With just weeks to go until Black Panther hits theaters, Marvel Studios has started pulling back the curtain on the highly anticipated release. Along with a plethora of new details, a must-see batch of concept art has surfaced alongside some images and behind the scenes photos. These take us deep into the world of Wakanda and show designs for a number of different locations and characters.

Comic book artist Adi Granov also makes an unexpected return here as we learn that the man who helped come up with Iron Man's appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe has done the same for T'Challa! It makes sense considering the fact the hero will be wearing a technologically advanced suit.

So, to view all of these new images, all you have to do is click on either one of the buttons below to check out the list in its entirety. Are you excited for Black Panther? What do you guys think of this concept art? As always, be sure to share your thoughts with us in the comments section down below.

This beautiful shot of T'Challa was illustrated by Adi Granov, the comic book artist who played a key role in coming up with Iron Man's appearance in his movies. He certainly hasn't lost his touch!

This amazing shot of the Dora Milaje shows the work which went into bringing these kick-ass women to the big screen for Black Panther and they're wielding some pretty awesome weaponry.

And here's a live-action shot of the Dora Milaje! They look like a truly formidable group of warriors and seeing as Thanos is going to attack Wakanda in Avengers: Infinity War, they'll need to be.

T'Challa is pictured here in his Palace gear and he looks every bit a king! Looking at this shot, it's hard to imagine anyone other than Chadwick Boseman playing this character in the MCU.

More of Adi Granov's work, this shows the work which went into creating T'Challa's mask and changing it so that we can now see his eyes (that obviously wasn't the case in Captain America: Civil War).

The Wakandan throne room, it's clear looking at this that Wakanda is going to be every bit as alien to us as Asgard was when we first visited that magical realm all the way back in 2011's Thor.

This awesome still gives us a great look at T'Challa's costume in the movie and the trailers have confirmed that the hero will actually go through a few different costumes in the anticipated release.

A new behind the scenes image from Black Panther, director Ryan Coogler can be seen here hard at work on the movie...the question is, who is that just chilling out on T'Challa's throne.

Welcome to Wakanda! The futuristic city certainly looks different to anything else we've seen in the MCU thus far and it's an interesting mixture of science fiction and typical African imagery.

We're used to seeing Danai Gurira kicking ass as Michonne in The Walking Dead but it appears as if she'll be playing an even bigger badass in this movie when she takes on the role of Okoye.

Forest Whitaker joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe is a very big deal indeed and with pretty much no sign of him in the trailers, it will be very interesting seeing what sort of a role he has here.

Shuri's laboratory in the movie, there's no sign of Bucky anywhere but he's presumably going to at least be referenced here before being woken up in a mid-credits scene of Avengers: Infinity War.

What an amazing set! Marvel has come up with some fantastic ones over the years (the Helicarrier, for example) but this looks incredibly detailed and will be busted up when T'Challa battles Klaue.

What an awesome cast! Chadwick Boseman (T'Challa) is flanked here by Letitia Wright (Shuri), and Lupita Nyong'o (Nakia). It's hard to say what's going on but they look surprised to see someone!

Another awesome take on the throne room, T'Challa is clearly meeting with some of his closest advisors here as he ponders who best to run the nation he's now found himself in charge of.

Ramonda is T'Challa's mother and she's presumably wearing black here because she's still mourning the death of her husband T'Chaka after he was assassinated in Captain America: Civil War.

An alternate take on Shuri, it's interesting seeing how the Black Panther has been incorporated into her clothing. The question is, will we end up seeing her don a costume of her own at some point?

The casino scene looks set to be a major centrepiece in Black Panther involving many of the movie's main characters. What role Nakia plays in proceedings obviously remains to be seen.

T'Challa is on the run here and this is presumably moments before he transforms into the Black Panther for the very cool chase sequence we've seen in the trailers and that recently released clip.

Nakia will serve as a love interest for T'Challa but not a lot has been revealed about the character yet. Lupita Nyong'o was wasted in Star Wars: The Last Jedi, so hopefully that doesn't happen again.

@smgmayhem - and yet the star is still on his costume and the stripes... yet very dull and dark.

JonC - 1/24/2018, 1:57 PM

@JonC - and the author of that article says steve removed the star.. which he clearly has not

smgmayhem - 1/24/2018, 2:02 PM

@JonC - The physical silver star on his chest is no longer there.

@KevinFeige - Kevin, if you ever read this (and you won't), how about publishing a MCU Artbook full of concept art? One per phase, maybe? I mean, I'm fairly sure you have a ton of material and a few publishing companies close by…

I'd like to see all the concept costumes, planets and landscapes for Ragnarok and Guardians, 50 different Iron Man and War Machine armors, the microverse, helicarriers and World War II scenes and landscapes in Wakanda. With commentaries explaining why this wasn't used, and what was the inspiration behind that, and so on.
