Animation – In regards to the animated series, the panelists were thrilled to have Djimon Hounsou (Amistad, Gladiator, Push) doing the voice of the Black Panther. “He was a powerful presence in the booth,” Hudlin noted.
Kerry Washington (Ray) and Alfre Woodard (Beauty Shop) will be providing voices for the series as well, and the preview video for the series featured the stars discussing their process as well as Stan Lee talking about the origin of the Black Panther — and lending his voice to the series.
Comic - Echo, Monica Rambeau, Sue Storm, and Storm have been bandied about as the new Black Panther, and series author Reggie Hudlin even joked, “Is Logan the new Black Panther? He acquired the tertiary mutant power of boobs.”
“I’m gonna tell you,” Hudlin continued, “It’s Michelle Obama.”
Namor will be making an appearance in the next few issues of Black Panther as well, and Doctor Doom will be showing up with an army of Doom-bots.
“One of the things I like about Black Panther, he doesn’t have that whole ‘no killing’ thing,” Hudlin noted. “He’s an honorable man, but he will put a mad dog down.”
“The female Black Panther is here, she’s here for a while,” executive editor Axel Alonso noted.
Hudlin continued that turning the Black Panther into a woman, “isn’t even the most radical thing we’re going to be doing in this series.”
He said that he’s had 40 issues to write the stories he always wanted to see, “and now I’m going to wreck the place.”
