Concept art gives fans a peek inside the process of character design, and the latest reveals what Black Panther might have looked like in Captain America: Civil War.
Artist Andy Park worked on Civil War, a film that featured the debut of both Spider-Man and Black Panther. Both were incredibly well received, but there was another vision for Panther's costume that embraced more textures and armor lines.
It has a more hi-tech feel than the costume Marvel ended up going with for Civil War, and Park couldn't be happier about their choice.
Park shared an image of the costume, saying "This was an alternate concept design I painted up for #CaptainAmericaCivilWar They did such a good job introducing this character into the MCU. I remember watching it for the 1st time & thinking what a great job they did with the character. I can't wait until February!"
It doesn't look as if many changes were made to Panther's costume from Civil War, but you can see what could've been in the photo up above.
Black Panther currently has a 4.03 out of 5 on ComicBook.com's anticipation rankings, and you can submit your vote here. The official description is listed below.
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
