The first trailer for Black Panther has just dropped and it looks set to be a good 'un.

It tells the story of T'Challa, the king and defender of the mysterious African country of Wakanda, which is under threat from his rivals for power and arms dealers who would abuse the kingdom's advanced technology.

Set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the movie looks like it's gonna be an action-packed event to really look forward to.

The star-studded cast includes Chadwick Boseman, Michael B. Jordan, Lupita Nyong'o, Martin Freeman and Andy Serkis. Black Panther hits cinemas in February 2018.
