Anticipation is running high for Black Panther, which is why it’s projected to become one of the highest-grossing movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Getting T’Challa’s story onto the big screen has been a long and arduous journey. Columbia Pictures attempted an adaptation in the early 1990s with Wesley Snipes in the title role, but that project ended up falling by the wayside. Although the Black Panther film rights returned to Marvel in 2005, it’s taken the studio years to bring the character onto the big screen. Chadwick Boseman made his debut as T’Challa, aka Black Panther, in Anthony and Joe Russo’s Captain America: Civil War in 2016, and he’s slated to reprise his role in the Russo’s Avengers: Infinity War this summer. But before he joins the Earth’s mightiest heroes in their fight against the Mad Titan Thanos, Boseman will be appearing in Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther solo movie later this month. Audiences are so excited for the movie that Black Panther has already broken all ticket presale records, and it’s projected to earn $150 million over its opening weekend, thus giving Deadpool‘s February opening record a run for its money. However, Black Panther isn’t expected to just earn big initially and drop off. In fact, it might just become one of the MCU’s highest-grossing releases ever.
