Black panther

   

                                                                                Black Panther
The movie’s historic impact cannot be overstated: in 1966, Black Panther burst into popular consciousness as the first mainstream comic-book superhero of African descent. And now he’s the first black character to get a stand-alone feature within the Marvel Cinematic Universe — one specifically intended to launch a new blockbuster franchise. Directed by Creed/Fruitvale Station filmmaker Ryan Coogler, the film stars Chadwick Boseman (42, Marshall, Captain America: Civil War) as T’Challa, king and protector of the fictional African nation of Wakanda. He’s a “powerful warrior and strategic genius in politics and economics” (if a leaked casting call can be believed) also known for leaping into combat wearing Vibranium-enhanced sacred armor. Lupita Nyong’o turns up as a covert agent in T’Challa’s employ who strikes down foes with righteous fury, while Michael B. Jordan plays the bad guy: an exiled prince turned megabuff supervillain whose bad blood with Black Panther threatens to drag Wakanda into a world war.
