Abstract
This chapter is an exploration of the cultural significance of the film framed from a variety of perspectives. There are few films in the last decade that have had as much of a cultural impact as Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther, released in February 2018 as the eighteenth film in what is widely referred to as the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), a franchise which had started almost exactly ten years before with the release of Iron Man in 2008. As the first film in the MCU with a black protagonist and indeed the first superhero film with a black character named in the title since Hancock (2008), Black Panther was eagerly anticipated by many, but none could have foreseen the levels of financial success it achieved and the acute social and cultural significance it acquired.
