Australia doesn’t get a whole lot of firsts, but it appears that the new Marvel animated series, focusing on fan-favourite the Black Panther, will be making its debut this Saturday.

Set to debut on one of the new digital channels, ABC3, this Saturday evening at 8:15PM, The Black Panther Animated Series will bring to life one of Marvel’s most interesting characters. From the Marvel release;

Deep in the heart of Africa lies Wakanda, an advanced and unconquerable civilization. A family of warrior-kings possessing superior speed, strength and agility has governed this mysterious nation as long as time itself. The latest in this famed line is young King T’Challa, the great hero known worldwide as the Black Panther.

Marvel has also provided two blurbs from the upcoming first two episodes;

Episode 1: Jan 16 at 8.15pm on ABC3 in Australia
In a top-secret Washington meeting, Intelligence Agent Everett Ross briefs the government on the history of the Black Panther, the warrior king of the African nation of Wakanda. Meanwhile on the other side of the world, the Black Panther must compete to defend his throne in hand-to-hand combat.

Episode 2: Jan 16 at 8.42pm on ABC3 in Australia
Having been crowned the new Black Panther, T’Challa must contend with jealousy in the royal court while searching for the man who murdered his father. Unbeknownst to him, a deadly assassin named Klaw is assembling a team of super-villains to attack Wakanda.

The title character will be voiced by Djimon Hounsou, one of Hollywood’s best actors and probably best known for his role as Juba in the 2000 epic Gladiator. Joining him will be Kerry Washington as Princess Shuri, Jill Scott who will be portraying the voice of Ororo Munroe, better known as Storm from the X-Men who later becomes T’Challa’s wife, and another fan favourite, Carl Lumbly, best known for his role in Alias.

Release dates for anywhere else in the world are unknown.

Lupe Fiasco, singer John Legend, actor Kerry Washington, and several others are set to appear on a History Channel documentary called The People Speak, chronicling the history of the U.S.

The film will feature charter documents, letters, diaries and more, from such celebrities as Matt Damon, Josh Brolin, Don Cheadle, Michael Ealy, Bruce Springsteen, and Jasmine Guy, among others.

The upcoming documentary, set to premiere Dec. 13th at 8 p.m. EST, was inspired by and based on co-executive producer Howard Zinn’s books, A People’s History of the United States, which has sold more than two million copies, and, with co-executive producer, Anthony Arnove, Voices of a People’s History of the United States.

Voices of a People’s History of the United States seeks to bring to light little known voices from U.S. history, including those of women, African Americans, Native Americans, immigrants, and laborers.

The goal of the film is to encourage civic engagement and further history education by bringing the rich history of the United States to life through public readings of primary-source materials.
