The filmmakers originally intended to use Wakanda designs based on the art of Marvel artist Jack Kirby, but decided against it as Kirby's work had already been used in Thor Ragnarok (2017) and the influence would make the Wakandans feel too alien. See more »

There are various cultural aspects that are a bit off. For example, a queen (and certainly not a queen mother) would not dance in such a ceremony as it would be undignified, plus the use of an obscene gesture by the king's sister was also inappropriate even in humor. Africans are far more polite than Europeans, and Americans in particular. See more »

This was supposed to be the newest and best Marvel movie. It was also supposed to be deeper than a super hero movie. Well, basically all they did was put African-Americans in the role of the main characters and followed the same exact formula of every other Marvel movie ever created. The action was mediocre at best. The villain was good, but at the point when he truly started to flesh out his character, I was bored and realized I was watching a movie. I literally said what was going to happen about 30 minutes before it happened. Now if you like super hero films, which I happen to not, I am sure you will have fun and enjoy this film. But, in my opinion this movie had th intensity of a haircut and was a boring commercial to sell toys.
