“We are excited and proud to be a part of the premiere of this milestone film here in Africa. This is huge for the continent of Africa as it symbolizes to us further bridging of the gaps between the global film industries,” she said.”

Through the association with AFRIFF and FilmOne, Black Panther 2 will play hosts to film industry stake holders from across Africa and the world at large, kicking off the continent wide celebrations.
