Djimon Hounsou is the voice of the Marvel Comics super hero, The Black Panther, an animated series which is slated to premiere in 2009. The series will be adapted directly from the first six issues of the Marvel Comic (issues #1 - #6, “Who Is The Black Panther”).
The movie is the result of a partnership between BET and Marvel Animation. It’s a good thing for people to have a Super Hero they can identify with. The Black Panther is a powerful force for good, and he is also a respected world leader who takes pride in his heritage. He embodies the past and future of his culture, demonstrating the endless possibilities of Black people that are truly free.
The Black Panther was a superhero who first appeared in Marvel's Fantastic Four Vol. 1, #52 in 1966. He was the first prominent Black superhero in comic history and the first to get his own comic book. The title "Black Panther" is a rank of chieftain of the Wakandan Panther Clan. As chieftain, the Panther is entitled to eat a special heart-shaped herb, as well as his mystical connection with the Wakandan Panther god, that grants him superhumanly senses (especially eyesight, night vision, and sense of smell) and increases his strength, speed, stamina, and agility. He is a genius in physics and advanced technology, and is a brilliant inventor. His senses are so powerful that he can pick up a prey's scent and memorize tens of thousands of individual ones.
I am not into comic book heroes, but maybe this will change my mind.
