The Black Panther hype train is officially in motion following the Marvel film’s Los Angeles premiere on Monday night (29 January).
Much praise went to Coogler’s depiction of fictional country Wakanda while Jordan’s villain Erik Kilmonger has been branded the best since Loki.
Initial reactions have rather unanimously pitched Black Panther as a runaway success with those fortunate to have attended the premiere praising the film as one of Marvel’s greatest films to date.
Black Panther – which is expected to signal the start of the MCU’s long-mooted second phase – will be released in the UK on 12 February.
