At the Hollywood Film Awards which will take place on the fourth of November, Black Panther will be receiving 2018’s award.
“Black Panther became a cultural phenomenon that has broken boundaries and created a movement, gracing the cover of Time magazine,” the HFA said in a statement. “Black Panther had the highest-grossing non-sequel opening weekend of all time, showing that diversity and representation in front and behind the camera can equal global box-office success.”
The movie will also be honoured with the Hollywood Production Design Award.
The news comes just a few weeks after it was announced that Ryan Coogler had signed on for a return to direct the sequel. Black Panther had the highest-grossing opening weekend of all time for a non-sequel film, raking in $241.9 million.
