The first teaser of Ryan Coogler’s film, which stars Chadwick Boseman, hinted at a film where action is king but ideas of colonialism and monarchy also feature. The movie will premiere in the Netherlands on February 14th. Ta-Nehisi Coates, author of ‘Between the World and Me’, began writing new editions of the Black Panther comic in 2016 and promised an ‘upheaval’ of the character, who first appeared in 1966 and was the first mainstream black superhero. The former Guardian columnist Roxane Gay has also written the comic.
