Trivia: During the first few days of filming on the waterfall set, many of the actors and extras began to have difficulty keeping their eyes open, and began experiencing pain, irritation and discomfort. The crew at first suspected there was too much chlorine being used in the water, but they eventually realised what was actually going on... it was so bright on set due to light reflecting off the water, everyone's eyeballs were getting sunburned. The studio then had to buy sunglasses for everyone to wear in-between shots.

Trivia: Michael B. Jordan kept to himself during filming, to reflect Killmonger's relationship with the other characters.

Trivia: John Kani plays T'Chaka as an old man, while his son Atandwa Kani plays T'Chaka in his youth.

Trivia: Wakanda is shown on the map as where Southern Sudan is.

Trivia: This film sees Michael B. Jordan on a similar trajectory to Chris Evans. Both actors previously portrayed the Human Torch in much maligned Fantastic Four films, only to get redemption from fans and critics in the superhero genre as a whole for their roles in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Trivia: Wesley Snipes attempted to get a "Black Panther" movie made in the 90's. After issues finding a director and suitable script, as well as facing other hurdles with effects and costume design, he abandoned the project, and eventually pursued another Marvel character - Blade, which ended up turning into a popular film trilogy.

Trivia: "Wakanda" comes from the Kenyan Wakamba (or Kamba) tribe.

Trivia: Martin Freeman was asked how he felt being one of the few white actors and replied "You think, 'Right, this is what black actors feel like all the time.'"

Continuity mistake: Towards the end of the film: Killmonger is about to kill Shuri at the top of the mine shaft and Shuri is backing up. Her elbow goes over the edge, but in the next shot which is from over Killmonger's shoulder looking down at her, she is at least a foot away from the edge.

Erik Killmonger: Why, so you can lock me up? Nah. Just bury me in the ocean with my ancestors who jumped from ships, 'cause they knew death was better than bondage.

More quotes from Black Panther

Question: Did Erik know that Zuri was his Uncle James before Zuri told him he was the one responsible for his death?

Answer: Well he's not literally an uncle to Killmonger, but rather he saw him as a surrogate uncle when he was a kid because he was always by his father's side.

Phaneron

And yes, he did know.
