Although already on Netflix and DVD, Disney’s CEO Bob Iger announced Monday Ryan Coogler‘s Black Panther (fresh off their 2019 SAG award win for Best Ensemble in a Motion Picture) would return to AMC theaters and fans of the highest grossing film of 2019 will get to see it absolutely free.

“Black Panther is groundbreaking for many reasons, including the rich diversity of voices behind its success. The story also showcases the power of knowledge to change the world for the better, and the importance of ensuring everyone has access to it. We’re proud to provide thousands of free screenings of Black Panther in hopes it will continue to inspire audiences,” he said.
