After shattering several box office records in North America and other circuits, Chadwick Boseman's Black Panther is now achieving milestones at the Chinese box office. In just two days, the Marvel superhero flick has earned closer to $50 million in China. The film has crushed the simultaneous releases by a huge margin. It is all set to achieve the $100 million mark by tomorrow at the box office.

The original "Black Panther" movie, which stars Chadwick Boseman as T'Challa and his titular alter-ego, may have only just hit screens in February, but Feige (Marvel Studios Boss) has confirmed a sequel will be coming too, reports ew.com. When asked what he could reveal about "Black Panther 2", the 44-year-old: "Nothing specific to reveal, other than to say we absolutely will do that." He further added, "One of the favourite pastimes at Marvel Studios is sitting around on a Part One and talking and dreaming about what we would do in a Part Two. There have been plenty of those conversations as we were putting together the first 'Black Panther'. We have ideas and a pretty solid direction on where we want to head with the second one."

Black Panther is among the first films by the house of Marvel Studios which predominantly has a black cast and also shows a number of strong women of substance who work as the protagonist T'Challa's allies. Coming to the domestic market, Black Panther has crossed Rs 32 crore mark and crushed many Bollywood films at the box office.

Jordan, Lupita Nyong’o, Danai Gurira, Martin Freeman, Daniel Kaluuya, Letitia Wright, Winston Duke, Angela Bassett, Forest Whitaker, and Andy Serkis in pivotal roles.
