Back in January, whenBlack Panther started production, most of the cast and crew likely couldn’t have known that one of their co-star’s new movies would take the nation by storm.Daniel Kaluuya, who plays W’Kabi inBlack Panther, also stars in the breakthrough horror hitGet Out, which has become a cultural phenomenon and a box office hit, making writer-directorJordan Peelethe first African-American filmmaker whose debut earned more than $100 million domestically, with $163.2 million and counting. The film also spawned the viral sensation entitled theGet OutChallenge, which now has the full endorsement ofDaniel Kaluuyahimself in a new video from theBlack Pantherset.
Get Outis also coming off its six nominations at for this year’sMTV Movie & TV Awards, which is the highest of any movie, with nominations for Movie of the Year, Best Actor (Daniel Kaluuya), Best Villain (Allison Williams) and Best Comedic Performance (Lil Rel Howery) and Best Duo (Daniel KaluuyaandLil Rel Howery), withDaniel Kaluuyaalso up for the Next Generation award as well. To celebrate all ofGet Out’s nominations,Black PantheractressLupita Nyong’odecided to stage the “UltimateGet OutChallenge” on theBlack Pantherset, in a video which she posted onTwitter. The video features a number of actors sprinting towardsDaniel Kaluuya’s Chris, re-enacting a pivotal and terrifying scene where Walter (Marcus Henderson) sprints towards Chris, only to turn away from him at the last second.
It isn’t known who any of these actors are who helped put this video together, by sprinting towardsDaniel Kaluuya, but it’s possible that they’re all extras on thisMarvel adaptation. TheGet Outchallenge was quite a big hit whenGet Outwas first released, but as the viral trend had started to wane, it may certainly pick up again after this video, and it’s possible this trend could be revived whenGet Outdebuts on Digital HD May 9 and on Blu-ray/DVD May 23. Regardless of who took part in the video, it’s nice to see thatDaniel Kaluuyais willing to reprise his now-iconic role, even while having some fun on the set of a big superhero adventure.
