First Black Panther Teaser to Air Tonight During NBA Finals

Chadwick Boseman’s Black Panther character was one of the many highlights of last year’s Captain America: Civil War. After Boseman’s focused, sinewy performance, fans have been clamoring for details on the Black Panther standalone film. And now, after about a year of not a whole lot of information from Marvel, it looks like we’re finally about to get something. Boseman recently tweeted that we should definitely watch the NBA Finals tonight, sharing the film’s poster and hinting strongly that there will soon be a trailer.

Thankful… #TChalla#BlackPanther

Here’s hoping that—as an additional movie teaser—the Cavs will enlist the help of the Black Panther himself in a last-ditch effort to stem the onslaught of the Warrior’s rout. Either way, seems like it’ll be a game worth watching.
