"I am struggling to find the words to express my gratitude at this moment, but I will try. Filmmaking is a team sport. And our team was made up [of] amazing people from all over the world who believed in this story."
The film creates the fictional African country, Wakanda, and brings it to life in a beautiful and revolutionary medium. The all-black cast told the story with power and drive, making audiences of every color rave about it.
"Deep down we all hoped that people would come to see a film about a fictional country on the continent of Africa, made up of a cast of people of African descent. Never in a million years did we imagine that you all would come out this strong."
Coogler's humility surrounding the project is inspiring. Fans are on the edge of their seats waiting for his next debut.
