With Kendrick Lamar leading production duties for the movie’s soundtrack, Black Panther is the first Marvel film to feature a black superhero, played by actor Chadwick Boseman, and also features a majority all black cast leading the flick.

As the movie has already broken records at the box office for pre-sale tickets, the entire cast made a statement by coordinating their red carpet looks to reflect colorful, African-themed fashion.
From Grammy winner Donald Glover, to Angela Bassett, the star-studded event didn’t miss a beat with the statement fashion. Oscar Nominee and star of Black Panther Daniel Kaluuya talked with Variety about the importance of the film.
