Black Panther was a cultural phenomenon, ensuring that ‘Wakanda Forever’ will be more than just a slogan emblazoned on T-shirts or a point of pride shouted at the film’s stars, it is a mission statement and a prophecy, meaning that Wakanda, and Black Panther will be on our theater screens forever, or at least the next few years or so.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been going for a decade but it has arguably never had a movie make the kind of impact that Black Panther did.
A blockbuster film from a black director and featuring an almost all black cast, the significance of Ryan Coogler’s film cannot be understated.
