T’Challa, Nakia & Okoye stand tall in Black Panther D23 poster

Last Updated on July 31, 2021

Even though D23 is over that doesn’t mean the Marvel goodies aren’t going to keep flowing. Right before the big battle between Thanos and the Avengers, BLACK PANTHER will have his own solo adventure with his own squad of badasses. Among those warriors are Nakia (Lupita Nyong’o) and Okoye (Danai Gurira), and both are present with Panther (Chadwick Boseman) in this new piece of concept art that made the rounds at this weekend’s convention.

Painted by Ryan Meinerding, the concept art shows all three standing tall and proud with the picturesque African landscape in the background. Take a look and feel the mightiness surge through you!

If you think it’s as cool as I do you can go to Meinerding’s Twitter page for a chance to win the epic piece of art for yourself, and you can also enter for a chance to win his other work from D23 — the poster of Thanos looking super angry. Maybe the gauntlet is too tight.

As for the warriors of Wakanda, these people may not have a thunder hammer or the ability to conjure magic force fields, but they are definitely going to kick some serious ass with their bare hands come February. The warrior women T'Challa surrounds himself with look fierce as hell, and they could easily steal the show away from our main hero with their own brand of baddie-bashing. We have THOR 3 to get through before we see the Black Panther back in action, and what an arduous wait that will be.

BLACK PANTHER arrives February 16, 2018.
