Black Panther is breaking box office records and making history and it's clear now that Marvel's latest movie is important for a long list of reasons. Those are highlighted by Suicide Squad star Will Smith in the Instagram post below which sees the actor praise the movie's cast and crew before going on to explain why it nearly brought him to tears and why it should be a game-changer in Hollywood. 

"What you have done is spectacular," he says. "I watched the film a couple of days ago and damn near got brought to tears. You guys have challenged and potentially even shattered a lot of long-time, long-held, false Hollywood beliefs and paradigms. I just wanna say congratulations to you. I'm proud, I'm excited, damn near giddy. Congrats, ya'll." So, when is Smith going to join the MCU?

Despite the fact that he ends the video by crossing his fists over his chest, the actor is expected to reprise the role of Deadshot in Suicide Squad 2, so he's definitely not done with the DC Films Universe quite yet. It is, of course, possible that he'll join the Black Panther franchise or another Marvel series at some point but time will tell on that front. Be sure to watch the video for Smith's full comments.

 

I want to share something that Nelson Mandela said to me. . He said, “With the type of fame that you have attained it is important when you encounter your fans that you — Reach Your Hand Out and let them Feel Your Flesh. You have to prove to them that you are REAL — because people can not aspire to anything they do not believe is Real.” . So I say to you, Congratulations! Enjoy this Transcendent Moment. Go into the streets... Touch them... Let them know that you are real! . @chadwickboseman, @michaelbjordan @lupitanyongo @letitiawright @danaigurira @danielkaluuya @im.angelabassett @andyserkis @winstoncduke @sterlingkbrown @rmorrison @therealstanlee @ludwiggoransson @iamruthecarter #blackpanther . With Pure Delight WILL :-)
