Marvel’s Black Panther is Getting A Jewelry Line
Black Panther is getting its own line of jewelry from well-known artist and designer Douriean Fletcher. Opening another year for the superhero film genre is Marvel Studios’ 18th project since they first started the Marvel Cinematic Universe in 2008. The movie will reunite fans with Captain America: Civil War standout, Chadwick Boseman as the new king of Wakanda and the country’s protector.
Not much is known regarding the narrative specifics of Black Panther, but solely based on the aesthetic, casting and musical choices that director Ryan Coogler has chosen for the project, it’s clear that he mined a great deal of inspiration from Africa. Even the film’s production designer, Hannah Beachler, went on a location scouting trip to further ensure that they are able to encapsulate the feel and vibe of a real African nation. This is part of the filmmaker’s conscious effort to make sure they’re properly representing the continent, its culture, and people.

A report from CBR shares that the LA-based jewelry designer is curating a special set of jewelry like beaded bracelets, necklaces and a pair of earrings. Granted that Fletcher also has some background when it comes to costume-making, she also has a snapback hat as part of the collection. Those who are interested in nabbing some of the pieces, presale of the items are already available on the artist’s official website until January 6.
Prior to her involvement with the Marvel Studios project, Fletcher has already been a proponent of creating pieces that mine inspiration from the rich culture of that part of the continent. Her work has prompted her to travel throughout Tanzania in the hopes of immersing herself in the local scene, which in turn could help her craft jewelries that truly represent the aesthetic and vibe of that pocket of the world. Aside from being tie-in merchandise for the upcoming film, the jewelry line also aims to promulgate the South African region, where the fictional nation of Wakanda is supposedly located, contrary to where the rest of the world thought of it to be in South America.
In her website, Fletcher describes her creations as “unique products of her creative process in which she explores cultural identity, femininity, spirituality and divine power” — all of which are expected to be also touched on Black Panther. What’s more interesting is that she also calls her designs to bring forth “the awareness of an ancient yet futuristic opulence” which is exactly encapsulates the juxtapositions of Wakanda — a country deeply rooted in its traditions but continues to grow in terms of technical innovation.

Black Panther's comic book history unfolds in new behind-the-scenes video
http://ew.com/movies/2018/01/03/black-panther-comic-book-history-behind-the-scenes-video/
For nearly 52 years, the historic first black superhero has stood as a symbol of power, hope, and possibility, and when the Black Panther movie opens next month, Marvel will begin a new chapter for T’Challa and the people of Wakanda.
But first, filmmaker Ryan Coogler, Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige and Stan Lee, who co-created Panther with the late Jack Kirby, are taking a look back on the history of this groundbreaking hero in a new video exploring how the comics have inspired the Feb. 16 movie.
“You want the wow factor, but it’s not just stuff blowing up. It’s definitely a character piece,” says Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman.
The video begins with the Marvel Cinematic Universe version of the character, who first turned up as a conflicted third party caught between the warring factions of good guys in 2016’s Captain America: Civil War.
We know T’Challa and his fellow Wakandan warriors continue the good fight in May’s Avengers: Infinity War, so it’s a safe bet that Black Panther will be saving the world a lot as we venture into the next several phases of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Going to be great.
There’s a Black Panther party going on all around the country.
Superhero fans, movie fans and especially connoisseurs of black culture — American and African — are eagerly awaiting the debut of Marvel’s “Black Panther” movie starring comic books’ first black superhero with an enthusiasm not often seen in American cinema.
“Black Panther” viewing parties are being scheduled around the country for its February release, smack dab in the middle of Black History Month. Clothing lines are being designed around the bright colors and Afrofuturism styles of Wakanda. And Grammy-winning rapper Kendrick Lamar was just named to produce the soundtrack.
And people are already calling the still-unseen movie one of the most important of 2018, despite the fact that the character that has only appeared once on the silver screen and until now, has not occupied the same pantheon as stalwarts like Superman, Batman and Spiderman.
But for some fans, none of that matters.
“As the father of two little black boys I’m super excited to have a superhero that looks like them on screen,” said Glen Greezy of New York City, who plans to hit Times Square and see the movie on opening weekend along with more than 900 of his friends on Facebook.
“Other superheroes are great and I see their movies too, but something about having a black man as the main character in a superhero movie is extra appealing.”
“Black Panther,” starring Chadwick Boseman as the eponymous superhero, opens on February 16, picking up the adventures of the newly crowned African king and superhero who debuted in 2016′s “Captain America: Civil War.”
Existing in the same shared universe as Iron Man, the Hulk, Captain America and Spiderman, the Panther, however, the Black Panther’s adventures center around his futuristic hidden homeland of Wakanda, considered to be the most technologically advanced nation on Marvel’s earth. In the new movie, T’Challa, the Black Panther’s real name, must battle long-time adversaries with the aid of his all-female bodyguards and a CIA agent to maintain control of his country and prevent a world war.
Directed by Ryan Coogler, it also has an all-star cast including Angela Bassett, Lupita Nyong’o, Michael B. Jordan, Forest Whitaker, Danai Gurira, Sterling K. Brown and more.
For many people, the Black Panther movie isn’t just a movie; it’s a symbol of change.
“‘Black Panther’ is just going to be really special. ... I don’t plug into film anticipation. But I can feel it. A lot of my friends have asked me to go to the premiere! Everyone in my network is excited about it, and you can feel it when they’re not,” Daniel Kaluuya, the “Get Out” star who also is featured in “Black Panther,” told The Associated Press recently.
The internet explodes each time a new trailer, poster or piece of artwork debuts from the movie, sparking hashtags like #BlackPantherSoLit and #WelcometoWakanda. Twitter declared that Black Panther was one of the most tweeted-about movies of 2017, and the only movie on the list that hadn’t premiered yet.
“Do we really have to wait until February!” lamented Elwood L. Robinson, chancellor of Winston-Salem State University in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, on Twitter while sporting a Black Panther T-shirt.
Groups like MALIK Fraternity Inc., the first collegiate fraternity founded on the concept of African fraternalism, in Charlotte, North Carolina and the Intentional Community Building Collective and Leaders of a Beautiful Struggle in Baltimore, are assembling discussion panels on the movie’s themes.
Created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, the minds behind Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four and other Marvel comics, the Black Panther holds a unique position in comic book history. While not the first black comic book hero — the first black character to headline his own comic book was Dell Comics’ Western hero and gunfighter Lobo in 1965 — the Black Panther is considered the first black superhero, introduced as a supporting character in Fantastic Four in 1966 and later featured in his own book.
There has been a renaissance with black superheroes on television as well. “Black Lightning” debuts on the CW on January 16 featuring an educator who gains electrical powers and becomes a superhero. “Luke Cage,” a television show about a former convict with superhuman strength and unbreakable skin, premiered on Netflix in 2016 and will begin a second season later this year.
Cage debuted in a self-titled comic book “Luke Cage, Hero for Hire” in 1972 with an exaggerated Afro and a catchphrase “Sweet Christmas!” He was followed by Black Lightning in a DC comic book in 1977.
There have been other black superhero movies — Wesley Snipes starred as the vampire slayer Blade in one of the first Marvel movies, and Robert Townsend starred in a comedic parody of superheroes in “Meteor Man” — but their movies did not bring out the enthusiasm that the Black Panther is seeing.
“What is significant now, however, is that this age of convergence of film franchises with social media, a black superhero movie with an almost all-black cast conveys power, that we have arrived. It’s evolution,” said Christopher Chambers, a Georgetown University media studies professor.

“You see performances as an actor, and as a fan – you look at Heath Ledger’s performance, say, in The Dark Knight, and it’s like, 'Wow,'" Jordan told Empire. "I want to try to get something like that. You want Michael Fassbender’s Magneto. Just trying to find my place amongst those roles, and strive for that, even if I don’t make it." - Michael B. Jordan
