Why Marvel Studios Spent So Much Money On Black Panther

Why Marvel Studios Spent So Much Money On Black Panther

There's an adage which states that one must spend money to make money. While there's certainly an argument to be had over how much that applies to various industries, it sounds like that's something the folks at Marvel have taken to heart recently with Black Panther, as the film's budget apparently eclipsed budgets of several other recent Marvel projects. In fact, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige recently opened up and explained that the studio was comfortable investing so much money in Black Panther because it understands how important it is for the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Feige said:

It's a big story that deserves to be told in a big way, for all of the cultural and political reasons that people talk about, but also because it's such a key corner of our Marvel universe, and has been for decades and decades. We wanted to do it justice, and we have a studio with Disney, and leaders with Alan Horn and Bob Iger, who supported us a hundred percent.

There are a few different layers to that statement that seem worth digging into and dissecting. Chief among these layers is the fact that T'Challa (Chadwick Boseman) seems poised to become one of the most important characters for the latter half of Marvel's Phase 3 slate and possibly even the (still unknown) Phase 4 slate. Wakanda has finally become a central part of the MCU landscape, and Feige seems to recognize that Marvel Studios had to invest a certain amount of money to adequately realize Ryan Coogler's vision for the fictional and technologically-advanced nation.

Without that money to create an authentic Wakanda, Black Panther would've had to make creative sacrifices along the way. If that had happened, then we would've ended up with something more in-line with John Singleton's ill-fated Black Panther pitch from the 1990s than the wholly comic book-accurate version seen in 2018.

Beyond the realization of Black Panther and his corner of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Kevin Feige's remarks to Vulture about the amount of money invested into Black Panther underscore the film's cultural and political importance. Much has already been said about the fact that Black Panther is the first modern Marvel movie to be fronted by a black superhero. With that in mind, the last few years have shown that diversity can directly translate to a strong box office performance if executed correctly, which means that embracing inclusivity in superhero genres can also serve as a savvy business decision.

Luckily, much of the evidence already seems to indicate that the investment will pay off for Disney and Marvel Studios when Black Panther finally debuts. Early ticket sales for Black Panther recently blew past those of DCEU competitors like Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and estimates about the film's box office potential are nothing if not generous right now. In fact, they seem even to suggest that the film could make upwards of $170 million in North America over the course of President's Day weekend. That's not bad for a character who was arguably not that well-known amongst casual and mainstream audiences a few years ago. Ryan Coogler has said that he's not currently thinking about a sequel, but the potential for success means that the folks at Marvel Studios might want to put that on their radar relatively soon.

T'Challa will step into the spotlight when Black Panther premieres in theaters this weekend on February 16. If you want to know what critics are saying about the film, then make sure to check out our review roundup, as well as our in-depth review of the movie.

Whoa, okay. Artist BossLogic makes a good case here for the 31-year-old actor to suit up as one of the DCEU's Emerald Knights. I know photoshop is obviously at work here, but if you've seen Zac Efron's look in Neighbors and Baywatch, the brawny actor could certainly pull off the superhero look.

6 Pokemon Movies Wed Like To See After Detective Pikachu

6 Pokemon Movies Wed Like To See After Detective Pikachu

Warning: spoilers for Pokemon: Detective Pikachu are in play. If you dont want to be spoiled, head over to another story and come back once youre current.

Over this past weekend, the world was more than kind to the unveiling of what represents the first step into a greater world, with the release of Pokemon: Detective Pikachu. As the world of the Pokemon craze has finally hit the big screen in live-action, the possibilities are now endless.

But in a world where any Pokemon movie could happen, which ones should? Theres already a wealth of films that could come out of this first installment, and its a topic worthy of discussion.

In honor of Pokemon: Detective Pikachus impressive opening weekend, and in tribute to all of the Pokemon fans out there who made it so big, heres a list of the next films wed love to see come out of this burgeoning cinematic universe.

Detective Pikachu 2The first suggestion is an obvious one, as Pokemon: Detective Pikachu could always use a direct sequel, and one is already in the works. With Justice Smiths Tim Goodman now staying in Ryme City with his father, and his intent to try and become a detective, theres definitely room for at least one more adventure with the Goodman family.

While itd obviously have to be different than the first film, as Harrys Pikachu wouldnt have his consciousness in it this time, the wisecracks between father and son would basically serve the purpose that Detective Pikachu did in this first film. Also, the bonus is that wed get to discover the personality of the actual Pikachu that Harrys partnered up with, which is bound to be cute and informative.

Pokemon SnapOne of the most fondly remembered games in the Pokemon canon, Pokemon Snap has a pretty simple story to it. A young man by the name of Todd Snap is hired to take pictures of various Pokemon, in a region that doesnt see a lot of human action. This allows anyone who wants to visit it access to some hard data about various species and their lives in the wild.

If thats not a fantastic idea for a Pokemon film, then good luck finding another one. Pokemon Snap could be an adventure on the same level as Jurassic Park, with a small group of photographers joining Todd along for the ride. Weve seen the miracle of Pokemon living with humans already, so seeing them undisturbed in the wild, along with any exciting consequences that come from when they are disturbed, seems like itd be a lot of fun.

Team Rockets Origin StoryConfession time: when the mysterious substance R was revealed in Pokemon: Detective Pikachu, it felt like there was a setup in the works that would eventually reveal Team Rocket as a part of the cinematic universe. While that never panned out, it wouldnt be a terrible idea to help expand that corner of the universe.

We already know that the events of Pokemon: The First Movie are canon, thanks to Mewtwos backstory folding it into Pokemon: Detective Pikachu. So going back to where it all began, and bringing that story into a live-action context, would be another great step to building the Pokemon stable of films.

A Pokemon: The First Movie Live-Action RemakeAnother good thing about folding Pokemon: The First Movie into the canon that exists in the live-action film universe of Pokemon is the fact that, if the studio really wanted to, they could remake that classic original film. And remaking it into a live-action version would serve more of a purpose than just reviving nostalgia.

For starters, the story of Pokemon: The First Movie could be enhanced and retrofitted to slot in with Pokemon: Detective Pikachus story a lot better. Also, bringing back the adventures of Ash Ketcham and his dear friends in a new remake would set up an entire series of his adventures being brought to film, filling in the years in-between. Of course, theres another reason that bringing Pokemon: The First Movie into the recent canon would work perfectly, and its to set up another new opportunity to tell a Pokemon-centric story.

A Brand New Mewtwo Stand-Alone StoryWith Mewtwo wondering around the wilderness of the Pokemon universe for almost two decades, theres a lot of story that could be told in that very window of opportunity. Much like Planet of the Apes Caesar, Mewtwo has a hell of a story to be told when dealing with his checkered past involving humanity.

And much like Pokemon Snap, this Mewtwo stand-alone adventure could take the action to a far off location in the more wooded areas past Ryme City, allowing for more open and wild adventures to take place. Throw in the fact that we might even get to see what Mew has been up to in the time that Mewtwo has been running wild, and thats just more story for the taking in a Mewtwo movie.

Super Smash Bros: The MoviePerhaps the greatest potential for a Pokemon follow-up movie is one that would take some heavy lifting, and years of preparation. With a roster of characters from games far and wide, Super Smash Bros is something that would excite fans of not only Pokemon, but also the greater video game universe. But even if you're not a dyed in the wool fan of this particular fighting series, being a fan of at least one of the properties represented will give you a way into the story of this particular film.

The game's simple story of combatants from all over being drawn together to fight for victory under a specific set of circumstances is basically The Avengers of video games, and taking that to the big screen would be a feat that would be so daunting, and yet so rewarding. If the creative team behind a Super Smash Bros movie nailed that concept on film, the payoff would be so great that there might be hope for other video game movies to get it right themselves. Also, Pikachu and Mewtwo are just two of the Pokemon available in that game, so the ties to the franchise run deeper than most would expect.

Six movies, each of them amazing examples of how Pokemon has set itself up to tell a story so great, it could chance the face of video game movies forever. In Pokemon: Detective Pikachu, Warner Bros and the creative team they've enlisted have proven that they truly understand the world of the franchise and what it needed to become a live-action crossover hit. Now it's time to push the envelope again, and choose to go places that this series, and video game films in general, haven't gone yet, if not for the studio's sake, then for the fans who are already enamored with Pokemon: Detective Pikachu.

Pokemon: Detective Pikachu is in theaters now, waiting for Pokemon fans to understand the power thats inside this new cinematic universe. But before we leave, we have a question: which of these potential Pokemon films do you want to see the most?
