Black Panther: The start of a Hollywood culture shift?

Marvel's Black Panther could be be the start of a Hollywood culture shift and may signal the arrival of afrofuturism as a cultural phenomenon. Critics have chastised Hollywood's superhero movies for under-representing people of colour and restricting them to minor roles — Black Panther bucks the trend with its black director and a nearly all-black cast. Advocates are ecstatic and see its promotion as part of "afrofuturism": a growing genre aimed at changing the perception of black culture and how it's portrayed.
