The new spot is counting down the 10 remaining days until Black Panther is released into theaters and calling on audiences to “respect the throne.”
You can watch the spot above.
Black Panther is currently projected for an opening weekend at the box office of up to $150 million. The film was voted the most-anticipated solo movie debut of 2018 and the second-most-anticipated movie of the year overall.
Black Panther will be the first Marvel Cinematic Universe film headlined by a black superhero and features a mostly black cast. Some of the film’s stars have discussed its cultural significance.
“I’m excited for what Black Panther is about to do, not just for young black boys and girls, but for everyone,” said Letitia Wright, who plays Shuri. “There’s a black superhero, but then we’re going to have more Asian superheroes and more from India. The solution to the problem being: We don’t have enough of this, so we’re going to make more. I’m excited!”
Lupita Nyong’o, who plays Nakia, said, “In Kenya, I grew up watching Mexican soaps, Australian soaps, and American stuff. I didn’t feel like TV was so diverse — but I just took it in stride. What’s really exciting about this is if I can project my humanity onto people who don’t look like me, from cultures that aren’t like mine, why on earth shouldn’t it be the same in reverse? What we’re talking about is the prominence of this particular film and how it is entering into a more mainstream cultural consciousness.”
