certain moments does it feel like it's historic," he told us last year. "I think I felt it when we were on the stage together at Comic-Con when all the other actors came out and [director Ryan Coogler] was there."
Black Panther opens in UK cinemas on February 9, 2018, premiering in the US a week later on February 16, 2018.
