Spider-Man isn't the only one stealing the show: Black Panther also establishes himself as a future MCU mainstay par excellence.

"Regal" was a word that came up in many reviews, while The Hollywood Reporter said, "Boseman inhabits the part with typical intensity, piquing fans’ anticipation of the Ryan Coogler-directed Black Panther", and Forbes called the actor "a towering delight" in "an a**-kicking debut."

In greater detail: "Panther's fight scenes are very cool, his costume looks great, and his emotional arc essentially satisfies the need for an origin story in his own upcoming movie" (IGN), and "Chadwick Boseman’s Black Panther has a bigger role than you might expect...Boseman plays the prince of Wakanda with regal airs, charm and forceful determination" (Total Film).
