BET Networks and Marvel Animation have announced that a new animated TV series, based on the Marvel Comics' character THE BLACK PANTHER will be voiced by Oscar-nominated actor Djimon Hounsou.

The animated series is slated to premiere in 2009, adapted directly from the first six issues of the Marvel Comic written by Reginald Hudlin (issues #1 - #6, "Who Is The Black Panther").

"BET is thrilled to have Djimon Hounsou join us as the voice of THE BLACK PANTHER," said 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 partnership between BET and Marvel Animation," said Eric Rollman, President of Marvel Animation.

"The Black Panther animated series is Marvel's entree 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."

"It's a blessing for African Americans and minorities to have a Super Hero they can identify with," said 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...."

Joe "The Wolfman" Johnston will direct “First Avenger: Captain America” for Marvel Studios, with Marvel's Kevin Feige producing.

"This is a guy who designed the vehicles for 'Star Wars' and storyboarded the convoy action sequence for 'Raiders of the Lost Ark,' " Feige said about Johnston.

"From 'Rocketeer' to 'October Sky' to 'The Wolf Man,' you can look at pieces of his movies and see how they lead to this one."

'Captain America' is the alter ego of 'Steve Rogers', who is rejected by the Army for being too sickly and then undergoes an experiment that takes him to the pinnacle of human form.

The character was created in 1941 but then disappeared in the 1950s. He was revived during the early Marvel era and reintroduced as part of the "Avengers".

"Captain America", scheduled for release May 6, 2011, will be set during World War II...
