Black Panther is set to grace theaters next week, but before that director Ryan Coogler was quizzed by Collider on the 'Special Thanks' that Donald Glover and Stephen Glover recieved in the credits for the film
Coogler confirms that the brothers read the initial draft of Black Panther , "Donald and Stephen actually gave me notes on a draft . They came in and read the draft. Right before we started the shoot, and they had some cool insight."
Coogler did explain their contributions were not major ones though, at that they just helped with some of the humor in the film. "It wasn't that kind of a thing where it was 'change this, change that.' We were looking at ways to add a few more character things with specifically Shuri, where she pokes fun at her brother. Donald's one of the funniest people that I know, so he had some interesting ideas, and Stephen's crazy talented as well."
Donald Glover is no stranger to the Marvel world, having been part of the inspiration for Miles Morales, as well as voicing his character in the animated Ultimate Spider-Man series anbd playing his uncle, Aaron David, in last year's Spider-Man: Homeocming.
