Walk Like A Panther

Black Panther's arrival on our screens is imminent, but there's another film that plans to reference big cats and feature action in a way that's a lot more on the comic side than the comic book. The trailer has arrived for Walk Like A Panther.

Channelling the nostalgia for a time when lycra-clad wrestlers ruled the airwaves in the 1980s, Walk Like A Panther finds a group of ex-grapplers reuniting for a good cause. In this case, it's to help father-son duo Trevor "Bulldog" Bolton (Dave Johns) and Mark Bolton (Stephen Graham) save The Half-Nelson, the local boozer they run that has become the heart of their community.

When it's threatened with closure, the old brawler and some of his former ring-mates known as the Panthers decide to stage a charity match. Of course, things won't run quote so smoothly, but with hopefully funny results.

Dan Cadan wrote and directed the film, which also stars Jason Flemyng, Sue Johnston, Stephen Tompkinson, Julian Sands and Jill Halfpenny. It'll rumble onto UK screens on 9 March.
