Chadwick Boseman working out for his upcoming role as Black Panther

Last month Marvel Studios announced the roster for some upcoming features. In addition to Ant-Man and a female-led Captain Marvel film, Marvel's Kevin Feige confirmed that on November 3, 2017, the studio planned to release one of its longest-rumored projects: The Black Panther.

Chadwick Boseman, set to play T'Challa in Marvel's upcoming Captain America: Civil War and Black Panther, told an interviewer on the red carpet at the Hollywood Film Awards that he's already started working out for the role. "I'll be in Captain America 3, so we're preparing for that right now, and also beginning the workout for that," Boseman said. When the interviewer joked that "it never hurts to be a superhero!" Chadwick quipped back and said, "It could hurt. That could be part of the story that it hurts to be a superhero."
