    The most surprising thing about the first teaser for Marvel's Black Panther is, on first viewing, how closely it hews to Warner Bros' Wonder Woman, rather than any previous Marvel Studios production.

    It's not merely the fact that, like Wonder Woman, it serves an audience traditionally ignored by the white, male superhero movie genre, nor the fact that — again, like Wonder Woman — it looks more colorful than its studio brethren, or at least colorful in a different, warmer manner. Yes, Guardians of the Galaxy is a colorful movie, but garishly so; the same can be said of Warners' Suicide Squad; both Wonder Woman and, judging by this trailer, Black Panther, place the homes of their titular characters in brighter, more glorious locales than the muted tones that audiences are used to.

    But the way in which Ulysses Klaue (Andy Serkis, rocking a wonderful accent once again) introduces Wakanda catches the attention. A place of wonder, hidden from the rest of the world, where few can visit and fewer leave…? Surely that describes Wonder Woman's Themyscira, as much as the African nation of Wakanda — at least, the Wakanda that comic book audiences might be used to. (The Wakanda of comics might be withdrawn from the rest of the world, but it's hardly the El Dorado that Klaue describes in this trailer.)
