Nails on fleek! Boseman stares pensively into his hands as if wondering what to do with all of the massive amounts of money I plan to throw at him when this film opens. This is my favorite poster!

Michael B. Jordan as Erik Killmonger
Marvel
My first thought about this poster was "Too much clothing!" But then I realized that I have to work for the rest of the day and can't handle much more sexiness than this. I am very into his Games of Thrones cricket paddle. This is my favorite poster!

Danai Gurira as Okoye
Marvel
Can we talk about the intensely good lighting in this photo! I can see every pore and they all have me shewk. Guira looks both fierce and solemn as a Dora Milaje, aka the badass women who are going steal the film. This is my favorite poster!

I am living for his iconic fur shrug! I don't know the character M'Baku that well but I presume he is the Liza Minelli of Wakanda. This is my favorite poster!

Daniel Kaluuya as W'Kabi
Marvel
First of all, I think I speak for the entire nation when I say I'm so glad he got away from Bradley Whitford and Allison Williams. Secondly, it's very impressive that he then moved to a secret African nation and changed his whole life like he was acting out the plot of "Hotline Bling." This is my favorite poster!

Angela Bassett as Ramonda
Marvel
I AM SLAIN! How did it take all these years for Hollywood to realize that what the world wants is the legendary Angela Bassett playing a queen who wears the Heart of the Ocean around her neck? Living for the crown that is way too big for the photo. No image can contain Queen Angela. This is my favorite poster!

Letitia Wright as Shuri
Marvel
T'Challa's sister Shuri clearly did not come to play and I am here for it! I'm especially here for that intense mechanized glove she's rocking. Do not arm-wrestle Shuri; you will not get that arm back. This is my favorite poster!

Forest Whitaker as Zuri
Marvel
I'm getting vibes of his Rogue One character here, which is cool with me because I definitely could have used more of him in the movie. I presume that Zuri is a totally different character that exists in a separate universe and whatnot, but until I see the movie I'm going to just assume they're the same. Living for that shade of purple, though! This is my favorite poster!

Andy Serkis as Klaw
Marvel
Legit my first thought was "Oof, they Photoshopped his hand too much. It doesn't even look real." Then I realized it's not real. Stunning! This is my favorite poster!

Lupita Nyong'o as Nakia
Marvel
I like to imagine the rings she's holding are part of the logo for the Wakanda Olympics. Lupita wins every medal! I love this! I love that she is looking directly at the camera! I love how confident she seems! I love the lighting! I love everything about this! Take my money Black Panther! Take all of it! I'll tweet you my ATM PIN. Let's do this. This is my favorite poster!
