As you know, the official slogan of Wakanda is "Wakanda forever." Well, that also applies to the past as well, because fans recently decided to have some fun by combining the highly successful
Black Panther with a little bit of nostalgia.

A week ago, Instagram user @takemymoneystudios posted a mock poster of the film's 1990s version, starring Wesley Snipes as T'Challa and Denzel Washington as Erik Killmonger.

#wesleysnipes Fever Dream Project of a 90s superhero film #blackpanther didn’t happen, but some Hollywood producers are probably crying in a really nice luxury trailer thinking of how much richer ???? they could have been #bladepanther * * #denzelwashington #blackpanthermovie #blackpantherparty #wakanda #wakandaforever #marvelstudios #marvelmemes #avengersinfinitywar #avengers #infinitywar #tchalla #afrocentric #michaelbjordan #chadwickboseman #lupitanyongo #letitiawright #likeback #likeforlikes #followtrain #followback #tbthursday #tbt #korea #joburg #atl #atlanta #paris

Get into this perfect re-casting, though! 

You might recall that Snipes was originally slated to star in a Black Panther film in the '90s, but the film never materialized. 

What happened after that poster made its way onto Twitter was … black excellence, of course:

I strongly believe that Angela Bassett would have raised a Killmonger, not a T’Challa.— Alanna (@alanna_prince) April 4, 2018

Grace Jones would have been okoye— jauan jones (@jauan_jones) April 4, 2018

Tatyana Ali as Shuri #90sBlackPanther— Jerry Rozier (@BostonJerry) April 4, 2018

And Patrick Swayze as Klaw— Only Judge Can Judge Me (@TheVoice30) April 4, 2018

Jamie Foxx wouldve played killmonger in the mid 2000s. I can't be the only one that felt him in Michael's performance https://t.co/O3fYpHF8hp— Jai (@royalswerve) April 4, 2018

Bokeem Woodbine as any of the damn male characters from the hero to the villain to a henchman…90s was a strange time this mofo was in errything #90sBlackPanther pic.twitter.com/2TEy2rqkk2— Δlt► ₸iməline ℍ Ⱥ Π Ķ ↹ (@hanx3sports) April 4, 2018

Why are these so perfect?

And the social media production crew didn't stop at casting. Folks were chiming in on wardrobe, too! Because, of course, fashion is a huge part of the '90s.

shuri's crowning tech gear would've been a pair of reebok pumps— steed malbranque (@earlmanwich) April 4, 2018

Oh and by the way, @takemymoneystudios didn't stop at the original poster: the account also features solo character posters, including Lisa Bonet as Shuri!
