The verdict? It’s lit.

Lupita N’yongo is also reportedly in negotiations as she is speculated to be cast opposite Boseman as the Black Panther’s love interest.

While movies featuring black superheroes aren’t too much of a novice idea (see Blade, Storm, War Machine, etc.), a film specifically centered on a black superhero with a predominantly Black cast is what’s caused such a buzz with Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige stating that “90 percent of the cast is either African or African-American.”

A whole two years before the film is set for release, the Twittersphere has wasted no time on making it a trending topic, and the result is an anticipated mix of hilarity, honesty, and some good old-fashioned black pride. Check the best tweets about Black Panther by far.
