Nate Moore has achieved a “marvel” feat of his own: Going from reading comics as a kid to landing as executive producer alongside Marvel mastermind Stan Lee himself for the iconic brand’s latest global smash, Captain America: Civil War.
To say that’s worlds away for a kid who grew up with a single mother, two sisters, an older brother and a love for the movies in Clovis, Calif., a mid-sized town over three hours from Los Angeles, is far from cliché. An internship with Columbia Pictures led to Moore’s first industry job as an assistant, as well as his first brush with Marvel working on Spider-Man. A little over six years ago, he officially joined the universe and has helped spread the Marvel magic to a new generation on the big screen.
The Root caught up with Moore in Atlanta and talked about his rise at Marvel and, of course, lots of Black Panther.
The Root: When you first joined Marvel, what did you do?
Nate Moore: I worked on the Marvel Writers Program. So the idea with the Writers Program was to develop all of the characters that weren’t currently on the slate. At the time they were in pre-production on Captain America I [The First Avenger] and Thor, but characters like Black Panther, Dr. Strange, Iron Fist, and Guardians of the Galaxy were in the Writers Program so I was trying to figure out ways to get those scripts into shape so that they could be made into movies.
While I was in there, I was able, with Nicole Perlman [first woman to write a Marvel film], to get Guardians of the Galaxy up to the point where we were going to make the movie, which was great, but we also needed to make Captain America 2 [The Winter Soldier] so [the producer] said, ‘Hey I know you helped to make Guardians, so will you help me with Captain America 2?’ and of course I said, ‘Yeah,’ because I’m not crazy. And so that’s how I ended up on Captain America 2 [The Winter Soldier]. Markus McFeely crafted that story, introduced the Falcon and hired Joe and Anthony Russo and that film did really well so they kept the team together for Captain America 3 and I sort of was promoted from co-producer to executive producer.
TR: Since you’ve been there, Marvel’s universe has gotten really diverse. We’ve seen Don Cheadle in Iron Man, Anthony Mackie in Captain America, Zoe Saldana in Guardians of the Galaxy and now Chadwick Boseman starring in Black Panther. Is this a coincidence?
Chadwick Boseman portrays Black Panther.
NM: I think it is a reflection of the characters [already in the comic books]. Like, for me, Captain America and the Falcon were always together so when I started Captain America: Winter Soldier, the first thing I talked to Markus McFeely about was how do we bring the Falcon into the universe because that’s a character that resonates with me. For Civil War, when we were looking for the character who could stand next to Captain America and Iron Man and feel like an equal, the first character I thought of was Black Panther because, again, for me, that was the character as a kid that I responded to. So yeah, I think it’s sort of a reflection of what I liked as a kid, and I liked black superheroes because they were a reflection of my experience.
TR: Let’s talk Black Panther.
NM: I think [Civil War] does a great job introducing the character and making him somebody you’re immediately interested in and want to know more about. The Black Panther standalone movie now gets to explore the world of Wakanda, the most technologically advanced nation in the heart of Africa, which is amazing. It’s really compelling and Black Panther has a great cast of characters around him that’s really interesting.
So it gets to be a movie that is going to be a predominantly black cast, whether it’s African American or African, on sort of the scale that you don’t get to see all the time. For us, it’s Mission Impossible; it is a globe-trotting, action-adventure movie, but with really interesting casting. Ryan Coogler, who is directing it, is super talented and I think sees this film as an opportunity not only to really entertain, but also to tackle some really interesting issues.
TR: Why is Ryan Coogler the right director?
NM: I think he’s going to tell a really great story. Just his approach to Wakanda I think is really compelling. It is both faithful to what happens in the comic, but also contemporary in a way that comics sometimes aren’t. His ideas for casting are really cool. His ideas for action are really cool. We are officially in pre-production [in May] so it’s happening and it’s really exciting and he’s co-writing it with a writer named Joe Robert Cole.
TR: Isn’t he black and didn’t he write and co-produce on The People v. O.J. Simpson?
NM: Yeah. I think he ended up writing three episodes for that show and he came out of our Marvel Writers Program. He’s super talented as well. It’s interesting because he spent a lot of time in the Bay [Area] so they have some interesting shared history and I think together they are coming up with some really cool ideas.
TR: So what makes Chadwick Boseman, whom we know as Jackie Robinson from 42 and James Brown in Get on Up, Black Panther?
NM: There’s such a gravitas to his performance. Even on set I think the other actors were sort of surprised because Marvel films, when we’re filming, are actually really fun and everyone’s kind of playful. Chadwick is very serious and sort of has this bearing that forces you to pay attention and also kind of forces you to not joke around so much because he’s so good, even in stillness. Like even when he’s not saying anything everybody just sort of can’t help but look at him. So, in the film, I think you really feel that. You feel that everyone else goes, ‘Oh I have to take that guy seriously.’ And he moves on the screen in a way that’s really amazing.
When we cast him, the truth is we had only really seen 42. I always remember the scene in the tunnel where he loses it and he can only do it in private and we were like that kind of strength is something we want this character to have. And he’s also a chameleon because, when you look at all those movies, he’s so different. Jackie Robinson is so different from his James Brown and I think will be much different I’m sure than his Thurgood Marshall.
TR: How have audiences responded to Black Panther so far?
NM: Now that the film is out, the response to Panther is so strong because we took the time to do it right ... Now we can just tell a really good story for Black Panther and they’re going to come to that too.
Captain America: Civil War is in theatres now. Black Panther is slated for a 2018 release.

They were mad cozy when Pete walked in. lolthat weird feeling you get when you realize Stark already hit dat 5 years before you were born.
Yea...
Basically.....
lol
I stop being a "theater person" once i got my system set up in my crib. My girl is the one who wants to go to the movies.....and Civil War is the only movie that she hasnt seen thats getting good reviews. So thats what we're gonna go see.
As for X Men, thats the only comic book based movie that I could ever fuck with. That franchise got the most money from me. Some havent been as good as others. ...but i dont care. Im not a comic book nerd, so im not looking into the shit deeply anyways.....worrying about costumes and shit. I just like some of the characters powers.
I was never into bald chicks but now I think I might...lol
Saw it last night. I thought it was great, will surely watch again. But I think I still like Winter Soldier a little better. After a second viewing, I'll know for sure. Every character had a great moment. Falcon was better than previously shown. War Machine as well. It's like they weren't reduced to sidekick roles. Spiderman was funny, his jokes flowed.
So it makes me think, Ross is still looking for Winter Soldier. So does that mean it will be BP v. Red Hulk in the BP movie? If not, who will be the villain? Can't be Doom.
It sucks that BP won't get to interact with the people he's probably most famous for being with, Fantastic Four and Storm.

but i think it was maybe the role he was playing...he was like more in character all the time cuz the BP is no shucking N jiving...
anyway good read...glad to hear the co-writer is black also...they better do it justice..smh..
now where the Blade reboot...?

White wolf or His other brother????
we both missed...181...
i think it needed to do more on fri...that 75 killed all chance to do 200...
still great tho...it`s gonna hold strong till memorial & b in the billion dollar club by then....
I have to say that I thought Chiejwtal Ejierfor would be a good Black Panther but I think marvel did the right thing in getting Chadwick Boseman - He is almost 40 but he is in incredible shape and showed a level of natural athleticism in movies like 42 and get on Up as well as great acting chops, so I say Bravo to MARVEL for getting the right Black Panther and for respecting the character that so many of us have cherished over the years.
Almost 700 mill already......it's going to hit a billion soon and probably top out at 1.5. I wonder if marvel is losing some momentum being that this film landed under ULTRON.
Same here. I thought Chiejwtal would have been perfect for the role, but Marvel did very well with Chadwick. Plus, we still get to see Chiejwtal in Doctor Strange.
Question for my comic savvy folks: In the opening scene, Maria Stark said to Tony "this will be the last time we're together" or something to that effect. Did they have a clue that something bad was about to happen? Educate me.
looked at dudes IMBD...he hasnt done a lot of movies to b 39....bravo for him to keep grinding & waiting for his break...
i wonder how he feels about the stink fest that was God`s of Egypt ? .. & wasnt the god he played kinda gay...
No that was a therapy holoprogram that Tony created it was based on his memory of that day.
right, they were programed to freestyle, do the right thing to counterbalance the pain from the real memories they were drawn from.
yall niggas are getting deep LOL..good shit though.
Word of mouth is going to keep number strong, I need to go see it again myself
Black Panther is gonna be a predominantly black cast blockbuster.
looked at dudes IMBD...he hasnt done a lot of movies to b 39....bravo for him to keep grinding & waiting for his break...
i wonder how he feels about the stink fest that was God`s of Egypt ? .. & wasnt the god he played kinda gay...
man DC is gonna be crying in the car:
'Captain America: Civil War' Opens with $181.8 Million; Global Cume Climbs Over $675M
by Brad Brevet

Captain America: Civil War scorched the weekend box office, bringing in the fifth largest opening weekend of all-time. The massive debut contributed to Disney bringing in over $200 million this weekend as the studio became the fastest to cross the $1 billion mark in domestic earnings in just 128 days, decimating the 165 day record set by Universal just last year. And while Disney was setting records, the weekend also saw a stellar comeback for Open Road's Mother's Day as it took advantage of its holiday namesake.
With an estimated $181.79 million opening weekend, Civil War not only scored the fifth largest opening of all-time, it is the third largest opening for a film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). In fact, compared to the other standalone franchises in the MCU, the Captain America franchise continues to show the greatest film-over-film growth as Civil War's opening is a 91.3% increase over the opening for Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Also note, Disney under-estimated the opening weekend for Avengers: Age of Ultron last year by $3.6 million and some rival studios suggest Civil War may have brought in as much as $186 million this weekend.
Of course, heading into the weekend, expectations were undoubtedly high as Civil War looked as if it may be able to become only the fourth film to top $200 million in its first three days. The film's reported, $250 million budget is on par with the budget for Avengers: Age of Ultron and, given the film's sheer size and scope, Civil War plays much more like an Avengers film than your typical Marvel, standalone character feature. Added to that, Civil Warsaw great reviews heading into the weekend (91% on RottenTomatoes), record Fandango pre-sales for a superhero film, more premium ticket options and 3-D theaters than Ultron and the premiere of two new superheroes. Yet, don't for a second think of the film's opening as a disappointment.
Civil War scored an "A" CinemaScore, and solid holds over its first three days in release suggest a stellar domestic run is in the offing. Should it play out on par with the likes of The Winter Soldier it will likely pass $300 million domestically by next Sunday (if not sooner) and could surpass $450 million overall depending on how it holds on once X-Men: Apocalypse hits theaters on May 20.
Globally the film's total is now up to $678 million after launching internationally last weekend and bringing in an estimated $220 million from overseas markets this weekend. In fact, with $496.6 million internationally after just two weeks, it has already surpassed the lifetime international cumes of Captain America ($194M), Iron Man($267M), Thor ($268M), Iron Man 2 ($312M), Ant-Man ($339M), Thor: The Dark World ($438M), Guardians of the Galaxy ($440M) and Captain America: The Winter Soldier ($455M).

David Walker?
I touched on that in my review IMO cap and bucky are like childhood friends who grew apart.
Cap got a new life and good friend in Falcon. All of a sudden he hears his old pal in town and done told Falcon all this great shit about him and they go looking for him.
After finally catching up with dude Falcon like
this the nigga you been telling me about
I believe in this scene Falcon said, "Ohh, it's just that simple... We gonna be friends now."
I took that as a subliminal jab on Batman v Superman. The whole our mothers have the same last name we are friends scene. I don't know if that's possible to make a change so quick.
