I have often heard that directors are very attached to their movies, but when I got to sit down with ‘Black Panther’ director Ryan Coogler, I got a better insight of what it means to nurture a project and make it into a huge film.

For Coogler, Marvel’s ‘Black Panther’ is a very special movie. Every scene that he has shot is very close to his heart. From deciding the cast, to how he would want to proceed with the film, Coogler had a very clear view.
While for many, ‘Black Panther’ might have made his debut on-screen just two years back, for the director he was always around. Talking exclusively to MensXP he said, “For me, he was always around in the comic books. And I think he is such an interesting hero. We have been planning to make this film for a while. I think it is definitely time for him to have his movie to have his turn.”

He is someone who understands the responsibility he is given,” the director said.
