Mumbai: Olympic champion Neeraj Chopra is featured in the upcoming Marvel film Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’s promotional teaser. He has joined the fight for Wakanda to unleash the true essence of being a warrior and fighting for one’s country. Embodying the very spirit of the celebrated Wakandan superhero, Neeraj Chopra’s journey from his humble beginnings to achieving the coveted Olympic gold has truly been inspiring and nothing short of extraordinary!
The promotional video shows Neeraj Chopra dropping from a high-tech portal opening in the roof, landing on his feet and clenching his javelin tight. He then picks up the pace, gathering momentum to throw the javelin. When he does aim it, the javelin flies, transitioning into a spear and piercing the surface of a road. From here, the video seamlessly connects to the hair-raising trailer of Wakanda Forever. A background voice can be heard saying “dikha denge unhe ke hum kaun hai” in the promo.
Speaking on how Black Panther has been inspirational for him to associate with, Neeraj Chopra said, “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 our biggest opportunity, and we give our best shot and fight till the end. I’m truly overjoyed 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 just cannot wait to watch the film and discover the new journey of Wakanda!”
