According to KungFu Rodeo, in an article from the LA Times, Tim Story also mentions the possibility of introducing the Black Panther to the big screen at some point via the FF franchise.

"I've always been a fan," Los Angeles native Story said of his superpowered charges. "When you played in the street, somebody was the Torch, somebody took the Hulk...

'I've got to tell you, to get the 'Fantastic Four' and turn it into a franchise, the first thing I thought was, 'Will I get the Silver Surfer'? Or someone like [the superhero] Black Panther, who was introduced in their book, get Djimon Hounsou and go do it?' But there are so many other great villains and stories - I feel like I hit the jackpot."
