Correction..............that's African-American society for you.

eh i prefer to use black american over african american

Fair enough. Anyway I thought you meant black society all over the world generally lol.

I think this is decent casting but i would prefer the cat who played LT. Daniels in the wire. That guy would be a perfect black Panther. He is a great actor, he is tall and ripped like a black greek god.

...umm whats wrong with wanting to be able to indentify with your heroes, for your information the black panther ocmic series actually does cover severral issues the black american can identify with as well as africans.

lol i know that i love black panther. but i doubt thats why BET shows it they like alot of the black americans that like the character(and dont really read the comics) just are like wow hes a balck superhero i like him more then the white ones now. same thing with john stewert i hear way too much hes better since he's balck over actual thigns about him

When the Black Panther leaps onto screens everywhere in the 2009 BET-airing animated series, the super hero protector and King of Wakanda will truly make his presence known, thanks to the vocal talents of Academy Award-nominated actor Djimon Hounsou. Based directly on the BLACK PANTHER story "Who is the Black Panther?" by Reginald Hudlin and John Romita, Jr., the series recounts the origin of the iconic hero, while updating the character and his world for a new generation.

A two-time Oscar nominee for "In America" and "Blood Diamond," Hounsou has also been honored with the NAACP Image Award, National Board of Review Award, Screen Actors Guild Award, Independent Spirit Award and the 2004 ShoWest Supporting Actor of the Year.

"It's a blessing for African Americans and minorities to have a super hero they can identify with," says Hounsou. "While the Black Panther is a powerful force for good, he is also a respected world leader who takes pride in his African heritage. He embodies the past and future of his culture, demonstrating the endless possibilities of an Africa that is truly free."

"BET is thrilled to have Djimon Hounsou join us as the voice of THE BLACK PANTHER," says Denys Cowan, Senior Vice President, Animation for BET Networks. "He is a talented, compelling actor who will be the perfect voice for such an important super hero in the Marvel universe and such a moment in this historic environment."

"Having Djimon Hounsou voice the lead character in this new series speaks to the power of the character and the relationship between BET and Marvel Animation," said Eric Rollman, President of Marvel Animation. "The Black Panther animated series is Marvel's entrée into prime-time animation and Djimon raises the bar for all involved as we bring the best in the animation business together to execute on that vision."

I hope he plays the Black Panther in a live action role.

Ah, so because he's black, black kids can identify with him? What the ****? He's the warrior, super-hero king of a fictional African country! I can't identify with Thor or something, just because I'm white...

Hey man don't roar at me over it I didn't say it I just quoted it. Although when Super Heros were being created way back when there weren't any leading black Super Heros. So in a way I can see what Hounsou is talking about.

anyway, arnold Schwarzenegger said in his book that serge was genetically gifted for bodybuilding, and that he (arnie) himself wasn't.
that's the bases for panther.
