BLACK PANTHER is PEAK double consciousness. It’s a Marvel movie, sure. And a blockbuster, absolutely, covers those bases and covers them well. But a film that features that vegetarian bit? Or Kilmonger’s last line? Ryan’s made two movies at once. And he crushed them both 🙌🏿

True story — we made these lines up in the moment. The scripted scene ended with with Juan finishing the story quoting Abuela. We all three realized the conversation needed to go further. Alex asked the question, “So yo’ name Blue?— and that created the space for Juan’s answer 🙏🏿

Creating and working on a piece this heavy, in theme and scope. And then talking about it — reliving it constantly — it can trap you in a dark, heavy space. Depressive. It’s been a long few months, but... then you’re sent this. Randomly.
And you realize... it’s worth it 🥺💜

Also, the Russo Bros are so fundamentally sound in the way they communicate spatial relationships between characters during set-pieces. It’s what truly separates their work on this scale from most others’. It’s truly jaw-dropping how grounded the audience is at all time.
