There is much buzz about Black Panther’s role in the forthcoming “Captain America: Civil War.” With the film’s shooting underway, fanboy journalist Umberto Gonzalez recently Instagrammed the possible story line of Black Panther.

“In #CaptainAmerica #CivilWar, the #BlackPanther is on the hunt for #TheWinterSoldier,” he wrote in his Instagram post. Though it is not known why Black Panther would be looking for the Winter Soldier, Cinema Blend quotes fans' speculation that it could be because the latter killed Black Panther’s father, King T’Chaka. It should be known that nothing has been confirmed officialy in regard to Black Panther’s story line.

For those who remember, in “Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” the Winter Soldier, aka Bucky Barnes, ran away. Barnes is a Steve Roger/Captain America best friend but he felt manipulated.

Chadwick Boseman is playing Black Panther and the actor has revealed he is quite excited about the role. “The great thing about it is that the actual character is unique in a lot of ways. I can’t think of another character that’s like the leader of a nation and is a superhero at the same time. There are a lot of different ways this story can go, ways that they can do it, so I’m really just excited about how it fits into the bigger picture of what Marvel is doing,” he told Variety.

Moreover, photos from the recent shooting location of the film gave a possible look at the Black Panther’s fictional nation, Wakhanda. In the shots leaked by Comic Book, an unkempt marketplace can be seen. The concrete structures seem to have tin roofs and clothes and debris scattered on them.

“Captain America: Civil War” is scheduled to be released May 6, 2016. Anthony Russo and Joe Russo are set to direct. The cast includes Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Paul Bettany, Jeremy Renner, Don Cheadle, Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Rudd.
