Black Panther is nothing short of a phenomenon. The latest installment in the wildly successful Marvel movie series, it has become the second-highest grossing four-day opening in movie history, raking in $242 million. The film has been praised by critics and received a 97 percent rating on review site Rotten Tomatoes.
