Story

"Meets" Pitch: Lion King meets Sherlock Holmes
Comic Book Inspirations: Rage of the Black Panther, Who is the Black Panther, Avengers Earth's Mightiest Heroes cartoon, Ultimate Avengers 2 animated film.
One-er: After the death of his father, Prince T'Challa, the Black Panther, must face a country in turmoil, a mercenary army and his own unworthiness to be the King of the Most Dangerous Nation on Earth.

Act I: T'Chaka fights against a mercenary army before being challenged by M'Baka, he is crippled by supersonics and killed. T'Challa has been finishing his walkabout, and has just started dating a brilliant free spirit named Monica when he is summoned home, and shadow the State Department has given him, Everett Ross, is compelled to go with him, as does Monica. There are a number of dissenting factions in Wakanda, led by his mother, his cousin and new King M'Baka. T'Challa is defeated by M'Baka, but saved by the Dora Milaje, he escapes.
Act II: T'Challa must recruit supporters and comes in contact with the different parts of Wakanda as he discovers what's happened, eventually leading him to conflict with Ulysses S. Klaw, who proves to be even more powerful, thanks to his incredible sonic weaponry. After rescuing Hawkeye from Klaw, T'Challa begins to rally his forces and come up with a plan, only to be betrayed by one of his supporters, leaving him alone against all of Wakanda, the most dangerous nation on Earth.
Act III: T'Challa, seeking the old ways in a ceremony to contact Bast and using that in tandem with his understanding of physics creates Shadow Physics to allow him to basically appear in and out of Shadows as needed. He then proceeds to absolutely wreck shop on Klaw and his mercs, causing Klaw to get turned into sonic energy, saves his girlfriend and his sister with the help of Hawkeye and Ev Ross and then proceeds to challenge M'Baka the old fashioned way and beat him down, and offer him forgiveness. Before assuming his rightful place as the King of Wakanda.

Production Notes

• Film should shoot in South Africa, using local talent and locations, and maximizing the budget to make for something that is as big as BvS or AoU on a standard or perhaps slightly smaller MCU budget of 120M by leveraging location access, extras, immense tax benefits, and favorable exchange rate vor everything from local soundstages to crew accommodations. Any New York scenes can be shot in J-Burg, for instance.
• Music should have neo-African flavor, as distinct from traditional African music as J-Pop is from traditional Japanese music. Consider using modern instruments with the rich choral arrangements of a Ladysmith Black Mambazo.
• T'Challa's fighting style has evolved even from Civil War. He is very much a super acrobat, much more than Captain America and Black Widow. There is a rhythm to his style, he is indeed dancing, consider taking Capoeria and mixing with Wu Shu and something akin to what a Spider-Man would do in similar circumstances.
• Wakanda here is posed as a small wealthy community, more akin to a modern Andorra than a sort of uber-Kenya. They anachronism of tablets and kente cloth should be taken in huge stride as a given, part of the setting, and portrayed as though this is simply what Africa is like, without mocking the audience for their preconceptions.
• The themes of the film are about heredity and breaking cycles and traditions and forging one's own identity in an uncertain world. This applies to T'Challa in the spoken dialogue, but the country of Wakanda in the unspoken dialogue. In the end, these things are no addressed as change, but simply a deeper but modern revelation of the true nature of T'Challa, and by extension Wakanda all along.
• In the wider scheme of the MCU, the goal is to make Wakanda one of T'Challa's abilities, literally a super power, as the film ends with him having a united army and a large set of advanced technology which he can deploy as he sees fit. This will be very important for his Sixth Ranger/Han Solo rescue moment in Infinity War. Further, it establishes a sort of terran sanctuary that heroes can rest in that is seen as neutral ground from Civil Wars, defensible even from alien invasions and ruled by a fair and impartial king in T'Challa.

Not bad, not bad at all. I think the ladies playing the Dora Milaje aren't as suited for the roles of bodyguard as I would like. While these women are beautiful The Dora Milaje should be drop dead gorgeous and completely bad ass. Just my opinion. The casting is solid enough, I don't really care for Snipes as Tchaka and I like Wesley but just not for this role.

I won't mention the million pound elephant in the room and you should know who I'm talking about.

I would replace uncle s'yan with morgan freeman. that would bring more people to the seats. They need to cast some big actors for supporting characters

I would replace uncle s'yan with morgan freeman. that would bring more people to the seats. They need to cast some big actors for supporting characters

Actors bringing a large fan base to a movie is overrated. Who seriously would go hey Morgan Freeman is in this as a minor character, I'm going to watch this film.

RDJ arguably the biggest movie star right now couldn't get people to go to the Judge. Johnny Depp couldn't get people to go to Transcendence. Will Smith and After Earth, I could go on.

If anything Morgan Freeman in a role will just distract from the characters, same with Jonah Hill

 

[fixxxer]

^

In every MCU movie, the supporting cast has been peppered with A/A-/B+ listers from Hollywood. I don't see why Black Panther would be any different, and how the likes of Jonah Hill and Morgan Freeman would be a distraction.

If anything, hiring a few big names would actually lend a good deal of credibility in the eyes of the GA. The likes of us would run to the theater with much bluster, chest-bumping and cartwheeling... whether or not someone like Morgan Freeman is in the movie. But for various slices of the GA, having a couple of names up there always helps up the profile of the movie.

 

[fixxxer]

Nice write-up, DrCosmic. I'm actually expecting something very similar to that outline.

Awesome Plot with a Killer Third act.Quick question:what exactly is the Reason for Tchallas walkabout?Does he beome the panther after the walkabout?Sorry not that familiar with Panther lore​

 

[eon001]

In the midst of all the action I for sure want to see a touch of House of cards. How does Wakanda deal with being the most developed country on the planet, in the the middle of one of the most under developed continents. Corruption, relationships with other super power countries etc. I also hope they have the balls to include a scene like this.

"I understand your frustration in dealing with a Black man who can't be bought with a truck full of guns, a plane full of blondes and a Swiss bank account, but please, hold on to what little class you have!" - King T'Chaka

 

[CaptainWagner]

Okay, here's my pitch:

Chadwick Boseman as T'Challa Prince of Wakanda

Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye American agent tasked to protect T'Challa while he visits the states

Denzel Washington as Uncle S'Yan T'Challa's mentor and guardian during his studies

Clarke Peters as T'Chaka King of Wakanda, idolized by his son despite being a distant father

Gugu M'Batha Raw as Monica Lynne American singer with whom T'Challa falls in love

Andy Serkis as Ulysses Klaw Ruthless mining magnate determined to access the Vibranium mines

Quinton Jackson as M'Baku Court advisor to T'Chaka, secretly leader of the White Gorilla Cult, a terrorist group dedicated to returning Wakanda to its traditional ways

Kevin Chapman as Dan Dunn Mild-mannered shipping executive forced to aid his brother-in-laws neo-Nazi gang, the Sons of the Serpent

Seamus Dever as Hunter Adopted son of King T'Chaka, Hunter is distrusted by the Wakandan chiefs due to his outsider status

And here's the story:

Following the events of the previous film, King T'Chaka is opening up Wakanda to the
outside market for the first time ever and sending his son T'Challa on a worldwide college tour. The ceremonies are ruined when the White Gorillas attack. The infraction is quickly dealt with and T'Challa departs on his journey with S'Yan accompanying him. Also present is Ulysses Klaw, the front runner to gain access to the Vibranium mines, who has become close friends with T'Chaka. However, S'Yan distrusts him.

Later, T'Chaka's negotiations with Klaw's company goes south. One night, the White
Gorillas infiltrate the royal palace. T'Chaka goes to don the Black Panther armor but is confronted by Klaw. The two fight and the King is mortally wounded, but not before pushing Klaw into one of the many weapons stored in the Royal Armory. As he lays dying, T'Chaka manages to contact S'Yan, telling him to keep T'Challa safe.

The focus now shifts to T'Challa, who is greatly enjoying his college tour, flouting his
royal status to get his way and frequently getting into fights. He sees on the news that his father has "fallen ill" and that M'Baku will rule in his place until his recovery. S'Yan chooses to hide the truth, only telling T'Challa that he needs to move on to America. Upon arrival, it is revealed that S'Yan called ahead, requesting added security. This comes in the form of Clint Barton and several recent graduates of The Initiative. Clint, expecting a backwards "jungle boy" is caught off guard by the mannerisms of the Wakandans. However, he and T'Challa quickly become friends, despite S'Yan's disapproval, and decide to take a trip to Niagara Falls. On orders to keep a low profile, T'Challa and Clint spend their time traversing the various local casinos and clubs, including one featuring young singer Monica Lynne, with whom T'Challa quickly falls in love. He struggles grasping American "courtship methods", but after some help from Clint, manages to take Monica on a date. Unfortunately, when a random stranger tries to flirt with her, T'Challa retaliates, starting a massive, televised brawl.

Back in Wakanda, Hunter heads the secret police in tracking down the White Gorillas,
utilizing brutal interrogation techniques. However, he grows increasingly suspicious of M'Baku, who refuses to let him see his father. One night, Hunter sneaks into the inner chambers, but instead of finding his father comes face to face with Klaw, in his to cyborg, sonic-powered form. M'Baku walks in, revealing himself as the leader of the White Gorillas. Hunter fights his way out of the palace and flees into the jungle along with his secret police. Back in the palace, M'Baku asserts that it's time for the prince to come home, once they find him. Klaw turns on the television, showing T'Challa's fight in Niagara.

Back in Niagara, S'Yan is furious with T'Challa. He dismisses Clint and his team and
makes plans to leave at once. However, T'Challa runs off to find Monica. Meanwhile, the Sons of the Serpent are introduced. Led by the sadistic Montague Hale, an old friend of Klaw's, and his cowardly step brother, shipping magnate Dan Dunn, the Serpents are a white-supremacist gang in control of numerous illicit activities across New York. Hale is hired by Klaw to bring him T'Chaka. Meanwhile, the young prince himself has finally located Monica and reveals his true identity to her. It doesn't affect her views of him and she agrees to go with him. The two leave and rendezvous with Clint. Unfortunately, the Serpents had him under surveillance and attack. Monica is captured. Clint and T'Challa go on the run. Montague kills some of Clint's team and sends Monica on a plane to Wakanda before taking over the hunt personally. After a long, drawn out chase through Niagara, T'Challa and Clint are captured, but Montague is killed. Thrust into a leadership position, Dunn chooses to just kill the prisoners and move on, taking them out onto the river on the Serpents floating base. Just in time, S'Yan comes to the rescue and sets off a fight as the base crashes down the rapids. The heroes escape at the last second along with Dunn, who tells them everything. S'Yan reveals that he knew the King was dead all along, but kept it secret because he knew T'Challa would do something rash. Ultimately, Clint, S'Yan, T'Challa and the lone survivor of Clint's squad, Stingray, plan to set off for Wakanda together.

Monica arrives in Wakanda but, before she is delivered to Klaw, escapes and is found by
Hunter. Hunter has constructed his own Black Panther suit and is trying to unite the tribes, but can not get the chiefs to trust him. He confides his frustrations and jealousy of his brother with Monica, whom he clearly has feelings for.

The group of heroes finally arrives in Wakanda on one of Dunn's boats. They split up,
with T'Challa, Dunn, and Stingray head to the palace while S'Yan and Clint go to find Hunter. He has called a meeting of the tribes to try and convince them to rebel against Klaw and M'Baku. His inspirational speeches fail until S'Yan arrives with new of T'Challa's return. The chiefs agree to go to war.

The next night, T'Challa, Stingray, and Dunn break into Klaw's headquarters in a
sequence reminiscent of Mission Impossible. They make it to the trophy room and T'Challa dons the Black Panther armor and films a speech before the three head to the palace.

The Wakandan's attack is initially rebuffed, as M'Baku himself dons the White Gorilla
cowl and goes to battle. However, they are inspired when T'Challa plays his speech. Hunter and Clint defeat M'Baku together, and Hunter finally receives respect from the chiefs. As the battle ends, Klaw attempts to flee with his Vibranium stockpile, but is confronted by T'Challa. The two have an epic showdown, during which Klaw claims to have killed Monica, inciting T'Challa to blind rage. The two ultimately crash down into the battle ground. T'Challa almost kills Klaw, but is stopped when he sees Monica running towards him.

In conclusion, we see T'Challa's coronation. S'Yan is made chief advisor, Hunter is chief
of police. Clint and Stingray take Klaw into custody. Monica stays with T'Challa, as does Dunn, who will be in protective custody until he testifies against the both Klaw and the Serpents.


Post Credits Scene: Klaw arrives in prison in a containment suit. He looks around, seeing several other past villains. He is approached by Justin Hammer (or Zemo, if he's been introduced) who welcomes him to "The Raft" and introduces a plan he likes to call: The Thunderbolts.

[eon001]

Haven't got any particular story line in mind but I would like the following elements.
House of cards - Can't ignore the political stuff. T'Challa is the leader of a nation. He's Obama with a cape.
Batman - Super genius with unlimited resources. He's Batman on steroids
Coming to America - I like the idea of African leader wanting to explore outside his country. Opens the door for Monica Lynne. T'Challa meets her on a business trip or something.
