Abstract
As the highest grossing film of the year, Marvel Studio’s film Black Panther has reignited interest in black cinema unlike any other film in history. Since its release in February of 2018, Black Panther has sparked a great deal of discussion on many fronts—including as a marketing success and the range of iconic black roles in the film. This presentation considers theological themes in the film, such as James Cone’s Black Liberation Theology and Womanist Theology in light of 21st Century controversies such as #MeToo and #Black Lives Matter. We resolve that textual analysis of black power in black cinema today is as relevant as it was in the early years of Cone and Stokely Carmichael.
