Chadwick Boseman's Black Panther movie costume on display at D23 Expo 2017...

Black Panther's solo movie may not debut until next February, but that didn't stop Marvel Studios from teasing us with some fantastic costumes from the film at Disney's D23 Expo 2017 in Anaheim, California on July 14, 2017, including Chadwick Boseman's new Vibranium-laced suit and mask.

In the film, following the death of his father in Captain America: Civil War, 'T'Challa' returns home to the reclusive and technologically advanced African nation of Wakanda to take the throne as its new leader, but finds himself challenged for control of the country by multiple homegrown enemy factions.

It looks like the film is not only going to showcase a powerful black superhero, but the mix of sci-fi and African culture and tribal traditions is going to make for a comic book movie we've never seen on the big screen before.

Ruth E. Carter is Costume Designer on the Black Panther movie directed by Ryan Coogler, and you can also see her work in these Selma movie costumes, this Serenity film costume and these Roots 2016 TV mini-series costumes.

T'Challa's new mask looks much more feline in this new movie and fans of Wakanda's king can also compare this sleek, skintight look to his Black Panther costume from Captain America: Civil War.

Stay tuned for more elaborate costumes from the solo Black Panther movie coming in February 2018.
