The Black Panther movie took Hollywood and the world by storm when it shattered box-office records on its way to becoming one of the most successful Marvel franchise movies ever. But the phenomenon extended far beyond ticket sales. It inspired a whole new generation of Black moviegoers by seeing a world on screen that they had not seen before. Led by director Ryan Coogler's bold vision, Black Panther leapt off its comic book origins and transformed into a technologically-advanced world with deep African roots, and spawned a highly-anticipated sequel, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
