'Black Panther' Director Ryan Coogler Pens Thank You Letter

"Filmmaking is a team sport," he says. "Our team was made up amazing people from all over the world who believed in this story. Deep down we all hoped that people would come to see a film about a fictional country on the continent of Africa, made up of a cast of people of African descent. Never in a million years did we imagine that you all would come out this strong."

Thank YOU Ryan and co for giving a people and a generation a new hero to aspire to be like, and one of the strongest casts of women ever put on film in a superhero flick.

Wakanda Forever indeed.
