action
Wakanda and its metropolis, dominated by modern high-rise buildings, is a technically advanced nation in Africa that is cut off from the outside world and pretends to be a poor country in the global south. Thanks to a meteorite impact and a resulting source of raw material, the only local metal vibranium, the African country can make itself invisible to the rest of the world under a huge cloaking device. Also because the source of progress could wreak havoc in the wrong hands, the early leaders of Wakanda opted for isolation, which continues to this day.
In 1992, in Oakland, California, the King of Wakanda, T'Chaka aka Black Panther, visits his little brother, N'Jobu. Only recently, Ulysses Klaue aka Klaw, an intruder, managed to find out the secret of Wakanda and steal a large amount of Vibranium. N'Jobu, who works as a spy in the USA, is suspected by his brother as an accomplice of Klaue. Zuri, who hid N'Jobu's origin Wakanda, is a spy himself and proves the suspicion. N'Jobu explains what he is doing because he does not agree with Wakanda's foreign policy, how it hides and does not save black people around the world from oppression and poverty. He wants to shoot Zuri, but is stopped and killed by the king.
At present, following the assassination attempt in Austria a week ago in which T'Challa's father, King T'Chaka, was killed in the United Nations building, T'Challa is said to succeed his father on the throne of Wakanda. All he has to do is pass a traditional ceremony to be crowned king himself. He went to the Zambia Forest in Nigeria, where he prematurely ended the mission of his ex-girlfriend Nakia in order to have her with him at the ceremony the following day. During this, his special Black Panther powers are taken from him so that he has to prove himself against challengers from one of the other tribes who want to become king in his place. None of the four friendly tribes challenges T'Challa. Only M'Baku from the warring Jabari, who appears in his monkey mask, faces T'Challa in a fight, but has to admit defeat. The Black Panther powers are restored after the hard fight with the help of a heart-shaped, purple herb that only grows in Wakanda, and buried in red sand, the new king meets his father in a vision from the afterlife.
At the same time, ex-soldiers Erik Killmonger and Ulysses Klaue steal an artifact made of vibranium from a London museum. When T'Challa and Nakia find out about it, they do everything in their power to retrieve the artifact in a planned sale in South Korea and capture Klaue. T'Challa's sister Shuri also has an arsenal of defensive weapons ready to protect the king and keep the secret of Wakanda. She equips him with gadgets for his missions.
Together with General Okoye, a warrior and leader of the Dora Milaje, they go to Busan , where they try to prevent the handover in a casino. The artifact is to be acquired by CIA agent Everett K. Ross on behalf of the US government. T'Challa knows Ross well, and after a wild chase through town, they can jointly capture Klaue. He tells Ross the truth about Wakanda, but is then freed by Killmonger. Here Ross is seriously injured in his spine, so that T'Challa decides to take him to Wakanda to heal him there, which is also successful. His previous henchman and one of the tribal leaders W'Kabi is disappointed that his king is returning without a claw, because he killed his parents 30 years ago.
T'Challa learns from Zuri that N'Jobu left a son in Oakland and that he has now freed Klau. Meanwhile, Killmonger betrays Klaue and kills him. He flies to Wakanda and gives W'Kabi Klaue's body as a gift. He challenges King T'Challa to a duel for the throne before the great council and reveals himself to be his cousin, whom T'Chaka knowingly left alone. The new king accepts the challenge. When the challenger Killmonger seriously injures King T'Challa in a ritual duel, Zuri stands in Killmonger's way so that he doesn't kill T'Challa. Killmonger therefore kills Zuri and throws T'Challa down the ceremonial waterfall. As the new king, he is now trying to completely change the country's politics by distributing the highly developed weapons of Wakanda to the black oppressed around the world. T'Challa's family, Nakia and Ross flee and seek support from M'Baku. There they discover that T'Challa survived the fall into the water, was found by the Jabari and kept alive in a coma in the snow of the mountains. After his healing with the heart-shaped herb and another conversation with his father in the afterlife, T'Challa decides to return to his old place and end Wakanda's isolation. Together they return to the capital and, with the support of Dora Milaje, can defeat Killmonger and his allies W'Kabi. With the help of Shuri, Ross prevents the weapons from leaving Wakanda. T'Challa fatally injures Killmonger in the fight in the Vibranium mine and drags him onto a cliff above the mine so that he can see his homeland one last time. T'Challa offers to cure Erik. However, he asks to be buried in the sea and chooses death.
On the throne again, T'Challa and Shuri visit Oakland and stand in front of the house where N'Jobu died and Killmonger grew up. The King of Wakanda has bought three buildings there, in which he plans to set up an aid center to be run by Nakia. When he and Shuri land their initially camouflaged plane on the basketball court, T'Challa is approached by one of the local children. In the scene during the credits , the king reveals the secret of Wakanda and promises the people of the world in Vienna in front of the United Nations that he will help them with the resources of his country.
In the post-credits scene, Bucky Barnes, who was brainwashed by HYDRA in Wakanda, wakes up and Shuri explains that he has a lot of catching up to do.
Film analysis
Black Panther as a figure of Afrofuturism
Stan Lee and Jack Kirby invented T'Challa aka Black Panther at the height of the civil rights movement, a few months before the Black Panther Party started . He was the first black superhero in the US comic mainstream. Andreas Borcholte from Spiegel Online explains that the two Jewish artists, who had previously developed popular characters such as Die Fantastischen Vier , the Hulk and the X-Men , wanted to offer their black readership a popular cultural identity figure. The influences of comics include the afrocentric science fiction jazz of Sun Ra and his Arkestra, which later resulted in the brightly colored film Space Is The Place , and Ralph Ellison's novel The Invisible Man . Black Panther was thus a figure of what was later referred to as Afrofuturism , i.e. a literary and cultural aesthetic that combines elements from science fiction, historical novels, fantasy, afrocentricity and magical realism with non-western cosmologies and issues and concerns of the African diaspora from one shows a technocultural and science fiction perspective.
The characters in the film
T'Challa: After the death of his father T'Chaka, whose title and throne he inherits, he becomes king of the fictional, highly developed African state of Wakanda. T'Challa made his first appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the film The First Avenger: Civil War , where he gets caught in a conflict between the Avengers as a prince . He supports the Iron Man alias Tony Stark team at Leipzig Airport in the planned arrest of Captain America alias Steve Rogers and his troops, as they protect the Winter Soldier alias Bucky Barnes, who was held responsible for the assassination attempt on his father. When he learns that he was only deceived by the actual assassin Helmut Zemo, he offers Rogers and the former Avengers asylum in Wakanda, which he freed, and allows Barnes to recover from the consciousness programming by Hydra. He owes his powers, such as superhuman physical strength and speed, to a purple-colored, heart-shaped herb that grows in Wakanda.
Shuri: The young tech genius and a princess of Wakanda is T'Challa's sister and equips her brother with useful weapons. She has developed EMP pearls, special trainers that make no noise when you run, and a suit that is hidden in a simple necklace and equipped with nanite technology.
Okoye: The Wakandan fighter has the rank of general and leads the Dora Milaje, a group of elite warriors who protect the king of Wakandas. Okoye advises T'Challa on strategic matters.
Nakia: T'Challa's ex-girlfriend. She is a spy for Wakanda and fights for human rights - e.g. B. for the liberation of women who are held captive by rebels in Nigeria.
N'Jadaka / Erik “Killmonger” Stevens: The long-unknown son of T'Challa's uncle, who is also in the line of succession from Wakanda, grew up in the slums of Oakland. His vision of a just future is to arm the world's black population with weapons to start a revolution. As T'Challa's adversary, he wants to provide the 2 billion oppressed blacks around the globe with those powerful vibranium weapons that Wakanda has so far kept to himself. He sees this as a political injustice.
Zuri: The master of ceremonies and priest in Wakanda tends the plants with the purple flowers that give the Black Panther powers.
Ulysses Klaue / Klaw: The South African criminal who earns his money with arms deals received an artificial arm made of Vibranium and has been wanted by Wakanda for many years.
Everett K. Ross: The CIA agent is a retired Air Force pilot.
M'Baku: He is the leader of the Jabari hill tribe, one of the Wakanda tribes who are suspicious of the king. M'Baku wears a gorilla mask on special occasions.
The scene of Wakanda
Wakanda, whose story, like that of Black Panther, is retold at the beginning of the film in an animated sequence consisting entirely of deforming black sand, was once founded by five tribes. There is also an African tribe near the capital that serves as a distraction. After a meteorite impact, with which a large amount of the metal vibranium was brought to earth, the African country can make itself invisible to the rest of the world under a huge cloaking device. Cars and gliders can also be made from vibranium. Wakanda has a well-functioning agriculture, and a heart-shaped herb is planted underground, thanks to the vibranium that grows there and gives superhuman strength to the country's leaders. The people of Wakanda believe in the goddess Bastet .
The African state of Wakanda, which is largely isolated from the outside world, only pretends to be a poor third world country, but is technically almost a century ahead of the rest of the world. Unlike the rest of Africa, the people of Wakanda have never been deprived of their resources, enslaved or otherwise oppressed. Neither has anyone attempted to conquer Wakanda, but after T'Challa has ascended the throne, the intrigues continue, and the secrets that Wakanda has been able to keep for so many years seem in jeopardy.
Position of the woman in Wakanda
Lupita Nyong'o, who plays Nakia in the film, sees an Africa in Black Panther's homeland that could actually have existed: “Wakanda is an incredible place. Women have power, they are strong. They are warriors. The king's bodyguard consists only of women. They call themselves the Dora Milaje. "
“To watch Danai Gurira [...] how she invested so much love, pride and heart in portraying the fighter Okoye was incredible. It reminds me that this is what Africa could look like had it not been for slavery. "
Peter Debruge of Variety compared the film Blaxploitation -classics as Foxy Brown and Cleopatra Jones to celebrate because he thought the same tradition alive strong, confident black women. Katrin Hemmerling from Robots & Dragons was also particularly positive about the role women play in Wakanda's culture: "It's a pleasant change to see a film in which women are on an equal footing with men without losing their feminine side." Marietta Steinhart from Zeit Online said: "The women in this country probably do not know the word feminism because they have obviously always been strengthened in the belief that they can be anything."
Civil Rights and Geopolitics: Importance to the MCU
Black Panther is considered the first black superhero in the comic book universe and also the first black superhero in the MCU to be the focus of a movie. For Tim Sohr from Neon , Black Panther is nothing less than a turning point in film history, as mainstream cinema with a completely black cast has never existed in this consistent form before.
Richard Brody of the New Yorker says Black Panther merges the imaginary Marvel world with world history, contemporary politics, and especially the experience of black people in the United States. Many Marvel releases reflected the political turmoil in the United States, Brody said, but the torments of everyday life are unusually complex and resonant, and the symbolic dimensions are lush and powerful. Wakanda reminds him of an innocent and unspoiled Africa, as in a time before the Fall, free from Western colonial devastation, the country's resources not plundered, its traditions unbroken, and its technical achievements embodied both material and intellectual resources of the country.
The new king of Wakanda has to decide whether the Afro-nation will open up to the outside world under his regime in order to let the world share in its wealth, but also to alleviate the struggle of the American brothers and sisters, says Andreas Borcholte from Spiegel Online . He soon realizes that his utopia can no longer hide and that his Wakanda-First policy is reaching its limits. In the main building of the United Nations in Vienna, T'Challa finally announced that Wakanda would share his knowledge and resources with the other countries of the world and said: “Wakanda will no longer watch from the shadows. We cannot. We must not. ”In this way he hopes to unite humanity and to help those who are in need. You have to find a way to take care of each other as if they were all a single tribe. When a representative from another country condescendingly asks what a place like Wakanda could offer the rest of the world, T'Challa just smiles knowingly.
The film was repeatedly described by critics as a political thriller. Christoph Stachowetz from vienna.at explains that in addition to a classic origin story about the transformation of a character who is not yet firmly established in himself into a pure idealist, problems relating to colonization, terrorism and social isolation are also taken up: “The new owner of the throne of Wakanda is faced with the fact that the self-imposed isolation has created an apparent utopia for his people, but thanks to technological progress this would not be a major disadvantage for the rest of mankind either. "Andreas Busche from Tagesspiegel says that Black Panthers tell the social story Fight as a black internal conflict, and the film cleverly turns geopolitical conditions upside down. Busche also remarks that, as a black superhero story, Black Panther could also have the subtitle Martin Luther King vs Malcolm X : “Coogler succeeds in the feat, in a popcorn movie the Afro-American discourse between dialogue and civil resistance, which ranges from the civil rights movement to ' Black Lives Matter 'pulls through the social struggle with racism to negotiate in a differentiated manner. A film with a budget of 170 million dollars could hardly be more personal: Black Panther refers to Afrofuturism and the 'Black Diaspora' - and pays tribute to the victims of the Atlantic slave trade . "
Katrin Doerksen from Der Freitag observes that even if the film has legitimate concerns, there are many at once, and they are often casually dealt with in a subordinate clause: "As if the filmmakers had blindly lumped all the problems that occurred to them, according to the motto: Who knows how often we will still have the opportunity to talk about it in a publicly effective way. In the best case, the Black Panther can appear arbitrary, in the worst case the diffuse image of a battered country is reproduced, which for us stands for "Africa". "
Zeitgeist or myth for the future of humanity?
"If you catch the zeitgeist and a cultural moment arises, traditional models are turned upside down."
Martin Schwickert of the Stuttgarter Nachrichten thinks the story of the film fits in with the debates in the US about the situation of African Americans. Christian Buß from Spiegel Online extends this interpretation and says: “From Johannesburg to Lagos to Addis Ababa, the superhero film Black Panther is celebrated as a beacon of hope for Africa - and as a proud response to Trump's“ Shithole ”comparisons.” Buß reports on the premiere in Johannesburg, where many viewers came to the cinema in colorful Black Panther- like outfits and the announcements were made on Xhosa, which developed this in celebration of African self-confidence.
Andrian Kreye and Jens-Christian Rabe from Süddeutsche Zeitung call the film a turning point in terms of culture and mentality. Black Panther is an ideological liberation with a story that becomes so much more than a movie, namely an alternative myth of no less than the future of humanity. The film will become one of those rare cultural events where it could well be that it will soon be taken for granted that there is a time before and a time after, the critics continued. They refer to the South African journalist Sumeya Gasa, who said in The Root magazine after seeing the film in Johannesburg: “We were shown like people, that is all that counts. It felt so good. ”Christian Werthschulte quotes the Afro-futurist artist Ingrid LaFleur in the taz , according to which the film triggers feelings of happiness in a large crowd of viewers who are otherwise exposed to constant oppression by the state:“ The debate must not end with the hype surrounding the movie. I want to make sure that we have blueprints for the future in which black bodies are safe and blacks can take their own fate into their own hands. "
However, one should not overlook the fundamental criticism of African intellectuals, who see above all backward-looking European stereotypes about Africa being continued in the film. The Kenyan journalist Patrick Gathara wrote in the Washington Post that the film was a "regressive, neo-colonial vision of Africa".
production
History and staff
The planned project was announced in October 2013, which was officially confirmed by Marvel Studios in October 2014 . With Black Panther , Marvel will release its first film with a predominantly dark-skinned cast, in which Ryan Coogler will also be directing for the first time an African-American, as was officially confirmed by Marvel in January 2016 after Ava DuVernay was initially discussed as the director of the film . The director of Marvel Studios and producer of the film Kevin Feige said: "The comics were always progressive and showed all sorts of different cultures and races, and we want to stay true to that." Coogler wrote that together with Joe Robert Cole , who was also black Screenplay for the film.
Coogler saw the Black Panther project as a unique opportunity to show an Africa that does not only consist of poverty and misery, and he accepted without hesitation. After a call from producer Nate Moore , he bought two Black Panther comics at the same comic book store he'd been visiting since childhood, took a picture, and mailed it to Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige. "I was ready. Marvel was ready. Black Panther has accompanied me since I was a child. It was the only superhero who looked like me. I went into the store at the time and said that I wanted to read a comic in which the hero looks like me. I already knew Superman and the X-Men. I wanted something different, I wanted more. ”The director continued, mostly Africa is not shown in a good light:“ Often it is wrong, or at least goes in the wrong direction. However, it is worst when the black identity is abused as a plot device. Then the whole story becomes hurtful and damaging. The Black Panther team was aware of this responsibility at all times. To be honest, as a director I was aware every second of the responsibility to finally present black identity in a different light. Sometimes I didn't think of anything else. "
Occupation and preparation
The main role of T'Challa aka Black Panther was cast with Chadwick Boseman , who introduced this role in The First Avenger: Civil War in the Marvel Cinematic Universe . Boseman had already been taught the African language Xhosa by an African language trainer for the shooting of this film. Boseman had already worked with martial arts artist Marrese Crump and choreographer Aakomon Jones on the James Brown film Get on Up . Commenting on his role as a hero, Boseman said: “It's just very inspiring to see someone on screen in whom you can recognize yourself - even in a superhero movie. As a black you almost always see people who, at least visually, have nothing in common with you. At the same time, Black Panther is also an enrichment for all non-black viewers. Because it is incredibly important to see heroes who do not correspond to the typical image that we are used to. That broadens the horizon and also corresponds to reality. "
Michael B. Jordan plays Erik Killmonger. The rising prince is a critic of the government and was banished from Wakanda, but has teamed up with a hostile, foreign opponent to bring the rightful heir to Wakanda's throne. Lupita Nyong'o plays Nakia, a secret agent of Wakanda whose job it is to keep the country's secrets and to pursue and kill its enemies when necessary.
Winston Duke took on the role of M'Baku, the leader of a religious minority in Wakanda who disagreed with the heir to the throne T'Challa and also disagreed with the governance style of his slain father, T'Chaka. Omitting M'Baku's nickname Man-Ape in the film explained producer Nate Moore that a black character disguised as a monkey was too tricky, and so his costume - he appears as a white gorilla in the comics - was therefore defused. The fact that M'Baku and his followers worship the gorilla gods was found interesting, especially since Black Panther itself is a kind of deity. Andy Serkis took on the role of Ulysses Klaue, who replaced his severed arm, which he lost in Avengers: Age of Ultron , with a piece of technology containing vibranium that he stole from Wakanda. The real danger Klaue poses, however, is what he might tell the outside world about the nation's secrets. Actress and singer Nabiyah Be was initially hired as the villain Tilda Johnsons, who is linked in the comics to Nightshade, a genius who creates a serum that turns humans into werewolves. Her role was renamed Linda for the final version of the film, as the character of Tilda Johnson was announced for the second season of the Marvel series Marvel's Luke Cage . As in The First Avenger: Civil War , Florence Kasumba , who grew up in Germany, can be seen in the role of Ayo and Danai Gurira in the role of Okoye. Stan Lee made a cameo at a casino in Busan that T'Challa visited.
Shortly after filming began, Atandwa Kani announced that he would take on the role of young T'Chaka in a flashback scene played by his father, John Kani, in the present day. Thus, despite his death in The First Avenger: Civil War , King T'Chaka returned to the role of the ruler of Wakanda and has an appearance together with his son.

Equipment, costumes and filming
Coogler traveled alone through South Africa for several weeks before he was joined by production designer Hannah Beachler . Both wanted to bring the fictional wakanda to life through smells, tastes and real audio-visual impressions of Africa; everything had to feel like Africa, and Beachler wanted to put real African identity into every fiber of the film: “I wanted the music to fit, the language, the entire production design. The buildings, the streets and the symbolism had to be right. Even the color of the walls can be wrong. Even the things that are not so nice: the violence, the weapons and the conflicts. If you tell a fictional story, it still has to feel real in that context. "
Karsten Scholz from buffed.de remarks that after a few minutes it was clear: “ Black Panther feels completely different to all other Marvel films. Wakanda may be a high-tech country, but with every pore it breathes the natural lifestyle of Africa. Instead of body-hugging suits, colorful robes usually determine the picture. Here the camera captures enchanting landscapes instead of well-known landmarks from overpopulated world metropolises, while the bush drums in the background set the pace. ”Katrin Hemmerling from Robots & Dragons also catches the eye, the elaborate and colorful design of Wakanda:“ The production was inspired by various African cultures . This blaze of color paired with some breathtaking landscape shots make Black Panther a feast for the eyes. In contrast, the technical world of Wakanda, in which inventions such as the Black Panther's suit are created, appears sober and clear. "
The red armored outfits of the female bodyguard, the Dora Milaje, refer to elements of the Turkana , Himba and Maasai tribes , and their neck rings are a nod to the Ndebele tribe . The African-American costume designer Ruth E. Carter , who was nominated for an Oscar for her work on the film drama Malcom X, was responsible for the designs . With her designs, she wanted to pay tribute to the different regions and traditions of the African continent and therefore undertook extensive research trips to various indigenous tribes with her team in the run-up to the shooting. Later she combined futuristic superhero full body suits with elements from traditional handicraft and was based on bead embroidery of the Maasai as well as on the leather processing of the Himba nomads. Carter noted that in the past, Africa had been standardized in terms of film costumes, i.e. depicted as poor or kitschy, but that the costumes of the citizens of Wakanda, which once came from five different tribes, should have a clearly recognizable history and at the same time underline the individuality of each individual character . Ann-Kathrin Riedl of the fashion magazine Vogue remarks that the case of Black Panther clearly shows that it is possible to use the phenomenon of “cultural appropriation”, which has been hotly debated in the fashion industry for a number of years, ie the mixing of allusions to different cultures and traditions at eye level to implement. From Ghana to Los Angeles, Carter searched for fabrics and accessories that she could have incorporated into the film. In the end, around 700 costumes were created for the film.
Ruth E. Carter used 3D printing to create the Zulu- inspired headgear and cloak for the Queen Mother's figure . The green dress that Nakia wears in the casino was also made by her using a 3D printing process. Her dress, Okoye's red suit and T'Challa's black suit in the scene also symbolize the pan-African flag , while Klaues' blue jacket stands for colonization . The color blue also means danger and trouble, which is why it is only used by the W'Kabis tribe and killmongers. The Black Panther costume, on the other hand, was inspired by Superman . Carter commented, "When I looked at Superman's suit and its texture, I could actually see that the sculpted muscles underneath were made of silver." This was ideal for Carter to show that the Black Panther suit was made Vibranium consists. In the fall of 2018, the suit is scheduled to be exhibited at the National Museum of African American History and Culture , a Smithsonian Institution museum dedicated to the culture and history of African American people . The cylindrical crown and bolero of Queen Mother Ramonda, mother of King T'Challa, were developed in collaboration with Julia Körner from Salzburg, who specializes in 3D printer design. The designer came to film production on the initiative of costume designer Ruth Carter, who was looking for the right mix of materials and came across Körner's wearable fashion from the 3D printer.
Filming began in January 2017. Two days later, Martin Freeman and Andy Serkis were confirmed in their roles that they had already played in previous films. Leading actor Chadwick Boseman came to Atlanta on January 4th, 2017 to prepare for filming. The Atlanta City Hall was also used as the location. In the film, it serves as a backdrop for a UN building. Filming began in March 2017 in the South Korean coastal city of Busan . Filming lasted until April 19, 2017. The camerawoman was Oscar-nominated Rachel Morrison .
Film music, accompanying album and sound design
The soundtrack was composed by Ludwig Göransson . For these, among other things, African drums were used, and woodwinds were also used. Göransson had traveled to Africa to do research, for example to Senegal, where there were very special African instruments such as the Sabar drum or the talking drum , a West African speaking drum: “All the different rhythms and melodies that I have written come from mostly from West African culture. There are two distinct peoples in Senegal: the Wolof and the Fulbe , both of which are among the largest tribes in West Africa . A large part of the film music comes from these two cultures. ”When Göransson first talked to Coogler about Killmonger, it was mainly about the fact that he was of Wakandand origin but grew up in America, which is why his music is clearly from Wakanda had to distinguish: “I thought about what the music could sound like that Killmonger himself likes to hear. So we came up with the idea to make his sounds much more modern and that is how his rap-like sound came about . I still wanted to bring some wakanda into his melody, so I came up with the fula flute, an African instrument. I wanted to bring out his African roots acoustically. ”The soundtrack was released on February 16, 2018 by Marvel Music and Hollywood Records and comprises 28 pieces of music composed by Göransson.
In early January 2018, Marvel Studios and TDE Entertainment announced that Kendrick Lamar and Anthony Tiffith would produce another soundtrack for the film. Black Panther: The Album , which comprises 14 pieces of music, was released digitally and on CD on February 9, 2018. On February 18, 2018, the album debuted at number 1 on the Billboard 200. Three songs have already been released in advance on the stream: All the Stars by Lamar and SZA , King's Dead by Jay Rock , Kendrick Lamar, Future and James Blake and Pray For Me by The Weeknd and Kendrick Lamar. On the use of modern music, album co-producer Sounwave said it was a very sensible move: "I think it's only right. The film doesn't set in 1910 or the 1960s when Black Panther first came out. It is located in today. "
Martin Böttcher from Deutschlandfunk Kultur notes that Kendrick Lamar is a prominent voice against the oppression of blacks in the USA: "The multiple Grammy winner repeatedly drew attention to social grievances in his texts and criticized the widespread racism in US society." The music journalist Dennis Pohl said in an interview with Böttcher: “In this case, for once, you have shown foresight in dealing with black culture. One can only congratulate Marvel for that. ”The album is more political than the film, which is why Pohl also believes that the soundtrack could ultimately have a greater impact on pop culture than the film itself, and without the context of the film, the music even works Better, because Lamar has simply recorded something like the most contemporary piece of music that can be made in 2018: "Stylistically diverse and excellently produced, the album also impresses musically." Deutschlandfunk Kultur also states that the album is in particular an inventory of the black zeitgeist and at the same time far more than just a background for the cinema pictures: "Lamar creates an independent work with a political message."
A music video for All the Stars was released in early February 2018. This was directed by Dave Meyers and the Little Homies . The video combines African aesthetics with superhero depictions. You can see Lamar in the midst of a crowd in an African village and while crossing a desolate landscape accompanied by a group of panthers and SZA in various elaborate costumes while dancing.
In August 2018, the Wakanda Remixed Album was released, which includes five pieces of music.
Steve Boeddeker , who was nominated for an Oscar for his work on All Is Lost , and Benjamin A. Burtt , son of multiple Oscar winner Ben Burtt, were responsible for sound design and sound editing .
Marketing and Publishing
At the end of 2016, Andrew Leung published some unused concept images for the Marvel film The First Avenger: Civil War on his website , including various depictions of a city from the Kingdom of Wakanda. This lies within an extinct volcano where a multitude of lakes have formed. Inside the crater lies a paradisiacal city with a futuristic look, spread over a multitude of islands and clearly separated from the rest of the world as part of a secluded kingdom.
Simultaneously with the concept art, of which it is not yet known whether they will serve as a template for Black Panther , set photos of Chadwick Boseman, which were taken during the motion capture of the film The First Avenger: Civil War and were released on which he wears the costume that enabled post-processing on the computer of the figure he represented, which was ultimately completely digitized. The first teaser trailer was released on June 10, 2017. Photos of various characters in the film and Wakanda were also released at the time. In the July 2017 edition of Entertainment Weekly magazine , numerous photos of the filming and of the actors who answered questions about the film were published in preparation for the Comic-Con . The second trailer was released on October 16, 2017.
In February 2015, July 6, 2018 was announced as the release date of the film, later the date was postponed to mid-February 2018.

The statement of reasons for the release states: “Good and bad are easy to distinguish, the action scenes are mostly staged bloodlessly. Children under the age of 12 can be overwhelmed by individual depictions of violence and threat scenarios, but 12-year-olds can distance themselves sufficiently because the setting and action can be clearly classified as fictional for them and there are hardly any links to their everyday life. The positive messages of the film also contribute to the fact that 12-year-olds can process it without impairment. "
Social and digital media
After presenting a first trailer as part of the NBA finals on June 9, 2017, Variety reported that it generated 466,000 conversations. After the world premiere of Black Panther on January 29, 2018 and the fallen social media embargo, the number of hashtags used for the film on Twitter shot up from an average of 7,000 to almost 324,000. An activity of 150,000 or more is considered exceptionally high. With Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, the film's most important websites grew tenfold the day after the premiere, so that the film outperformed all other Marvel offshoots in the social media sector.
Around the start of the film, right-wing trolls in particular published numerous false reports on Twitter by fair-skinned moviegoers who were allegedly physically assaulted in order to dissuade whites from going to the cinema and to harm the film. Black viewers would have beaten up white visitors and driven them out of the cinema with words like “this film is not for you”. These false reports were supported with old pictures from the Internet, which supposedly came from the cinemas. After its release, the film nevertheless reached number 1 on the cinema charts in a large number of countries, such as South Africa and Australia. In addition, the film article on Black Panther was the 7th most visited website of 2018, with 21.2 million hits in the English language Wikipedia .
Black Panther Challenge
A fundraising campaign launched in January 2018 by Frederick Joseph, a New York marketing professional, raised funds to help young people from disadvantaged families in Harlem , New York go to the cinema. As a result of the many donations and the great support, he announced the #BlackPantherChallenge . Together with GoFundMe , he was able to collect over 300,000 US dollars in several individual campaigns for this purpose after a few weeks, distributed to people all over the world. Actors like Oscar winner Octavia Spencer had also announced that they would rent entire cinemas. The actress wanted to ensure that black children from less privileged communities also have the opportunity to see someone like herself as a superhero.
Gross profit
After Black Panther set a record in the US with the highest US ticket sales of all superhero films prior to its official release in theaters, with more tickets sold in the first 24 hours than for any other film in the MCU, it played there after being sold on 16 February 2018 in 4,020 cinemas started, on its first day of showing 75.8 million US dollars (including 25.2 million US dollars from previews), which was the eighth best launch day of all time in the USA. On the four-day Presidents' Day weekend he made over $ 242 million there. With box office earnings totaling more than $ 700 million, the film ranks third among the top-grossing films of all time.
In Germany, the film is in 14th place in the 2018 annual charts with 1,797,443 visitors and box office earnings of 19.18 million euros . In Austria, the film grossed around 530,000 euros on the first weekend with 45,450 visitors, making it to number two on the domestic weekend cinema charts. Including Thursday, 55,717 visitors saw the film in Austria on the first weekend. On the second weekend Black Panther grossed around 391,000 euros in Austrian cinemas and reached number one in the charts with 33,532 visitors. After ten weeks, 209,041 Austrian visitors saw the film, which brought in around 2.8 million US dollars. The film's worldwide revenue from theatrical screenings so far is approximately $ 1.35 billion. As a result, the film is number 2 of the most successful films of 2018 and number 13 in the list of the world's most successful films of all time (as of August 8, 2020).
Audience reaction and reviews
Prior to Black Panther's theatrical release , a Facebook group called "Down with Disney's Treatment of Franchises and its Fanboys" called for the film to be put down on the Rotten Tomatoes website . The film was ultimately rated positively by 79 percent of the visitors on the aggregation website.
Among the 500 Rotten Tomatoes critics, the film was able to convince 97 percent and received an average rating of 8.3 out of a possible 10 points. The consensus there says that the film will take superhero cinema to new heights and tell one of the most fascinating stories of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Among the films in the MCU, Black Panther is the film with the highest rating to date.
According to a study by comscore on the opening weekend in the USA, 37 percent of the visitors were black, 35 percent white and 18 percent of the moviegoers were Hispanic. Men made up 55 percent of the visitors. Susan Vahabzadeh from the Süddeutsche Zeitung commented on the great success of the film and the positive reactions from all parts of society, it was nice to hear that there can still be something that a lot of Americans can agree on, because otherwise the USA is deeply are divided: "So the audience stuck together."
Initial reactions from critics after the film's world premiere were consistently positive. Jen Yamato of the Los Angeles Times said on Twitter that Black Panther is incredible, kinetic and purposeful, a superhero film about why representation and identity are important and how tragic it is when these things are denied to people. Even when Michael B. Jordan played the villain Killmonger in the film, he made her cry, Yamato continues. For Eric Eisenberg of CinemaBlend , Erik Killmonger is without a doubt one of Marvel's best villains.
Erik Davis of Fandango calls the film the James Bond in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and nothing like it has been seen in a superhero film, also because there is a depth and spirituality in it that is unlike anything Marvel has ever done.
Brian Truitt of USA Today says Black Panther was just great, "He is extremely brave, equally touching how exciting and offers Game-of-Thrones -like intrigue, innovative action and a large number of crazy unforgettable characters." The journalist Natasha Alford highlighted T'Challa's warriors Nakia, Shuri and Okoye via Twitter, who are heroines to whom young girls can now look up who have never had superheroes who look like them.
Daniel Krüger explains in the Musikexpress that everything that happens in Wakanda, which is hidden from the world, is pure science fiction nonsense that Coogler tries to make believable at the beginning, and that he sometimes gets lost in long explanations of technical miracles and in supposed African tribal rituals, in which main actor Chadwick Boseman has to fight himself to the king: "The unsuccessful African dialects that the US actors want to imitate here are particularly uncomfortable at such moments." Nevertheless, Black Panther may through individual scenes in which current world politics are actually taken up, as the most political and committed of all Marvel films, Krüger continues, and this anti-film, which is getting more and more out of hand at the finale, makes you happy because it is not a smoothly ironed Disney production, but even died and bled, cursed and serious in it There is speculation about whether it is really such a bad idea, though one would suddenly equip all oppressed blacks in the world with super weapons: “The pseudo-politics in“ Black Panther ”are wonderfully cynical, you can't get rid of the feeling that someone here actually wanted to make a serious film. Luckily that didn't work. "
Karsten Scholz from buffed.de also thinks that Black Panther feels more exotic, more spiritual and more African and therefore different from all other Marvel films, which one has to like: “ Black Panther is more serious, poses the people and their conflicts as well as the search according to their identity in the foreground. This is primarily about individual fates and only marginally about saving the world. "
Marietta Steinhart from Zeit Online complains that the story is too predictable, has a classic three-act superhero structure and at the end there is a fight that has been seen better in other Marvel films. Steinhart goes on to say, however, that with the rise of authoritarianism in the USA, the Black Lives Matter movement , the #OscarSoWhite debacle and the resurgence of white nationalism , the sheer existence of this film cannot really be overstated.
Use in school lessons
The online portal kinofenster.de recommends Black Panther for the subjects English, German , social studies, politics and art and offers materials for the film for the lessons. Christian Horn writes there that a discussion in social studies could take up the political questions of the plot: "T'Challa wants to continue to hide the knowledge of his homeland, Killmonger wants to make the vibranium weapons accessible to the globally oppressed black population." The question of opening up world politics Wakandas also arise when a scene addresses the possible inclusion of refugees, Horn continues.

continuation
In March 2018, Kevin Feige , head of Marvel Studios confirmed that a sequel was a done deal and that you already have a pretty clear idea of where the journey should go in the second part.
As part of the Cannes Film Festival in May 2018, director Ryan Coogler spoke about the possible cinematic future of the fictional country of Wakanda and explained to the press present that he would like to stage an offshoot that focuses on the female characters of his comic adaptation. The idea for this had already occurred to him during the film editing of Black Panther , because he liked the scenes that did not revolve around Wakanda's king T'Challa, but about his female companions, more than the sequences in which the title character is in focus stood: “These parts of the film feel fresh and new. [...] These scenes are exciting. They live from these actresses who could easily carry their own film. ”In October 2018 it was finally confirmed that Coogler would also direct and write the script for the sequel. Due to the surprising death of main actor Chadwick Boseman in August 2020, a sequel is uncertain.
