Inside Wesley Snipes' Lost Version of Black Panther

Long before Chadwick Boseman, Marvel nearly made a Black Panther movie in the 90s starring Wesley Snipes. From John Singleton’s version that scrapped Wakanda, to wild plans for Kraven the Hunter, Patriot, and even a Fantastic Four crossover, the character’s path to the MCU was anything but simple. This video dives into every abandoned script, casting rumor, and original plan that led to the Black Panther film we finally got.
