For Ruth E. Carter, the costume designer for “Black Panther,” it involved a Zulu hat and a 3-D printer. “I really wanted this movie,” Ms. Carter, 57, said. Textiles were sourced to Ghana, but many African fabrics are now printed in Holland; Ms. Carter rejected those. (Black, red and green are also the colors of the Pan-African flag.) For Mr. Coogler, blue “represented the police and authority.” She dressed Michael B. Jordan, as Black Panther’s rival, Erik Killmonger, in it.
