Black Panther (film)/Trivia: Difference between revisions

Line 20:

* Chadwick Boseman in an interview stated that his reasoning to use an African accent.

{{quote|"Colonialism in Africa would have it that, in order to be a ruler, his education comes from Europe. I wanted to be completely sure that we didn't covey that idea because that would be counter to everything that Wakanda is about. It's supposed to be the most technologically advanced nation on the planet. If it's supposed to not have been conquered - Which means that advancement has happened without colonialism tainting it, poisoning the well of it, without stopping it or disrupting it - Then there's no way he would speak with a European accent."}}

* Both [[Lupita Nyong'o]] and [[Winston Duke]], who both play as Nakia and M'Baku, were just Yale School of Drama students, who saw the first [[Avengers]] movie when it was released. They were so awestruck that they wish that they'll star in a similar film in the future.

* The costuming department deliberately made that three out of every five Wakandans go barefoot.

* The filmmakers got inspired by different African tribes and created unique blend of them to form the fictional Wakandan tribes:

** The Golden Tribe uses black motifs and a continental sun symbol that's found throughout Africa. Which also has panther themes and designs.

** The Border Tribe were inspired by the Lesotho architecture and language, and their motifs are blue and wood. Even wearing Basotho blankets (The reasons are that there's a Basotho tribe that's lviing in Lesotho).

** The River Tribe were inspired by a combo of the Surma and Mursi Ethiopian tribes.

** The Mining Tribe was inspired by both the Himba and Maasai tribes of Africa's southern regions.

** The Merchant Tribe were inspired by the Tuareg tribe, who lives in the Sahara.

** Last but not least, the Jabari Tribe were inspired by the tribes of Africa's western regions, mainly the Bari, Igbo, and Dogon tribes.
