Black Panther Film Will Link to Avengers: Infinity War

Thanos comes to Wakanda, BP uses the Soul Gem to summon all the Wakandan warriors that ever lived to fight his army, while the heroes take on Thanos and still lose.

You don't need a whole movie for that, just 15 minutes at the beginning of Infinity War. They aren't going to make an intro movie where the hero jobs horribly in the end.

No, the central conflict of BP will revolve around Klaw and Vibranium theft.
 
Even in the comics, Earth is acknowledged as being this weird magnet for crazy ass conflict and power. So much so that a bunch of the governing cosmic leaders argue to make the planet off-limits, and similarly, to not allow its chaotic nature to spill out and fuck up the rest of the galaxy. But Starlord's dad proposes this so he can go and fuck up the planet with no one else able to intervene.

You might not remember it but the main players in the universe decided to use the fact that Earth attracts weirdness and turn it into a prison for all the alien criminals. Including Ego.

Ronan was appointed the warden

I'm not really expecting any Infinity Stones to show up in this movie. Time Stone sounds like it'll be the Eye in Doctor Strange, and Soul Stone will probably show up in either Guardians 2 or Ragnarok.

Since Feige is saying that T'Challa's story is the link between BP and Infinity War, maybe it's something that T'Challa and/or Wakanda do that sets the stage for the status quo going into Infinity War? Maybe T'Challa is the only one who figures out what's coming and Wakanda are the only ones ready for when Thanos arrives?

My guess is that Civil War leaves all the heroes of Earth fractured and The Avengers disbanded, which takes care of the idiotic "why don't they call The Avengers?!" complaint. BP will end with him laying the groundwork for the Avengers to come back together right before the phase 3 Infinity War finale.
 
If they do it, hopefully it's handled better than Ant-Man's tie in - which was 100% horse shit.

the worst. literally walked out for a bathroom break during that useless scene.

then later on when a friend was watching it at his house and i saw the actual scene it was clear i didn't miss shit. could have cut that out of an otherwise decent movie and only the diehard mcu fans would have missed it.

fuck links to the avengers. if this is necessary to the film i hope coogler doesn't do it after all.

Oh I like that.

I just got to thinking, if Civil War follows through with the comic in
killing Steve and having Bucky take up the mantle
, then that would set a pretty interesting dynamic going into BP and Infinity War if
T'Challa and Bucky are enemies in Civil War but then have to work together in rebuilding the Avengers.
 
One does not simply walk into Wakanda.

Oh, he's not gonna walk into it :D

I bet you're not that far off, honestly. I bet Wakanda is the one Earth location that Thanos wrecks, uniting the Avengers against him.

I'm not sure I like this, but I can see them introducing Wakanda - and then having Thanos trash it.

It'd make sense. Panther keeps to himself and Wakanda until Thanos ruins everything with his purple chicken leg bullshit
 
Slayven bro, what's your secret? YOU have a scan for EVERYTHING. I didn't know there were infinity frogs until this thread.
 
I'll bet the vibranium ore deposit is an Infinity Stone, similar to how the Aether and Cosmic Cube are also Infinity Stones.

I'm going to say it's the Soul Gem, which Panther will use to bring Steve Rogers back from the grave.
 
What if vibranium and the herb are a by product of the gem crash landing on Wakanda?

Vibranium did hit earth as a meteorite

It's kind of annoying that so many of the gem stories are centered around earth. They should leave one more for the next Guardians or Thor movie. Connecting Panther to Infinity War via Vibranium is fine, but leave the gems out of it. It's too ridiculous of a coincidence, and then they have to resort to writing some lame blurb explaining why earth is a magnet for cosmic fuckery.
 
Hopefully it's 97% standalone and 3% tie in. I'd like for the character to have some room to breathe, before having his universe littered with outside entities.

Shouldn't be too hard. Ant-Man did it pretty gracefully, and that's despite the original sounds of it coming across erroneous to the point that the original director left.

It would be Earth's only Infinity Stone, no? Asgard had two--one of which they got from somewhere else--GotG's is from another planet, and Dr. Stange's is probably otherworldly in some way.
 
For a second there I thought this was about a new film about the Black Panthers and had to do a confused double-take at the connection to the Avengers.

Space (Captain America, The Avengers), Reality (Thor 2), Mind (The Avengers, Age of Ultron), and soon Time (Doctor Strange) will have all been part of earthbound stories. I'm not talking about where they're found or whatever, I'm just just talking about the movie settings in general. Strange crossing dimensions is a technicality - he's an earth hero.

I have a suspicion that Feige's "time" comment is misdirection, and the actual time stone is what's causing Ragnarok.
 
I mean... they've been that since Iron Man 2.

Ruined Iron Man 2 setting up their Avengers/MCU and not focusing on Tony. Fury just becomes a deus ex machina who provides Stark with what saves him at the end.

Should've focused more on his growing depression, mortality, alcoholism, losing his friends, Pepper etc. And the fact that the Russian/Soviet was as smart etc.

I feel same thing will happen to Black Panther. His first appearance is part of Captain America, and his film will set up Avengers 3, won't be self contained. Who knows though.
 
I'm trying to remember, but how did Ant-Man tie or make a reference to Avengers 3?

All I remember is that he said "Why don't we call the Avengers?" because he wasn't sure he wanted to wear the suit at that point.

edit:

oh, and he stole something from the Avengers compound and fought with Falcon in a completely forgettable scene

I don't really see how either of those tie-in to Infinity, but the Falcon was dope. One of the first things I recall when the movie is mentioned.
