What is it about the musical intros to animated series lately? I loved the pop-punk of the "Spectacular Spider-Man" theme, and now Marvel Animation and BET's "Black Panther" offers up yet another intro tune I want to add to my music library.
The series is written and co-produced by Reginald Hudlin, and premiered this month on Australian children's channel ABC3. Djimon Hounsou voices Black Panther, king of the African nation of Wakanda.
Comics fans will certainly appreciate the John Romita Jr. art used in the intro (or at least, it sure looks like Romita's art) from the "Who Is the Black Panther?" story arc authored by Hudlin and Romita.
Along with Hounsou as T'Challa, Stan Lee provides the voice of General Wallace, JB Blanc voices The Black Knight and (wait for it...) Batroc, Kerry Washington voices Princess Shuri and Jill Scott provides the voice of X-Men member Storm.
The series currently has no air date/network set for the U.S., but let's keep our fingers crossed, shall we?
