Just a few minutes of stunning cinematography, a powerful soundtrack and a star-studded cast raised the culture by 10 points — here’s what they had to say about it.

I really hope the energy of Black Panther 1 can be replicated because it was the BEST movie experience I’ve ever had, I just felt like black people were having so much fun. Like we were united in our element. 02:39 am – July 24, 2022 Twitter: @dansensolsens

No one ever came up to tell me that Marvel lost their sauce after that trailer. No one has ever come to tell me that Ryan Coogler isn’t a genius. No one has ever come up to tell me that Black Panther as a movie is overhyped. I feel like it’s 2018 all over again. I’m in awe 01:38 am – July 24, 2022 Twitter: @TheoriesByT

The fact that this movie is clearly called WAKANDA FOREVER and not ‘Black Panther 2’ 🤦🏽♀️ Anyway – I think we should actually dress in all white, in honor of Chadwick/T’Challa’s celebration of home/life. What do you think? 06:16 pm – 24 July 2022 Twitter: @robinthede
The happy hype surrounding the groundbreaking Black Panther: Wakanda Forever The trailer is palpable.

the trailer for WAKANDA FOREVER is a reminder that the best trailers work as great poems with audiovisual merits. 12:06 am – July 25, 2022 Marvel / Via Twitter: @metaplexmovies
Acknowledging the visual art of a two-minute clip of the film speaks to the well-deserved respect of the film and art department.

I have to hand it to the Wakanda Forever Art Dept. a group of true soldiers who did not give up, through many obstacles, great requests, many days and almost two years. We left our hearts on stage. For culture, for Chadwick! #WakandaForever 02:48 am – July 24, 2022 Twitter: @chinchilla1970

Ryan Coogler has only worked with female filmmakers for all of his feature films, which is a fun fact. Rachel Morrison was the DP for FRUITVALE STATION and the first BLACK PANTHER while Maryse Alberti was the DP for CREED. 02:31 am – 24 July 2022 Twitter: @jumpedforjoi
The homage to Black Panther T’Challa makes the film one of the most beautiful tributes not only to the title hero but also to the spirit of the late Chadwick Boseman.

I’m glad Black Panther gives actors a chance to grieve on screen. Of course they will renew eventually, but everyone who worked on Chadwick’s cast and crew deserves the opportunity to honor Chadwick in the next BP film that was close to filming when he died. 03:53 pm – July 24, 2022 Twitter: @MatthewACerry
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever follows in the footsteps of the original film by bringing representation to cultures often overlooked in popular media and cinema.

Words cannot express how much this means to MANY people here, myself included. We get overshadowed all the time in these kinds of movies. It is always stereotyped. This is huge. HUGE. 🇲🇽 #WakandaForever 10:27 p.m. – July 25, 2022 @TheRealTCU / Via Twitter: @TheRealTCU

This Wakanda Forever trailer had me looking. Not just the grief of loss, but the moment of finally seeing my people represented. ❤️ I loved the way they portrayed America Chavez, but making Atlantis the Aztec empire just grossed me out. I’m ready. 09:21 pm – July 25, 2022 Marvel / Via Twitter: @DuchessODork

Tenoch huerta brewed as namor is great for all coffees and indigenous Mexicans. An actor who barely got roles in his country for these two reasons finally has this huge opportunity in one of the biggest media franchises in the world. this opens the door 04:42 am – July 24, 2022 Twitter: @redirewolf

Indigenous Guatemalan actress María Mercedes Coroy, who you may know from her great performances in LA LLORONA and IXCANUL, is also part of the cast of WAKANDA FOREVER playing Namor’s young mother 🇬🇹 09:47 pm – July 24, 2022 Marvel / Via Twitter: @Carlos_Film

Atlantis inspired by Aztec culture and Namor played by Mexican actor Tenoch Huerta in Black Panther Wakanda Forever is going to be the toughest shit Marvel has ever done 06:21 pm – July 24, 2022 Marvel/@historyoarmani2 / Via Twitter: @historyoarmani2

Power Black Panther holds, makes everyone emotional and in awe as well as mexicans and central americans giddy with the representation of indigenous mesoamerican culture🔥 I literally cried when I saw Namor, his costume and art are beautiful 🥺 # WakandaForever 03:10 pm – July 24, 2022 Marvel / Via Twitter: @616faltine
His music Black panther it has a life of its own, so it’s a no-brainer that everyone has high hopes for the new soundtrack.

I don’t know if I’ll be doing artwork for the sequel, but I can’t stress enough how much of an honor it was to do the album art for the first movie. I truly believe the sequel will be one of the most profound movies Marvel has ever released. #WakandaForever 11:49 am – July 25, 2022 @NikDraperIvey / Via Twitter: @NikDraperIvey
