It's fitting that actresses Angela Bassett, Danai Gurira and Lupita Nyong'o are being honored in ELLE's annual Women in Hollywood issue (on stands Oct. 23). After all, no other movie this year has rivaled the cultural and financial influence of Black Panther, directed by Ryan Coogler. The blockbuster is set in a "Marvel universe that is unapologetically black," Nyong'o notes. "In our story," Nyong'o says, "the emphasis is on many different women holding their own space." Overall, Gurira appreciated how Wakanda, as a society, "was celebratory of everyone equally."

Inventor, Warrior, Spy: The Badass Women of Black Panther
As part of their Movie HQ page for Black Panther, Toys R Us has posted a bunch of character bios, including those for three of the wonderful women of Wakanda. The bios for Nakia, Okoye, and Shuri give each woman a full, realized character with motivations of her own, outside of T'Challa. However, if Marvel's previous treatment of women is any indicator, they'll likely still be confined to supporting roles. (We got an Ant-Man movie before we got a Black Widow movie, folks.) Here's hoping Kevin Feige will go ahead and greenlight that all-female Marvel movie already.The Black Panther Isn't the King of His Cosmic Empire

advertisingWARNING – Spoilers for Black Panther #1—A new Black Panther series has brought the Wakandan Empire to the stars—but it's also resetting the villainous Nakia and M'Baku as heroes. While Black Panther has been a popular hero for decades and the talent involved in this year's film seemed to further ensure its success, few could have guessed all the records Black Panther has broken at the box office. For the former Black Panther, that's a good thing, as both characters have long been villains in the comics. The Black Panther movie, however, tweaked Winston Duke's character to be more of a sympathetic antagonist. Black Panther #1 is available now from Marvel and comic book retailers.
