Chadwick Boseman is joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Black Panther, appearing for the first time in Captain America: Civil War in 2016, but we don't know much about this character. The movie will show Steve Rodgers (Chris Evans) going head-to-head with Iron Man/Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), with both characters forming "teams" - hence the title. Though we spotted Boseman's character in the first trailer for the movie, we don't know what side he's on. Thanks to a feature story on Marvel in Entertainment Weekly, new details and spoilers concerning Black Panther have been revealed this week.

"He's someone who hasn't necessarily made up his mind about either side and whose agenda isn't exactly what Cap's agenda or what Tony's agenda is," Executive Producer Nate Moore told EW in this new story (via Superhero Hype). "And I think that brings him into conflict weirdly with both characters at different times in the film. He is the prince of an African nation that has so far stayed very much sort of in the shadows. And eventually the film will draw him and his father out of the shadows."

It's no wonder Black Panther isn't ready to join a side in this new film because, according to Boseman, he's a bit mysterious and isn't ready to trust these characters.

"He's definitely not the life of the party in this instance," Boseman told the magazine. "I think this is something true of the comic book character and the movie. You never quite know where he stands. There's always a bit of concealing and mystery. So I think mysterious is more his boat. Not to say there's not charm and he can't be a ladies' man and all that. It's more like if there is humor, it's more like James Bond."
