Marvel&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Kevin Feige<\/strong> is set to produce.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Black Panther<\/em> is seen as the first black hero in mainstream comics, He firt appeard in\u00a01966 as part of the\u00a0<em>Fantastic Four<\/em>comic books. A big-screen version has been in the works for awhile. It was first in development with <strong>Wesley Snipes<\/strong> starring for Columbia in the early 1990s.<\/p>\n<p>Since then the project has changed hands a few times. It transferred to Artisan Entertainment with Snipes still attached.\u00a0The\u00a0<em>Panther <\/em>came back to Marvel\u00a0in 2005 from Lionsgate, which bought Artisan in 2003.<\/p>\n<p>Bailey&#8217;s background in documentary films seems like an odd fit to me  He has been a writer or story editor on hard-hitting HBO documentaries  such as\u00a0<em>Pandemic: Facing AIDS <\/em>and<em> Ghost of Abu Ghraib<\/em>.  Doug Limans is set to direct Bailey&#8217;s most recent project for  Chockstone Productions. The film is a feature adaptation of the  non-fiction book\u00a0<em>The Last of the Tribe: The Epic Quest to Save a Lone Man in the Amazon.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>On the other hands, Bailey has dealt with some very real subject  matter which could boad well for the film by adding realism and  grittiness to the project.<\/p>\n<p>What are your thoughts on this news? Are you excited to finally see <em>Black Panther<\/em> on the big screen?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Black Panther is back in business at Marvel Studios.\u00a0Mark Bailey who has mostly worked on documentary films<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2399","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-geeky-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.geekworldordersite.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2399","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.geekworldordersite.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.geekworldordersite.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.geekworldordersite.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.geekworldordersite.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2399"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/www.geekworldordersite.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2399\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2401,"href":"http:\/\/www.geekworldordersite.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2399\/revisions\/2401"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.geekworldordersite.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2399"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.geekworldordersite.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2399"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.geekworldordersite.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2399"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
