King of Congo is set to inspire and captivate the world. The soon-to-be-released movie, based on the memoir of Prince Arnold Kufulula, titled “King of Congo: Wolf of Congo”, is in a prime position to make Hollywood history with the incredible true story of the real-life Black Panther. In Wakanda, black audiences worldwide were shown the vision of the potential of Africa; little did they know that this fantastical African nation draws its inspiration from its real-life mirror in central Africa.
The story of the Black Panther series centers on T’Challa, king of Wakanda, the wealthiest fictional character in the Marvel universe. Unlike many other heroes, T’Challa inherits his mantle from his father T’Chaka (the previous king) and gains his powers—including super acute senses and enhanced strength and speed—from a combination of skill, divine favor, and a special herb.
Like the King of Wakanda, Prince Arnold, The Prince of Kinshasa (soon to be crowned The King this year) inherits the mantle of the Congolese Bapindi Kingdom from his grandfather. Prince Arnold comes from, arguably, the richest country in the world.
The Democratic Republic of Congo is considered the world’s richest country in terms of wealth in natural resources. Most of the raw mineral deposits remain untapped and are worth an estimated $24 trillion. These deposits include the world’s largest coltan reserves and considerable amounts of cobalt, resources that power the world; just like Wakanda’s Vibranium.
Though the country has dealt with multiple coups and interference by foreign interests groups, it’s a new generation of leaders has made it clear that DR Congo is, much like Wakanda, a nation built on African pride and built for its people and for Africa’s greatness.
