At the Square Enix showcase in March, Marvel fans witnessed the brief trailer that included the voice of the leader of A.I.M. talking with Black Panther villain Klaw. Although the introduction of Black Panther has always been on the cards for Marvel, the tragic death of actor Chadwick Boseman, who portrayed the character in the MCU’s Black Panther film, died in August last year and as a mark of respect, Crystal Dynamics pushed back the expansion.

Today, we got to see a more in-depth trailer for Marvel’s Avengers Black Panther DLC than the last one and now we have August to look forward to.

Marvel’s Avengers hasn’t received the best feedback since its launch last August but here’s hoping that the introduction of the Black Panther will add more much-needed flavour to the soured pot.
