Black Panther
Long live the king.
Directed by Ryan Coogler
Produced by Marvel Studios
A visually stunning superhero epic that balances spectacular action with themes of duty, legacy, and national identity, grounded in strong character relationships and cultural specificity.
King T'Challa returns home to the reclusive, technologically advanced African nation of Wakanda to serve as his country's new leader. However, T'Challa soon finds that he is challenged for the throne by factions within his own country as well as without. Using powers reserved to Wakandan kings, T'Challa assumes the Black Panther mantle to join with ex-girlfriend Nakia, the queen-mother, his princess-kid sister, members of the Dora Milaje (the Wakandan 'special forces') and an American secret agent, to prevent Wakanda from being dragged into a world war.
