Black Panther figure joins London Madame Tussauds for re-opening

LONDON: Marvel superhero Black Panther went on display at Madame Tussauds in London on Friday, the latest addition at the wax figure museum ahead of its re-opening next week.

The king of the fictional Wakanda is dressed in his distinctive Black Panther suit, with an inbuilt "vibranium effect" which makes the outfit light up in purple when visitors touch it. Vibranium is the metal mined in Wakanda in the Marvel comic. The figure joins the "Marvel’s Hall of Heroes" at the attraction, which re-opens its doors on Monday as England eases into the next phase out of lockdown.
