Given all the excitement this week over Marvel’s upcoming Black Panther movie (thanks to news of Lupita Nyong’o and Michael B. Jordan potentially joining the film’s cast), what better time to share a fan-made 2-part short film based on the Marvel superhero from Wakanda.

Titled “Storms of Carnage: The Black Panther Unleashed,” written, directed, and edited by D.A. Jackson, starring Wester Joseph, Jeff Moise, Kieran McGrail, Stacston Carter, and D. Al’Deighmian Jackson, the series was actually made months before Marvel officially announced a Black Panther movie, with Chadwick Boseman in the starring role.

According to the filmmaker, the short, serving as more of an origins movie, was made with “only about $50 and a bag of trail mix,” adding that, “we set out to make the best fan film we could imagine. ‘Storms of Carnage’ was the result. We hope you have as much fun watching it as we had making it.”

In other words, don’t expect studio-level work here, especially in terms of visual FX. These guys made their fan-film for practically nothing, and, I must say, did a decent job with what they had to work with. So check out both part 1 and part 2 of “Storms of Carnage: The Black Panther Unleashed” below and see for yourselves, if you haven’t already watched them in the past.

Here’s part 1 (part 2 is below):
