Excited is not even the word. I still remember the chill that ran down my spine when I saw the cast of the Black Panther film last year. It’s not only that the characters are african american but the caliber of actresses and actors is just incredible. As a brown girl growing up, a film like this would be life changing!
If you don’t understand the power of representation, imagine growing up never seeing a superhero who looks like you. When American Girl dolls came out I always picked Addy who had to escape slavery. But now kids have #BlackPanther’s Nakia, Shuri and Okoye. Dope on many levels.

I’m sad it took so long, but I am SO happy it’s finally here. I’ve got my tickets for Thursday the 15th and I’m so excited to see it!

- Gather Your Outfit: When you go out to the movie, make sure that you are READY for the premiere. That could mean anything to anyone, but I’ve heard rumblings of wearing traditional African clothing, to wearing all black. Whatever it is you want to do, is up to you. Dressing up for the movie makes the whole event so much more fun! Plus think of the awesome social media pics!
- Sponsor a teen: Do you know a teen that you can sponsor to see the film? Buy them a ticket! Tickets are on sale now at Fandango.com and have them be a part of the historic opening!
- Follow along on the hashtag and engage: The official hashtag for the Black Panther Movie is #BlackPanther. Check out the hashtag often on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram and engage with other excited fans. The social media footprint is being watched as well and we want to make sure that the impact is HUGE!
- Advocate for a Black Panther 2: Yes, I know, I haven’t even seen the new film, but I already want there to be a second movie. I want to show that there can be hit films with heroes of all colors, but especially a dominantly African American film.
- Explain the significance to your children: For us this is a big deal because let’s be honest the movie industry has come pretty far and this is a revolutionary event for us so let’s be sure to explain to them how big of a deal it is and WHY they should be excited too! The moment is history is simply too great to ignore!

What great ways to support the new Black Panther movie. I honestly can’t wait to see it here either and you just made me more excited reading your article for it now, too 🙂
As an African I’m just thrilled that some Africans were cast too. More so my fellow country woman Danai Gurira making Zimbabwe proud. I never knew the story before Captain America : Civil War
Girl I can’t wait! I will wait however until after the first week because it will be a madhouse when it comes out lol
I am sooooo excited for this movie! I’m hoping to get Thursday night tickets to see it – I should probably buy those immediately!
I’m meeting up with my best friends from college in Cleveland the weekend of the 16th and we are going to see the movie as part of our girls weekend. I already know it’s gonna be LIT!
#5 is a big one. I saw your title and thought, “Well I already bought my ticket and got a sitter so I’m doing well!” But it’s so much more than that. Scarlet usually sees MARVEL movies with us.. so I can’t wait until she can.
As a movie fan, I can’t wait to see this movie. I am gonna grab one ticket for me!
I know I’m late to this, but YES to all of it!! I made a point to explain to my son why the movie was so important. He said all his classmates were jealous that he went to see it on its first weekend. I will probably go see it again, I’m in love with Michael B Jordan.
