2017’s roster of Marvel films is definitely packed to the gills with adventure and intrigue. With Spiderman: Homecoming, Thor: Ragnarok, and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 on the way, fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe definitely have enough content to keep them entertained until 2018. Black Panther in particular- one of the films set for next year’s release- has definitely been the subject of interest, though with the recent announcement that Angela Basset joined the cast of the much-anticipated film, fans thought that it would be awhile before new updates were revealed on the film’s production.

Luckily, that doesn’t seem to be the case, as it has been revealed that the film’s official production has begun. Reported in by Just Jared, Chadwick Boseman will definitely be reprising his role as the hero, alongside some awe-inspiring talent from Hollywood. Another confirmation we received is that fan suspicions have been correct, and another familiar face from Civil War will also be a part of this stand-alone production.

It looks like Martin Freeman is officially going to be in Marvel’s upcoming Black Panther movie! The 45-year-old actor was spotted on the set of the upcoming standalone movie on Saturday (January 21) in Atlanta, Ga. Also spotted on set were Chadwick Boseman, Danai Gurira, and Lupita Nyong’o. They were reportedly filming a UN meeting scene on the rainy day.

This is definitely an exciting day for fans, as the reveal of these new set photos only means we’re that much closer to the release of this film. You can see a few of the set photos below:

There is also rumor that Sebastian Stan will reprise his role as Bucky Barnes in the film, considering the last we saw of the character, he was being put back into cryo in T’Challa’s homeland of Wakanda. However, there has been no confirmation to this claim as of yet, nor have there been any set photos to reveal that bit of information. Whether or not the Winter Soldier will be in the upcoming film remains to be seen, what we do know so far of the plot has us plenty excited for next February.

So what do you think of these set photos? Are you excited to see these phenomenal actors involved in the film’s plot? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!
