An interview last week said the cast details should be coming very soon. I imagine we'll know within the next two weeks. Production is set to begin first week of June.

Yeah there is still time for PR.

Found some interesting conceptual art from a artist for a Black Panther movie. I'd hope the movie would look something like this guys going for.

Can't imagine why anybody wouldn't want a Black Panther movie.

I would be shocked if that is real.
Isn't that the same logo off of THIS THING? Pretty sure it's fake.

...what the hell have you watching...what?
Nobody seems to think it's too much when it comes to somebody like Batman. Funny how that works.
I wonder if you feel the same way about Latveria.

Avi Arad can go suck on a lemon.

Arad had no influence beyond Iron Man 1/2 and The Incredible Hulk. It's pretty hilarious that he is saying this stuff. I bet he regrets resigning with all the money that's been made recently for Marvel Studios...but had he still been there would that money have been made? I'm not so sure. Feige is definitely a huge reason for the MCU's success thus far.
Of couse he did not have influence for latter movies, but that is not the point. He was instrumental in creation of modern superhero movement [Spiderman/Xmen/FF franchise] and was also responsible for building foundation of Marvel's internal film studio. Sure, they kicked him but his contribution to MCU needs to be remembered.

Nah
Where's that picture of sad Spider-Man watching The Avengers eating shawarma? Because that's what's going on for real right now.
Racism probably.

Sure, he definitely deserves some credit, but even if he laid the groundwork it's Feige who has actually built it up...and is continuing to expand it. He's suggesting that Feige deserves no credit and is being told to take it because his superiors are making him. That's just stupid.
I don't agree with him (I would love to see Wakanda) but I'm guessing it is because Asgard is not on Earth and Wakanda is. The MCU taking place on a more "grounded" and "realistic" Earth would make Wakanda being around a strange revelation.
That being said, MCU is getting further away from "reality" with every film, so that's not really an excuse that can stand at this point (and I imagine especially not after Age of Ultron).
Oh fuck no.
There isn't anything really unrealistic about Wakanda if we go by the current MCU. They are a super secretive and isolationist country so its not stretch for Wakanda not be to be well known or not have a great deal of influence on the outside world. Their advanced technology really wouldn't be that much of a stretch either in world with Iron Man, SHIELD Helicarriers and Hydra tech from WWII. AoS further bends the tech curve with Graviton, Blizzard and Deathlok.

Wakanda is insanely cool and if it gets neutered I'll be pissed. Marvel ran out of excuses for how crazy they're willing to be the moment they put Rocket Raccoon on screens.
Speaking of which, I don't recall Feige ever taking single-handed credit for Marvel's planning and success. When he talks about the studio and their movie slates, it's a lot of "We did this" and "We believed in this character."
I think it's more that Thor and Guardians happen on other planets and across the galaxy, so weird, out-of-this world shit is kind of expected. Whereas Black Panther not only happens on Earth, but in the heart of Africa, and that weird blend of wielding incredibly advanced tech while living in the bush sticks out in a strange way.

Well, Arad did support Marvel Studios going into self-production and was probably key in getting that initiative off the ground, so I think there's a lot of truth here.
On the other hand, there are a number of sources to the effect that Arad disagreed with Maisel, Feige, and other execs over the characters being used and the number of films being made. I suspect that he wouldn't have had stand-alone Thor or Captain America films made before Avengers, for one thing.
I think it's clear that Arad is salty as fuck, especially from the tone of his response. But he does have a point. The article made it sound like he balked at the idea and bailed out, and Marvel succeeded by their own ability only after he left. As a businessman, he probably hate how that makes him look bad and incompetent.

I think Arad doesn't get much credit for what he's done... but if he stayed with Marvel, I don't think they would be as successful as they are now.
Another issue here is that he seems to be speaking entirely from the business end and not the creative end.
I have never seen any indication that he is responsible for creative decisions that fans have enjoyed in the finished films.
Well, he's responsible for venom in spider man 3..

Probably. I've never gotten the sense that he believed in the full range of their IP as much as Feige does.

I get that people wanted to believe Fox would let the rights revert back even after they already dated the sequel for 2017, but I hope most of you were smarter than that.
