    The 'Creed' director said he watched a lot of movies based on Ian Fleming's iconic spy character while making the film.

    "When I first started talking to Marvel, one thing they were interested in was for Panther to be their version of James Bond, which I thought was incredibly interesting and exciting," Coogler said.

    "It was a really outside-of-the-box way to look at T'Challa. There are some Bond films that I really, really like, and it gave me the opportunity to go watch some other ones," he added.

    'Black Panther' stars Chadwick Boseman in the titular role and also feature actors Michael B Jordan, Lupita Nyong'o, Andy Serkis and others.
