Black Panther hit theaters just over a year ago and upon release, there was quite a bit for Marvel fans to talk about. Even before the film hit theaters, audiences were falling in love with its costume designs, as seen in the trailer. Thanks to the incredible work by the film’s crew, the Disney adventure movie has won an award at the Oscars for Best Costume Design.
Black Panther costume designer Ruth E. Carter accepted the award at the Oscars this evening. Carter triumphed over other nominees such as fellow Disney film Mary Poppins Returns, fellow Best Picture nominee The Favourite, Netflix’s The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, and the critically-acclaimed period drama Mary Queen of Scots to win the award.
Although T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman) fell victim to Thanos’ (Josh Brolin) devastating attack at the end of Avengers: Infinity War, the Wakandan hero will return in Avengers: Endgame later this year, as well as an upcoming sequel to Black Panther.

After the death of his father, T’Challa returns home to the African nation of Wakanda to take his rightful place as king. When a powerful enemy suddenly reappears, T’Challa’s mettle as king — and as Black Panther — gets tested when he’s drawn into a conflict that puts the fate of Wakanda and the entire world at risk.
