Most of Marvel Studios’ releases have already boogied off of Netflix and onto their new home on rival streamer Disney+, and the stragglers won’t be around for long. As of now, you can still catch Avengers: Infinity War, Ant-Man and the Wasp, and Black Panther on Netflix — but if you’re keen to relive King T’Challa’s awesome 2018 solo adventure, you’d better do it pretty soon.
Black Panther, in case you forgot, is a history-making film; it’s the first superhero movie to be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Picture, the first representative of its genre to score multiple Oscar wins (three), and the first comic book film by a black director, featuring a black protagonist (not to mention a majority black cast), to shatter the $1 billion mark at the worldwide box office.
You shouldn’t watch it again for these reasons, though; you should watch it again because it is freaking amazing. Star Chadwick Boseman gives a powerful, regal performance, his co-stars Danai Gurira and Letitia Wright deliver star-making turns, and Michael B. Jordan brings to life one of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s most complex villains to date. Black Panther is one of Mighty Marvel’s greatest films, and that is really saying something. Stream it on Netflix until March 3.
