Look closely... they're there

"Black Panther" became the fourth-highest opening day for a superhero movie, bringing in an impressive $75.6 million at the box office between Thursday night and Friday. Superhero fatigue is all but a myth now. But some super fans noticed some hidden gems in the movie. Here are a few of them, thanks to Mashable.


Vibranium

Wakanda's source of power, also used to create Captain America's shield, made an appearance, but it was probably pretty obvious to most fans. Still, the reference was a nice one. Vibranium offers nearly unlimited protection.

SPOILER ALERT: The secret Wakandan assassination force is referenced in the post-credit scene, and it has fans pretty excited about the (presumed) sequels.

Everett K. Ross

Being white, his character was the focus of some subtle comic relief in the movie, as he was treated as a sidekick. It is also revealed he is a former US Air Force pilot.

"Everett K. Ross Was Purposefully Brought Into Captain America: Civil War for his Role in Black Panther," tweeted Black Girl Nerds Has Arrived.

Necropolis

Although Mashable describes this Easter egg as "a bit of a stretch," the Wakandan City of the Dead plays an integral role in the comic's backstory. T'Challa "visits" Necropolis after ascending to power, reuniting with his dead father. Necropolis is the home of the afterlife for fallen Wakanden heroes. It could be a hint for more to come in the sequel.

Shuri

The Queen of Wakanda's appearance drove fans wild, especially when she referred to a white man as a "colonizer." But her story goes deeper than that, as she invented many of Wakanda's most sophisticated technological devices.

"Shuri is the real mvp. That is all," Geeks of Color shared.

That’s right: between the swag, panels, and trailer drops, fans were invited to “meet” Lee, who passed away in 2018 at age 95, via a digital stand-in programmed to chat like the real thing.

Jimmy Kimmel And Stephen Colbert Unload On Trump In Rare Crossover Event As Guests On Each Other's Shows

Late-night hosts Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert were each other's guests in a special crossover event on Tuesday and took the opportunity to call out "son of a b*tch" President Donald Trump, who has used his influence in attempts to silence them for criticizing him and his MAGA movement on the air.

Last week, ABC announced it would end its suspension of Jimmy Kimmel Live! just a week after Trump pushed to get host Jimmy Kimmel off the air following comments Kimmel made about the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk. ABC had had internal discussions with Disney, which saw a wave of subscriber cancellations in the wake of Kimmel's suspension.
