Ever since its premiere, 'Black Panther', the latest Marvel Cinematic Universe film to hit our screens, has been a huge success. During its first weekend, the film, directed by Ryan Coogler ('Creed'), has earned more than $200 million stateside, making up a global total of $404 million. The film is set to be so good, that fans are doing just about anything to be able to watch it.
Two young fans attempted to view the film dressed as one person, using the disguise of a hat, a pair of sunglasses and a trench coat. As expected, the trick didn't work, but that hasn't stopped a video of the two going viral.

False claims
Whilst the above trick was all in good humour, the same cannot be said for a few other Twitter users. For some days now, users, enraged at 'Black Panther''s majority black cast, have made out that they were attacked whilst attempting to see the Marvel film. The police have reported that no such attacks have actually taken place and others in the industry, like 'Guardians of the Galaxy''s James Gunn, have shown their condemnation.
The racists are out and rearing their ugly heads with lots of fake tweets about violence at #BlackPanther screenings. In truth, people from all walks of life have been enjoying the film together this weekend. Don't let this BS scare you away. ?? https://t.co/CSdlcpVuPp
