The biggest superhero movie of all time. The third biggest movie ever. And undoubtedly the biggest movie of the year, Black Panther lands on Blu-ray May 15, 2018 after landing on Digital HD a week earlier on May 8th. After reviving the Rocky series with Creed, Ryan Coogler made the biggest splash imaginable, living T’Challa as a minor character in Marvel’s vast roster to a bonafide cultural phenomenon, one that has captivated audiences and made “Wakanda Forever” a rallying cry for people of all walks of life.
Black Panther will land on home video right as the Marvel Cinematic Universe unleashes its biggest film yet with Avengers: Infinity War, which will feature Chadwick Boseman‘s Black Panther as well as Letita Wright‘s scene stealing Shuri and Danai Gurira’s Okoye. I think it’s telling that this edition is going to land on store shelves and digital retailers after the release of Infinity War, perhaps suggesting that some of the disc’s special features will provide slight hints as to the future of the MCU.
