Marvel's Black Panther

Ruth Carter is the costume designer for the Marvel's Black Panther movie. She talks about how she grounded the movie's futuristic look in the history and traditions of tribes from all over Africa.

'Black Panther' new superhero epic has the biggest-ever budget of any Hollywood movie with a black cast, and is freighted with all the hopes and anxieties that come along with it.

Advance ticket sales for super-hero movies are always super-sized, but even accounting for that, Marvel's Black Panther is breaking records. Civic groups have been buying out whole screenings so that African-American children can experience the film together.

The new film imagines an African nation, rich in minerals and unscarred by colonialism and slavery; Coogler says he traveled to the continent to dig into the question of what it means to be African.

Early reviews call the film "exhilarating," but also "groundbreaking."

Ryan Coogler's film, set largely in the richly imagined Afro-futurist utopia of Wakanda, is by turns intimate, immediate and — most importantly — new.

Director Ryan Coogler and TDE producer Sounwave discuss the origin and evolution of Black Panther's hip-hop soundtrack.

Lamar and Top Dawg Entertainment president Anthony "Top Dawg" Tiffith were handpicked by 'Black Panther' director Ryan Coogler to curate the soundtrack from which the song comes.

Coates has written a new series of Black Panther comics telling the story of an African prince turned superhero. "Comic book heroes are like our mythology," he says. "They're our Greek gods."
