Will Smith Joins the MCU as Black Panther in Epic New Concept Trailer

As fans patiently await Marvel Studios’ Black Panther 3, a stunning fan-made trailer is making waves online, imagining Will Smith as the new Black Panther in the MCU. Although it is a concept trailer combining footage from other MCU and Will Smith films (as well as a bit of *shudder* AI usage), the actor appears to have effectively fit into the role of Wakanda’s King. You can check the trailer out below! It’s been nine years since the late, great Chadwick Boseman first brought the character of T’Challa, aka Black Panther, to life with unmatched charisma in Captain America: Civil War, leaving an indelible mark on audiences. In fact, most people find it difficult to imagine anyone else as the Black Panther, much like Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans with their respective roles in Iron Man and Captain America.
