Marvel's latest entry into the superhero film canon, 'Black Panther,' has become an international phenomenon in just three days. Fans young and old have already cosplayed their faves, analyzed every scene online and have gone back to theaters multiple times to relive the glory that is Wakanda.
On Friday, a Brooklyn man took it a step further. Decked out in a detailed replica of Black Panther's suit, the super fan proposed to his girlfriend at the 10:15 screening of the hit superhero flick at the Brooklyn Alamo Drafthouse.

Some of the filmgoers on Twitter said that the cosplayer did not have the same screening as his new fiancée. The man surprised her and did not have tickets to that screening, so he left after his wife-to-be said yes.
Step your game up, gentlemen. https://t.co/WIxa4OGOxe
