The hottest movie of the year has landed!

The red – or rather black – carpet has been rolled out for the brand new Marvel epic with celebs swarming to London’s Hammersmith for their first glimpse of the huge new movie.

The stars of the film were there in all their finery to celebrate the European premiere, as was a whole host of big named celebs who couldn’t wait like the rest of us for general release.

Chadwick Boseman, Lupita Nyong’o and Martin Freeman were just some of the cast names there to mark the opening of the film, as well as the likes of Andy Serkis, Michael B. Jordan and Danai Gurira.

Other celebs and huge Marvel fans were spotted arriving ahead of the screening of the movie, with Clara Amfo, Professor Green and Leona Lewis stopping for the paps.

John Boyega and Stormzy made a surprising duo on the black carpet, stopping for a big hug before heading in to grab their pop corn.

Lupita previously said of her character to Slashfilm: ‘I can say that Nakia, when we meet her, is a war dog, which means she’s one of Wakanda’s CIA agents.

‘Her job is to spy around the world and report back to Wakanda to keep Wakanda safe and keep Wakanda informed.’

Chadwick Boseman is the protagonist of the film warrior king T’Challa and he is starring alongside Oscar winner, Lupita Nyong’o. The rest of the cast is made up of an impressive list of names including Michael B. Jordan, Forrest Whitaker, Daniel Kaluuya, Letitia Wright, Martin Freeman, Andy Serkis and The Walking Dead star Danai Gurira.

Marvel Studios’ Black Panther follows T’Challa who, after the death of his father, the King of Wakanda, returns home to the isolated, technologically advanced African nation to succeed to the throne and take his rightful place as king.

But when a powerful old enemy reappears, T’Challa’s mettle as king—and Black Panther—is tested when he is drawn into a formidable conflict that puts the fate of Wakanda and the entire world at risk.

Faced with treachery and danger, the young king must rally his allies and release the full power of Black Panther to defeat his foes and secure the safety of his people and their way of life.
