It looks like Wakanda is coming to Washington, D.C. as the National Museum of African American History and Culture has acquired a couple objects from Ryan Coogler’s groundbreaking film, “Black Panther.”
According to a news report released by the Smithsonian, the objects include, “the hero costume worn by actor Chadwick Boseman; a shooting script signed by Ryan Coogler (co-writer; director), Kevin Feige (producer, president of Marvel Studios), Nate Moore (executive producer) and Joe Robert Cole (co-writer; producer); two pages of spec script; and 24 high-resolution production photographs.”
Since its February release, “Black Panther” has crossed the billion-dollar mark at the global box office and broke several records. From earning the top-grossing opening weekend film with a predominately Black cast, to largest opening weekend for a Black director, to the nation’s highest grossing superhero movie – and that’s just to name a few.
The National Museum of African American History and Culture has yet to announce when the items will go on display, but let’s just say, we’re already excited to see Black Panther’s vibranium suit in person.
