Marvel fans have been celebrating the release of Black Panther for nearly a week now -- and it looks like even Sean "Diddy" Combs is getting in on the fun.

Over the weekend, TMZ asked the rapper and entrepreneur what he thought of Black Panther's incredible success at the box office. As Diddy got into his car, he enthusiastically answered "Hell yeah, I'm down for more Black Panther!"

It's safe to say that plenty of people share Diddy's sentiment, as Black Panther has already broken a profound number of records so far. At the moment, the film is ranked as the "best movie of all time" by Rotten Tomatoes, with critics and fans alike wondering when they will get to see certain characters next.

While many had a feeling that Black Panther would be a phenomenon, it appears that the level of success took the cast and crew by surprise.

"Never in a million years did we imagine that you all would come out this strong." director Ryan Coogler wrote in a recent statement. "It still humbles me to think that people care enough to spend their money and time watching our film — but to see people of all backgrounds wearing clothing that celebrates their heritage, taking pictures next to our posters with their friends and family, and sometimes dancing in the lobbies of theaters — often moved me and my wife to tears... Thank you for giving our team of filmmakers the greatest gift: The opportunity to share this film, that we poured our hearts and souls into, with you."

So, with Black Panther's success only seeming to grow, it definitely doesn't feel too early to talk "more Black Panther", and what exactly fans would like to see next. So who knows? Maybe Diddy could have some sort of involvement in Black Panther's sequel (or at least, the next installment of its highly-popular soundtrack).

Black Panther is in theaters now.
