Marvel's Black Panther has been honored by the American Film Institute as one of the 10 "culturally and artistically significant" films of 2018.

Featuring a largely African setting and a primarily black cast, director Ryan Coogler's Black Panther was a huge box office success, grossing more than $1.3 billion worldwide. Critical acclaim has also been building steadily, with Disney launching an Academy Awards campaign in 16 categories, including Best Picture. Black Panther was honored in November with the Hollywood Film Award, and received recognition at the People's Choice Awards.
