The latest trailer for Black Panther just dropped during the college football national championship, and it’s filled with non-stop action.

Chadwick Boseman reprises the titular role he originated in Captain America: Civil War. In addition to appearing in the upcoming standalone film, his character will also appear in this summer’s Avengers: Infinity War.

The special look featured both previously seen footage as well as some new scenes.

“The Black Panther lives,” declares Okoye (The Walking Dead’s Danai Gurira), as the King of Wakanda steps off his futuristic jet.

“I hope you’re ready bro,” taunts archenemy Killmonger (Michael B. Jordan), “because I’m just getting started.” He later draws his daggers, declaring, “I want your weapons, your secrets, it’s all mine know.” Klaue (Andy Serkis), also proves to be a formidable foe, armed with a powerful arm cannon.

But the hero also has allies, including his brilliant scientist sister Shuri (Letitia Wright).

The trailer drop followed a halftime performance by hip-hop artist Kendrick Lamar. Lamar performs the lead single on the film’s soundtrack and curated the other songs.

“Black Panther is amazing, from its cast to its director,” Lamar said in an interview prior to the game. “The magnitude of this film showcases a great marriage of art and culture. I’m truly honored to contribute my knowledge of producing sound and writing music alongside Ryan [Coogler] and Marvel’s vision.”

Black Panther roars into theaters on February 16, 2018.
