Black Panther
Black Panther is an action-packed Marvel superhero film rated PG-13, following T'Challa as he claims the throne of the advanced African nation of Wakanda and battles a formidable villain. The film carries strong positive themes around leadership, family, and responsibility, but features sustained and sometimes brutal action violence throughout its 134-minute runtime.
Most comfortably suits ages 12 and up; mature 10–11 year olds who already enjoy PG-13 Marvel films may be ready with a parent alongside.
