Black Panther Trailer Reactions: 7 Ups & 2 Downs

5. The Music

After using Run The Jewels in the first trailer, Marvel's marketing team have pulled off another masterstroke with the second by mashing up Gil Scott-Heron's firebrand political anthem "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" with "BagBak" by Vince Staples.

In terms of pure impact, it's a stunning choice: that's a hell of a cool track to match to the images and it's far more memorable than simply picking something out of the score.

And more importantly - specifically for a film coming out in Black History month and so tuned into black identity - both songs are political and important. Scott-Heron's became an anthem for the Black Panther movement in '70s America and is soaked in black identity and consciousness politics. And Vance's hip-hop techno fusion just as boldly talks about being black in modern America.

Further, considering Wakanda's marriage of tradtional and futuristic, the mash-up is thematically en point. So it's not just a good tune.
