The movie, centered on Prince T’Challa and his ascension to the throne of the fictional African nation of Wakanda, became the first big-budget tentpole and first comic book movie to feature a primarily black cast, and with a black filmmaker (Ryan Coogler) behind the camera. The movie took the world by storm, not just at the box office, where it made $1.35 billion, but culturally too, becoming a beacon for black audiences even as the phrase “Wakanda Forever” turned into a flag for all people.
Kevin Feige, who has had a producer credit on every Marvel movie since Iron Man, spoke to THR about breaking the glass ceiling, the first draft of the Panther script and his favorite scene in the movie.
Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige: ‘Black Panther’ features “One of the best lines we ever read”

“Don’t scare me like that, colonizer” was without a doubt my favorite line ever.

It’s rare that I’m moved by marvel dialogue. But the social significance of Wakand Forever must be acknowledged.

lol what

If his ancestors jumped off the ship and died in the ocean, then Killmonger shouldn’t be existing in the first place. And if T’Challa had any shred of justice in him, he could’ve told Killmonger that the living aren’t done with him yet. Make the badguy responsible for his actions. Man, this movie’s dumb.
