Even Lupita Nyong'o got in on the fun. The actress who played Nakia in the film, responded to the airport's Twitter account, asking about the flight's " in-flight entertainment."
"Apart from La Femme Nakia, what else is on the in-flight entertainment? T’Challa’s Angels, M’Baku To The Future, Shuri’s Gotta Have It, Killmonger Bill, W’Kabi In The Woods…?" she wrote.

Aside from its epic tweet, the city of Atlanta has other strong connections to the film. As WSB-TV Atlanta reported, a number of the movie's settings were located in Atlanta. Furthermore, nearly $84 million of the film's budget was spent in Georgia. This included employing 3,100 people in Georgia's film industry, WSB-TV reported.
