Meanwhile, before the movie’s launch in cinemas in London last week, Kenyan photographer Osborne Macharia, was commissioned by Marvel to create an “exclusive art piece” and given the creative license to experiment.

 

In a Facebook post, Macharia said the project was for him, “A proud moment to be part of the most important Afrofuturistic movie in my generation.”

Macharia created a project titled Ilgelunot, which translates to “The Chosen Ones” in the Maasai language. Each piece tells the story of three elders of Maasai origin who were Black Panther’s most trusted advisors played in the movie by Chadwick Boseman.

Macharia also created a custom typography inspired by geometric tribal patterns for the photo project.

 

The movie which was Marvel's first film directed by an African-American has raked in an estimated $192 million in North America alone, last weekend.

If you wondering what that means, it means that 'Black Panther' is the fifth biggest opening of all time.

The movie starring Chadwick Boseman and Michael B. Jordan broke multiple box office records too, stealing the record for the largest opening for an African-American director.
