Nu Metro\u2019s \u201cBLACK PANTHER in 4DX\u201d Experience\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Nu Metro joined cinemas across the continent this past week, as Marvel Studios celebrated BLACK PANTHER<\/a>\u2019s record-breaking box office success in Africa. This new superhero blockbuster started showing in Nu Metro\u2019s cinemas this past Friday, including their multi-sensory 4DX theatres – exclusive to select Nu Metro cineplexes nationwide.<\/p>\n

Most shows for BLACK PANTHER in 4DX have been reaching sold-out status since the film released over the weekend \u2013 further affirming its position as South Africa\u2019s highest-grossing movie at the moment.<\/p>\n

The experience of watching Marvel\u2019s new superhero blockbuster in 4DX includes realistic simulations of the dynamic car chase-, flying action- and other adrenalin-fuelled scenes in the movie. One of the most popular 4DX seat motions – the feeling of joining a \u2018car chase\u2019 onscreen – is applied with spectacular effect for BLACK PANTHER, resulting in one of the best multi-sensory experiences in 4DX history.<\/p>\n

One key difference from a general car chase-simulation is that 4DX deploys innovative new technology, following a more natural pattern that would occur in an actual situation \u2013 giving the viewers the sense of driving the car themselves.<\/p>\n

Other 4DX effects give viewers the feeling that they are flying in a real spacecraft. Black Panther\u2019s combat skills based on various martial arts and animal imitation – as well as his bulletproof suit, claws that can cut all metal, multi-function lenses, special boots and stealth cape – are all conveyed in 4DX through various environmental effects to make moviegoers a part of the Black Panther-action in Wakanda.<\/p>\n

Marvel Studios\u2019 BLACK PANTHER is the first ever solo outing on the big screen for this revered superhero, after the character was first introduced in Marvel\u2019s CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR. It is based on the popular comic book; and stars Chadwick Boseman in the title role; along with Michael B. Jordan, Africa\u2019s acclaimed acting export Lupita Nyong’o, Danai Gurira, Martin Freeman, Daniel Kaluuya, Letitia Wright, Winston Duke, Angela Bassett, Forest Whitaker, and Andy Serkis, as well as various local and Pan-African acting talent.<\/p>\n

\"\"Iconic South African actor John Kani returns to star as King T’Chaka in BLACK PANTHER (after he also made a brief appearance in CIVIL WAR), the king of the fictional nation of Wakanda and the father of T’Challa. isiXhosa and other African languages can be heard throughout this new release from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with Andy Serkis sporting an Afrikaans accent for his role.<\/p>\n

Other South African actors joining the international cast are Atandwa Kani (John Kani\u2019s son), who takes on the role of a younger T’Chaka in flashbacks throughout the film; as well as Connie Chiume. She plays the role of a Mining Tribe Elder and got the role after auditioning for it right here in SA, beating out all the men who auditioned (as she was the only woman vying for the part).<\/p>\n

Marvel Studios’ BLACK PANTHER follows T’Challa who, after the death of his father, the King of Wakanda, returns home to the isolated, technologically advanced African nation to succeed to the throne and take his rightful place as king. But when a powerful old enemy reappears, T’Challa’s mettle as king\u2014and Black Panther\u2014is tested when he is drawn into a formidable conflict that puts the fate of Wakanda and the entire world at risk. Faced with treachery and danger, the young king must rally his allies and release the full power of Black Panther to defeat his foes and secure the safety of his people and their way of life.<\/p>\n

BLACK PANTHER is now showing at all Nu Metro cineplexes nationwide – including 4DX, Xtreme, VIP and 3D cinema formats.<\/p>\n
