BET just held its upfronts announcing its 2008-2009 shows and there’s one for the comic book fans! The Marvel Comics character Black Panther will be getting his own animated series for the network. Black Panther has never been a major character in the Marvel U, but he’s consistently been around either in his own book, via guest appearances in Fantastic Four , where he got his start, or as an Avenger.
There have been several efforts to bring the character to the big screen including an attempt by Wesley Snipes who wanted to play the character. Marvel even recently announced that a film for the character was on their slate of upcoming projects. Just because he’s getting animated doesn’t mean he won’t appear on the big screen though. How many Spider Man series have their been? Ten years ago, Wesley Snipes would have been perfect in the role. The series is slated to premiere early next year.
