‘Cast Style’ one-sheet movie poster for Ryan Coogler’s game-changing super hero blockbuster “Black Panther”. An eye catching design by Art Machine which has the cast centre stage against a backdrop of incredible looking flying machines and the futuristic architecture of the hidden city of Wakanda. Originally rolled (as issued) this looks stunning and displays to excellent and impressive effect. If first appearances in movies follows the same trend as the comics then with Chadwick Boseman’s Black Panther (appearing in his own standalone title), Shuri, Killmonger, Nakia, Okoye, Everett Ross and the introduction of Wakanda, this entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe is a must have collectable item that represents a fine piece of ‘modern’ super-hero movie memorabilia.
Trivia: Black Panther is the first movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to have its opening weekend domestic box office surpass its production cost. It cost $200 million to make, and its Thursday night, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday opening weekend domestic box office was $202 million.

Black Panther Movie Poster
“After the events of Captain America: Civil War, Prince T’Challa returns home to the reclusive, technologically advanced African nation of Wakanda to serve as his country’s new king. However, T’Challa soon finds that he is challenged for the throne from factions within his own country. When two foes conspire to destroy Wakanda, the hero known as Black Panther must team up with C.I.A. agent Everett K. Ross and members of the Dora Milaje, Wakandan special forces, to prevent Wakanda from being dragged into a world war.”
Marvel continues to be marvelous in their latest franchise addition – “Black Panther“ with Chadwick Boseman‘s Panther oozing charm and stoicism as the titular hero and African king of the fictitious Wakanda, who faces his new empire with the imposing threat by Erik Killmonger (Michael B. Jordan) menacing, vengeance seeking cousin hellbent on using their nation’s natural resource – vibranium – to expose their country’s secrecies to the world. Filmmaker Ryan Coogler– who co-wrote the screenplay with Joe Robert Cole – spreads his canvas with bold color, sharp designs and eye-popping visual effects and set pieces (the car chase is a humdinger) and wisely allows his supporting cast – namely the trifecta of actresses Lupita Nyong’o as the smart, sexy love interest Nakia; Danai Gurira (bad ass all the way) as Okoye the lead warrior of T’Challa’s kingdom and scene-stealer/secret weapon Letitia Wright (funny, bright and sharp as a tack) as his kid sister and Q to his Bond, genius tech inventor – to in many ways overshadow the lead yet steer him steadily into battle. Geeks will be all giddy as well to see an onscreen reunite of Gollum and Bilbo Baggins (Andy Serkis and Martin Freeman, respectively as a villain and FBI agent/comrade to the King). Kudos to Ludwig Göransson‘s royale score and Ruth E. Carter‘s majestic costumes. All hail !
