Black Panther is a movie about the superhero T’Challa, Black Panther, of the hidden but technologically advanced African nation of Wakanda,” said Jackie Scoggins. “The story reflects on the technical advancements of the Wakandan men and women, the strength that comes from unity, and how helping one another is beneficial to the well-being of everyone.”
Black Panther received numerous awards and nominations, including an Academy Award nomination for Best Picture, making it the first superhero film ever to receive such a nomination. The film broke a number of box office records including the highest-grossing film by a black director, a native of Oakland, the highest-grossing 2018 film in the U.S. and Canada, and the second-highest-grossing film of 2018 worldwide. Black Panther is also the first Marvel film with a predominantly black cast.
