Chapter 8

The Black Panther suit, which forms from a necklace and absorbs kinetic energy,

is a marvel of technology. On set, Chadwick Boseman wore an incredibly detailed,

practical suit that gave the character a sense of reality. However, all the magic—the

purple glowing lines, the impact absorption effect, and the suit's very formation—was added

digitally. The practical suit was merely a canvas on which the special effects artists

painted their masterpiece.
