The latest entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is the much anticipated “Black Panther”. With a star-studded cast and Ryan Coogler (“Creed”, “Fruitvale Station”) at the helm, “Black Panther” promises to be a comic book movie, unlike anything we’ve seen before.
“Black Panther” also marks the first time in the new era of comic book movies (AKA Nolan’s “Batman Begins” and beyond), that the world will be treated to a comic book movie with lead by a black actor! #WhatATimeToBeAlive
The film had its world premiere on Monday night in Los Angeles (Tuesday morning MYT) — yes, we’re jealous AF — and critics’ early reactions just broke film Twitter.
RB3 from the Schmoes Know YouTube channel calls the movie “awe-inspiring”, saying that Michael B. Jordan’s “Killmonger is the best MCU villain since Loki.”
#BlackPanther is an inventive, spiritual, and socially conscious spin on the traditional Marvel origin story. The entire cast is great, the spectacle is awe-inspiring, and Killmonger is the best MCU villain since Loki.

Phil Owen, entertainment writer for The Wrap, even goes as far as to say that Michael B. Jordan’s Killmonger is comparable to Heath Ledger’s The Joker. HOLY SHIT!!!!

Jen Yamato, journalist for the LA Times:
BLACK PANTHER is incredible, kinetic, purposeful. A superhero movie about why representation & identity matters, and how tragic it is when those things are denied to people. The 1st MCU movie about something real; Michael B. Jordan’s Killmonger had me weeping and he’s the VILLAIN
