At least, that’s the sentiment we got from Black Lightning’s Cress Williams.
While Williams had nothing but kind things to say about Black Panther, the part of the movie that stood out to him specifically were the female characters.
“We’re now on the other side of the Olympics and awards season and all that, so I think we’ll see this kind of latter half what effect [Black Panther] had,” Williams said.
Williams recently told reporters that he took his family to see Black Panther in theaters, and he’s hopeful that the wild success of the film will draw more people to his own superhero series, Black Lighting.
