Marvel Studios' "Black Panther" follows T'Challa (Boseman) who, after the death of his father, the King of Wakanda, returns home to the isolated, technologically advanced African nation to succeed to the throne and take his rightful place as king. But when a powerful old enemy reappears, T'Challa's mettle as king - and Black Panther - is tested when he is drawn into a formidable conflict that puts the fate of Wakanda and the entire world at risk. Faced with treachery and danger, the young king must rally his allies and release the full power of Black Panther to defeat his foes and secure the safety of his people and their way of life.

The film received seven nominations at the 91st Academy Awards(R) including Best Picture, with wins for Best Costume Design, Best Original Score and Best Production Design.

Based on the Marvel Comics by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, "Black Panther" also stars Martin Freeman, Letitia Wright, Winston Duke and Andy Serkis.

The film was directed by Ryan Coogler, who co-wrote the screenplay with Joe Robert Cole. Kevin Feige and David J. Grant were producers; and Louis D'Esposito, Victoria Alonso, Jeffrey Chernov, Nate Moore and Stan Lee served as executive producers.
