Khary Payton is Voicing Black Panther in Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra
For Payton, playing Black Panther is a surreal moment. He recognizes the importance of playing Black Panther inMarvel 1943: Rise of Hydra. “As a black kid growing up in America, I mean, of course you think ‘I want to be Black Panther,'” he says. “And to be playing him in the video game, playing his grandfather, be playing a version of Black Panther, and looking on there and seeing that it’s me… It’s like the most photo realistic.”

It seems as though not everyone is trilled with Steve Rogers’ “off-brand” likeness to Chris Evans in the new Marvel 1943: Rise Of Hydra trailer.
Payton also recognizes Hennig’s strength as a developer and what this means forMarvel 1943: Rise of Hydra.
I still can’t believe that it’s happening. But it’s going to be so good. Amy Hennig, who did the ‘Uncharted’ series, was the director and writer of the series creator, she is just so amazing and I’m like, ‘Man, we couldn’t have asked for a better head of this project.’ So I know it’s taken a while, but trust me, it is going to be worth it.
