These behind-the-scenes pictures from “Black Panther” are definitive proof that the cast had the BEST time filming
Black Panther is officially out in theaters and unsurprisingly, it’s currently the biggest film in the world. During its opening weekend, Black Panther grossed more than $404 million worldwide, breaking so many records in the process.
As we’re still in awe at the absolute masterpiece of a film from director Ryan Coogler — and still reeling from the serious cast chemistry during the film’s press tour — we can’t even begin to imagine the incredible time the cast must have had while filming the Marvel movie.
Fans got a small taste of what it was like after Lupita Nyong’o challenged co-star Michael B. Jordan to do a push-up during a Twitter Q&A, prompting Coogler to reveal the on-set “on-call push-up” betting policy the cast had during filming. But wait, there’s so much more…
Throughout the filming of Black Panther (and afterward!), the cast took to social media to share behind-the-scenes pictures and videos from set, and because we’re obsessed with each and every cast member, we took a deep dive through ALL of their Instagrams and found our favorite behind-the-scenes moments.
And what we found is actually glorious…
