The film is being co-written by Coogler and Joe Robert Cole, a black writer who wrote a few episodes for FX’s recent and popular The People v. O.J. Simpson (and who came out of that Marvel writers’ program years ago). And it’s shooting in places where black people live. “We’ll do our stage work in Atlanta,” Moore said. “And we’re definitely investigating shooting in Africa … both Marvel and Ryan feel that would be really good for the movie. We just haven’t drilled down on it yet.” Also: The expected release date for the Black Panther film is 2018, in the thick of Black History Month.
Producer: We might shoot ‘Black Panther’ in Africa

Isn’t that where Wakanda is located in the comics? If so I think it would be really cool to shoot there.

A Disney financial executive later clarified, “by ‘Africa’ we mean, ‘the Jungle Cruise ride at Disneyland.’”
