A new extended clip of "Black Panther" is shown. It's gonna be exclusive, at least for a while. But read on for a description.Â
According to CNET's Roger Cheng, who watched the footage: "There was just so much all at once. It was amazing, but overwhelming."Â
Talking about footage shown only at the con: "We saw Ulysses Klaue's robot arm. Black Panther goes from regular clothes to his costume with a push of a button. It just sorta morphs on to him. ... It starts with an extended scene at a casino with Black Panther and two guards breaking up a deal between Martin Freeman [Everett K. Ross in "Civil War"] and Klaue. At one point, he's riding a purple sports car that's remotely driven by his sister as he's chasing Klaue ... Klaue's robot arm opens up and fires some sort of energy weapon."Â
"Black Panther" will be released on February 16, 2018.
