We still have more than a year and a half before the Marvel "Black Panther" film hits theaters, but fans of T'challa got to see Chadwick Boseman's take on the iconic African superhero in "Captain America: Civil War."

The costume Boseman wore, however, went through a couple of design iterations, and Marvel concept artist Andy Park shared them on Twitter this week.

On Wednesday morning, Park shared his favorite version. It's similar to the final movie version but somewhat more armored-looking, and it incorporates a more animalistic version of the tooth-and-claw necklace design.

On Tuesday, Park shared two concepts. Here's one he dubbed a "hi-tech, sleeker look."

And this menacing variant looks pretty intimidating.

Fans of costumes that never made the screen should follow Park on Twitter. He's also shared concept art for Scarlet Witch and Hawkeye, among other movie morsels.
