I'm sick of the way reviewers keep calling this the first black superhero film. It's the sixth, at best. In 1997 there was Spawn, starring Michael Jai White, based on Image Comics' character Spawn. In 1998 there was Blade, starring Wesley Snipes. Blade is a bona fide Marvel superhero and part of the regular Marvel superhero comics universe. So while Black Panther might be the first MCU black superhero film, it's not even the first Marvel black superhero film. And Blade had two sequels, in 2002 and 2004. I'm a fan of the Blade movies myself, and the spinoff tv show. And there's also Catwoman in 2004, starring Halle Berry as a black version of that character. So no way is Black Panther the first.
