Marvel's master of alliteration took to Twitter to express his excitement for the upcoming Black Panther movie and publicly endorse Chadwick Boseman for the role. Stan "The Man" Lee wrote, "In 1966 we brought Black Panther to the pages of Marvel… Now this talented young man brings him to the silver screen! You have my respect!"
Black Panther wrapped filming back in April so it's unlikely Stan was on set to film a cameo for the film. It's possible the two are catching up ahead of the Extraordinary: Stan Lee event next week which will honor the Marvel icon.
Black Panther is slated to hit theaters on February 16, 2018.
“Black Panther” follows T’Challa who, after the events of “Captain America: Civil War,” returns home to the isolated, technologically advanced African nation of Wakanda to take his place as King. However, when an old enemy reappears on the radar, T’Challa’s mettle as King and Black Panther is tested when he is drawn into a conflict that puts the entire fate of Wakanda and the world at risk.
