Meanwhile, the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) version of Black Panther appeared as a downloadable playable character in Lego Marvel’s Avengers, as part of the “Civil War” pack. A DLC pack based on Classic Black Panther was also made available later on.
He also appears as a downloadable playable character in Marvel’s Avengers, voiced and motion-captured by Christopher Judge. In a show of respect for the late Chadwick Boseman, who played the role of Black Panther in the MCU and died on August 28, 2020, Square Enix postponed and changed the trailer reveal schedule to a date after the game’s release.
