"Disc extras include never-before-seen commentary from director Ryan Coogler; deleted scenes; outtakes; and several making-of featurettes,
which detail the Black Panther’s evolution, the remarkable women of Wakanda, the history of T’Challa’s proud nation, and the cosmic origin and technological applications of vibranium."

Black Goliath #1 Feb 1976
Origin of Black Goliath in "Black Goliath."
Bill Foster establishes himself in Los Angeles, leading a research team for Stark Industries;


Guest appearance by Hank and Janet Pym.

AWESOME that the MCU Bill Foster will make his debut in the MCU come July 6 2018 Ant-Man and the Wasp

kind of wish they'd do a flashback so we could see Foster in his prime. did he work with Pym after the latter left SHIELD?

Same. Always happy to see the MCU pre-Iron Man reveal fleshed out given Nick Fury's line that he isn't the only superhero. Stuff like Captain Marvel, Johnny Blaze - Ghost Rider, Hank Pym, and Janet van Dyne confirmed to have been active.

I'd like to give spotlight Dwight 'Barrett' of the Old Man Logan/Hawkeye-verse. he's probably my favorite could-have-been-Ant-Man character. I hope that he grows into something.

Hopefully Fishburne gets to show up in a future movie and not die off right away.

I'd like to see more original characters. No more Black Goliaths, or Spider Men, Novas, or Captain Americas.
