The Ryan Coogler-directed Marvel film is a cultural phenomenon that for some is way more than a movie about a guy in a suit who has to fight another guy in a suit for the throne of a fictional African country. It's layers have layers, and audiences have been enjoying every second of it multiple times over since it's release in mid-February. 

From box office records, to trends and fads that it has inspired, to social reactions, here are 40 ways that Black Panther has impacted the world outside of Wakanda.
