Everyone: this new Black Panther trailer is absolute fire! One of my favorite things about the world of Black Panther is that the tech is so incredibly advanced that it almost makes Tony Stark look like he’s playing with tinker toys. This trailer gives a taste of how incredibly advanced Wakanda is and how Black Panther is the hero we all need right now. There is so much black excellence in this trailer that I have watched it 5 times now and I still can’t handle it. It looks so good! Watch for yourself:
Black Panther is in theatres on February 16th of next year. Find all of our Black Panther coverage here.
