Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures and Marvel Studios have a box office smash with Captain America: Civil War. With Captain America 3 in theaters, Twitter has lots to say about Michael B. Jordan and Lupita Nyong'o's casting in Chadwick Boseman's Black Panther movie.

As we previously mentioned, based on the Civil War run from Mark Millar and Steve McNiven, the Superhero Registration Act has caused a monumental the divide between Tony Stark aka Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) and Steve Rogers (Evans). Iron Man appears to be in favor of the government bill that would force heroes to register themselves and reveal their true identities. Sides will be chosen as both leaders form their own teams, but Black Panther is on his own mission.

According to US Weekly, the Fantastic Four actor is in negotiations to re-team with Creed director Ryan Coogler. The Star Wars: The Force Awakens is also in talks to join the cast. No word though about who they will play in the upcoming superhero flick. One source tells The Hollywood Reporter that Jordan could possibly play a villain. Another rumor swirling around is that Nyong'o could be playing the love interest. Black Panther is already making headlines for being the first Marvel movie with a predominately black cast.

Check out what Twitter has been saying with the hashtag, #BlackPantherSoLit:

@GeekSoulBrother tweets, "#BlackPantherSoLIT Everybody on this tag, also remember 2 things:- BUY BLACK COMICS - SUPPORT BLACK GENRE FILMS (especially ones we make)"

@TheBenjaminL states, "#BlackPantherSoLIT is trending? Hell yeah! Diversity for the win!"

@mrjafri adds, "#BlackPantherSoLIT the whole world is cheering for a hero that represents us ALL"

Ava DuVernay @AVAETC mentions, "Had to text #RyanCoogler and make sure he found someone to show him #BlackPantherSoLIT. Because epic! Cannot wait!"

@kameeluhh writes, "When a lot of black actors are in a movie and that movie isn't about slavery or segregation #BlackPantherSoLIT"

@BlackGirlNerds has the feels already, "#BlackPantherSOLIT I'm going to cry the minute I see the Marvel opening and the sound of the flipping pages."

Readers, are you excited for the Black Panther movie?
