You can make a pretty solid argument that of the Marvel Universe movies, The "Captain America" trilogy has been the best. And among those three, the latest, "Captain America: Civil War," is the best.

Released last spring, it introduced us to Tom Holland as "Spider-man" (his movie is out July 7), and the great Chadwick Boseman as a lesser-known Marvel hero, "Black Panther."

NOW, "Black Panther" is set to return in a film of his own, February 16, 2018. Here's the official synopsis and teaser trailer that was came out last week.

"Marvel Studios’ Black Panther follows T’Challa who, after the death of his father, the King of Wakanda, returns home to the isolated, technologically advanced African nation to succeed to the throne and take his rightful place as king. But when a powerful old enemy reappears, T’Challa’s mettle as king—and Black Panther—is tested when he is drawn into a formidable conflict that puts the fate of Wakanda and the entire world at risk. Faced with treachery and danger, the young king must rally his allies and release the full power of Black Panther to defeat his foes and secure the safety of his people and their way of life."

The film also stars: Michael B. Jordan, Lupita Nyong’o, Danai Gurira, Martin Freeman, Daniel Kaluuya, Letitia Wright, Winston Duke, with Angela Bassett, with Forest Whitaker and, returning from Avengers: Age of Ultron, Andy Serkis.
