Ulysses Klaue from Joss Whedon's "Avengers: Age of Ultron" links fans to Marvel's upcoming "Black Panther."
Marvel Cinematic Universe, a Marvel Facebook fanpage, shared a photo on Aug. 25. The photo shows a file containing information on Klaue, as well as his full-body and close-up image shots. According to the photo description, Klaue was a hired assassin contracted to kill Wakandan leader T'Chaka at the Bilderberg conference if he will not allow the sell Wakanda's assets, including vibranium.
It was indicated in Andrew Gifford's description that Klaue was there when his great-grandfather was killed by the Panther, presumably T'Chaka, in the 19th century when the former made an attempt to seize the African island. It was also stated that Klaue was negotiated to receive ten million dollars if he kills T'Chaka; however, it was not confirmed if the assassin managed to kill the Wakandan leader in his hands.
According to Cinema Blend, the events in the photo description could have already happened in the history of Marvel's Cinematic Universe. However, it could be possible for fans to see it as a flashback in Marvel's upcoming films. While it was not specified if Klaue succeeded to assassinate T'Chaka in the film, the death of the Wakandan leader triggers the grudge of T'Challa in the pages of the comics.
Chadwick Boseman will play the Wakandan Prince T'Challa, also known as Black Panther. Boseman is set to appear in Joe Russo and Anthony Russo's "Captain America: Civil War," which wrapped up its production a week after the 2015 D23 Expo, as per Entertainment Weekly. Black Panther is set to be of neutral side on the superhero registration act.
"Captain America: Civil War" stars Tom Holland, Marisa Tomei, Martin Freeman, Emily VanCamp, Daniel Bruhl, Hayley Atwell, Frank Grillo, Paul Bettany, Paul Rudd, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Elizabeth Olsen, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Robert Downey Jr., and Chris Evans.
Directed by the Russos, "Captain America: Civil War" is slated to premiere in theaters in the United States on May 6, 2016 while Marvel's "Black Panther" solo film is set to hit theaters on July 6, 2018.
