If you thought Chadwick Boseman was sick of people asking him to throw up the "Wakanda forever" sign just a few months after Black Panther's release, well, we have some news: Wakanda fans are not going anywhere. Becoming the highest-grossing superhero movie of all time and shattering a 21-year box office record can be quantified by the billion dollars it made worldwide, but the impact of the movie and what it means to the black community is immeasurable. As the first superhero film with a nearly all-black cast, the Ryan Coogler-directed film was as historic as it was humorous. With a cast that embraced natural hairstyles and superheroes who represented African cultures and traditions in a way we've never seen before on the big screen, Wakanda proved to be more than just a fictional country — it was a movement.

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.
