One of the largest pre sale grossing movies for President’s Day Weekend has finally made it to theaters as Thursday night previews proved to be a sign that the Wakandan King will fare well at the box office this weekend as it is targeting close to 200 million according to box office mojo.
Marvel’s Black Panther stars Chadwick Boseman as T’Challa who is next in line for King and high honor as Black Panther after his father passes on. However upon assuming the role, he finds his country being challenged by an outside force as Erik Killmonger (Michael B. Jordan) attempts to overthrow him for his own angry intentions with the help of Ulysses Klaue (Andy Serkis).
But will T’Challa be able to keep his kingdom and save it from the terror of the other nation.
Also starring in Black Panther is Lupita Nyong’o as Nakia, Danai Gurira as Okoye, Martin Freeman as Everett K. Ross and of course the much anticipated cameo by comic book legend, Stan Lee.
At 2 hours and 20 minutes, Black Panther is not your average superhero movie, as the film itself is heavily saturated with exposition that fans craved for after Black Panther’s debut in Captain America: Civil War. There is a lot of depth to the movie that has audiences not turning their eyes away for a second. It explains the legend of the Panther and follows the struggle between brother and brother as it is a fight to figure out which one will be the rightful ruler.
Black Panther is currently out in theaters February 16 and is a must for any comic book fan.
