Neeraj Chopra in Black Panther Wakanda Forever: India's Olympic gold-medalist javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra is all set to feature in Marvel Cinematic Universe's (MCU) latest flick 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever', set to hit the big screen worldwide on November 11. The much-awaited Marvel movie, directed by Ryan Coogler, will be an emotional tribute to late actor Chadwick Boseman, who passed away in August 2020 after a private battle with cancer.
Neeraj Chopra, the renowned Indian athlete, has been roped in by Marvel India as a brand ambassador. The 24-year-old, on Friday, took to Twitter to share a 46-second promotional video in which he can be seen throwing a javelin in the air, indicating that he is all set for the mega battle war to reclaim Wakanda.
Neeraj captioned the post, "Khel ho ya jung, jitega wohi jiska nishana kabhi chukey nahi. Kabhi desh ke liye.. kabhi khud ke liye.. iss baar javelin utha raha hu Black Panther ke liye. November 11. Don't miss the action. #WakandaForever @Marvel_India". It translates to, "Whether it is a game or a war, the one who never misses the target will win. Sometimes for the country..sometimes for myself..this time I'm raising javelin for Black Panther."
“Black Panther is about a fierce warrior, a hero who is willing to give everything to fight for his people and his country. As an athlete, representing India is my biggest opportunity and I give my best shot and fight till the end,” Neeraj Chopra exclusively told news agency IANS.
"I'm truly ecstatic that I can be a part of this journey, and just like Black Panther, I hope to inspire people around the globe to never give up on their dreams. Being a huge Marvel fan, I can't wait to watch the film and discover the new journey of Wakanda," added Chopra in his statement.
