T'Challa returns to the African nation of Wakanda to take his rightful place as king—and Black Panther. But he is drawn into a conflict that puts the fate of Wakanda and the entire world at risk.

Marvel Studios’ BLACK PANTHER follows T’Challa 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. 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 highest-grossing movie of 2018, BLACK PANTHER was the first superhero film to be nominated for a Best Picture Oscar and won 3 Oscars, for Best Original Score, Best Costume Design, and Best Production Design.
