* Back in 2012, Lupita Nyong'o and Winston Duke were classmates at Yale, and went to see ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}'' together. After the movie, they both said they'd like to do something like that one day, but were skeptical that they'd ever get the chance. Five years on, they are indeed starring in a big budget Marvel movie together, and Duke even got to reprise his role in ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar''.
* Adding to that, Duke says he was so overcome with emotion when he got the part that he actually cried.

There was much squee'ing in particular over how [[SoMyKidsCanWatch black kids could finally have their own superheroes.]]

** Music/KendrickLamar and his TDE record label bought out 5 showing in 3 different theatres so that kids living in LA housing projects could see the movie.
* Aside from the usual DC/Marvel FandomRivalry rearing its ugly head again and some fans [[InsaneTrollLogic claiming it's not progressive]], ''Film/WonderWoman2017'' Creator/PattyJenkins [[http://comicbook.com/dc/2017/10/18/wonder-woman-patty-jenkins-black-panther-trailer/ expressing excitement for]] ''Black Panther'' is not only sweet but also a good "shut up" at those critics.

* Everett Ross saving Nakia and T'challa deciding to halt the chase for Klae in order to heal his wounds.

* T'Challa and Shuri sharing a SecretHandshake. Between the film's DarkerAndEdgier tone and the tragic figure T'Challa was portrayed as in ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar'', it's quite welcomed to see the future king of Wakanda behave casually with a personal confidant.

* Okoye fondly remaking "we are home" as she and the rest of the Royal Entourage arrive back at Wakanda; especially since she's so serious, we see her happy returning home.

* Adding to that, Duke says he was so overcome with emotion when he got the part that he actually cried.
