Brie Larson thinks everyone should see Black Panther. Now she’s the latest celebrity helping people get Black Panther tickets.
Brie Larson is a superhero! No, not just because she’s playing Captain Marvel. She’s also helping people get Black Panther tickets. And that’s pretty heroic.
Larson, who will be starring in her own Marvel superhero movie soon, took to Twitter to say that everyone should get Black Panther tickets. “I know it’s expensive to go to the theater, but [it’s] worth it for this one. You will exit forever impacted,” she wrote.
She then started promoting people on Twitter who were offering to buy Black Panther tickets for those who couldn’t afford them. How cool is that? Larson can seriously do no wrong.
People from all over the world including NYC, Mississippi and all over the U.S. as well as Indonesia, Argentina, Kazakhstan and more stepped up to help people get to see this movie.
One of the best things you can do for yourself and/or the ones you love is purchase some #BlackPanther tix. I know it’s expensive to go to the theater, but its worth it for this one. You will exit forever impacted.

And Larson’s not the only one helping people get to see Black Panther. This empowering film is so revolutionary and has so much hype surrounding it that there have been real concerted efforts to get kids to see the movie. Who could forget that viral video of kids dancing in school when they heard they were going to see Black Panther?
Frederick Joseph started a GoFundMe campaign to help children of color at the Boys & Girls Club in Harlem see the movie. Soon the Black Panther Challenge was started to get even more kids to see the movie.
Octavia Spencer, who previously worked with Ryan Coogler, also bought out a theater in Mississippi “to ensure that all our brown children can see themselves as a superhero.” And Ant-Man’s T.I. teamed up with Walmart to set up a free screening in Atlanta.
In fact, over 200 grass-roots campaigns have been started to help people get to see Black Panther.
And it’s not hard to see why. So far, Black Panther has earned rave reviews. And it’s also making a real impact. The positive black representation in the movie and behind the camera is something people have been waiting for forever.

Black Panther is breaking all kinds of barriers. Not only is it just an amazing superhero movie, but it’s also the first chance for a new generation of kids of color to really see themselves represented on the big screen in a superhero movie. And that’s something everyone should see. Thanks to Larson, a lot more people can now.
