Plot
After what happened in 'Captain America: Civil War', T'Challa comes back home to his isolated, technologically advanced African nation of Wakanda. There, the owner of the black mask takes his place as king. But the peace and quite is all just a front, for an old enemy re-surfaces to test T'Challa as king and as Black Panther. His people are not the only ones in danger; the world could come shattering down into pieces too. Ryan Coogler directed the film, with Chadwick Boseman leading the cast as Black Panther, and other recognisable faces such as Forest Whitaker ('The arrival'), Andy Serkis ('Dawn of the Planet of the Apes'), Martin Freeman ('The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey'), Sterling K. Brown and Winston Duke.

Trivia
Research work
Ryan Coogler brought in consultants who are experts on African history and politics to work on defining Wakanda: "There are many African countries, each with different histories, mythologies, and cultures; there are several tribes who live amongst each other, and together they make the identity of their country. We honed in on some of the history/cultural influences from African countries and then made estimations."
African martial arts
The fighting in this film is based on African martial arts. The filmmakers also cite the action scenes in 'Creed' (2015) and the Kingsman films as an influence on the style.
'The Walking Dead' and Marvel
Danai Gurira is the fourth cast member from 'The Walking Dead' to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe with Michael Rooker portraying Yondu Udonta in 'Guardians of the Galaxy' (2014), Jon Bernthal portraying Frank Castle/The Punisher in 'Daredevil' (2015) and Travis Love as a Jabari warrior in this film.
