We are just 3 weeks away from the release of Marvel Studio’s next film, Black Panther. Black Panther is the first superhero movie to be lead by an African American, with Chadwick Boseman playing an African king, and director Ryan Coogler (Creed) had its world premiere on Monday night in Hollywood.
The film which had no social media embargo released its first reactions to the film. After the credits ran, early reaction to the film began to be released and it seems like all early reactions are praising the Marvel film for celebrating black excellence at a level never seen before in the genre. Black Panther is sure to be a box office sensation but now is set to be a critical darling as well.
BLACK PANTHER SURPASSED STAR WARS. With gratitude, awe, respect and invigoration, sincerely,

#BlackPanther is simply awesome. Extremely bold and as touching as it is thrilling, it boasts GOT-style intrigue, crazy innovative action and a deep bench of memorable characters. Top 5 all-time Marvel movie, easy. More later. pic.twitter.com/mmz8Nuf1sy

And the representation of Black women in #BlackPanther made me feel seen. Seen in a way other superhero movies have not done well. pic.twitter.com/xrzVP5SLu6

BLACK PANTHER is just astonishing. Ryan Coogler has harnessed the superhero movie — and a really fun one! — to explore profound ideas and create vivid images of black excellence that so rarely ever make it to a giant Hollywood movie. Wow wow wow!

#BlackPanther is exceptional – the James Bond of the MCU. You've seen nothing like this in a superhero movie – it's bold, beautiful & intense, but there's a depth & spiritualness that is unlike anything Marvel has ever done. It's 100% African & it is dope af. pic.twitter.com/Z77IjnIjf2
