Celebrities Can't Contain Their Excitement For Black Panther and Its Historic Success

Congrats to the entire #blackpanther team! Because of you, young people will finally see superheroes that look like them on the big screen. I loved this movie and I know it will inspire people of all backgrounds to dig deep and find the courage to be heroes of their own stories.

One of the best things you can do for yourself and/or the ones you love is purchase some #BlackPanther tix. I know it’s expensive to go to the theater, but its worth it for this one. You will exit forever impacted.

The trailers for Black Panther don't even begin to do the movie justice. This is easily one of the best Marvel films I've ever seen. #BlackPanther

I want to share something that Nelson Mandela said to me. . He said, “With the type of fame that you have attained it is important when you encounter your fans that you — Reach Your Hand Out and let them Feel Your Flesh. You have to prove to them that you are REAL — because people can not aspire to anything they do not believe is Real.” . So I say to you, Congratulations! Enjoy this Transcendent Moment. Go into the streets... Touch them... Let them know that you are real! . @chadwickboseman, @michaelbjordan @lupitanyongo @letitiawright @danielkaluuya @im.angelabassett #blackpanther . With Pure Delight WILL :-)

So.....#BlackPanther rocked my brain!! Besides the unbelievably inspiring social commentary and visuals, I was most impressed by the portrayal of women. THIS is how you represent women in film: strong, smart, funny, devoted…so multi-faceted. I loved it! pic.twitter.com/ufBNLEfw6W

Black Panther. So very good. I cheered and laughed and pumped my fist. I’ve never seen a super hero movie like it. Everybody involved with it deserves a medal and a high five.

Black Panther is more than a movie, it’s a movement. If you can be a hero in someone’s life, be one. #wakandaforever✊🏾 #BlackPantherIsMoreThanAMovie #BlackPantherChallenge pic.twitter.com/ZshYRwe89t

#BlackPanther making all the money in the world is the perfect way to start this week. I cannot get over this film. I am so excited to see it again and again.

— Josh Gad (@joshgad) February 19, 2018

Saw #BlackPanther last night. Wonderful that a mega-budget super hero movie has finally been made written/directed by and starring black people. But movie is exceptional for far more reasons than that. Plot, themes, heartfelt emotion, all outstanding.

Just left the “Black Panther” premiere if you don’t go see it I can’t be friends with you!!! IT WAS EXCELLENT, MOTIVATING, FUNNY AND JUST ALL AROUND FUCKING DOPE!!!
