Guys, i’ve been reading too many articles and comments stating Black Panther is the first black superhero movie lol. Nobody here by the way!
Blade was the first Marvel film that had starred a lead actor and actress who were black. Blade is also first Marvel film that wasn’t awful, and that movie, not X-Men, also should comended for jumpstarting the current golden age of comic book movies. Blade wasn’t also the first black superhero adapted from comics. We had DC’s Steel and Image’s Spawn make a feature appearancef first. Also, Meteor Man is technically the first black superhero on film, even if he was an original hero for film.
Black Panther is the first superhero film with a majority black cast and a black director. Black Panther himself is also the first black superhero to appear in mainstream comic books, so this movies release is culturally important and exciting! It helps looks really, really good! No surprise, since Ryan Coogler is easily one of the best up and coming directors.
I’m so excited for this movie! It’s been a long time that I’ve been this pumped for a superhero film
