Three years ago today, Black Panther was released in theaters. The movie made history at the box office, earned widespread critical acclaim, and later became the first Marvel Studios title to earn a "Best Picture" nomination at the Academy Awards.
Since February 16th, 2018, Black Panther has become a cultural phenomenon, inspiring people across the globe. "Wakanda Forever" became a rallying cry, and lead star Chadwick Boseman was an icon even before his tragic death last year. His passing after a lengthy battle with cancer left us all reeling, but the amazing work he did will never be forgotten.
To mark the three-year anniversary of the Marvel Comics adaptation, the Marvel Studios Instagram account has shared some beautiful behind-the-scenes photos from Black Panther.
Boseman, Michael B. Jordan, Letitia Wright, and more are all highlighted here, and now is a perhaps a perfect time to revisit the movie. Director Ryan Coogler is currently hard at work on a sequel which will not recast T'Challa, and is instead expected to see another character adopt the Black Panther mantle.
We don't know who that will be, but there are plenty of rumours out there listing the possibilities.
