Hello, Auntie
Michael B. Jordan, who played Killmonger in Marvel’s Black Panther had audiences beside themselves with laughter when he cleverly spouted “Hey Auntie” after his super-serious introduction as “The decedent of N’Jobu.” It was something about how casually he said it that made it so funny and endearing.
The Black Panther saga is one of the more grim origin stories in Marvel Nation, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t room for a few belly-laughs here and there. Killmonger calling his ancestor Auntie was relatable and genuinely funny, so it’s no surprise that it made the final cut of the film.
