On Monday, the chief executive of the Walt Disney Co. hinted at a new theme park ride to represent the record-breaking film, “Black Panther.”

In the wake of the film’s success, Iger believes there may be room for a new “Black Panther” ride at the park, and at the very least much more merchandise for the fans and consumers.

“No, we haven’t had a chance to build a ride,” he said. “Though I’m sure there are people who are working on it.”
“I pretty much guarantee that this coming Halloween and even Christmas, you know you’ll be seeing a lot of Black Panther merchandise,” Iger said, adding that the film is on track to becoming the company’s 12th billion dollar franchise.
