Donald Glover Gave ‘Black Panther’ Script Notes to Ryan Coogler and Is Thanked in the Credits
Donald Glover may have chosen “Star Wars” over the Marvel Cinematic Universe when it comes to acting, but that doesn’t mean he hasn’t left his mark on the multi-million dollar superhero franchise. Speaking to Collider, “Black Panther” director Ryan Coogler revealed that Donald and his brother, Stephen Glover, helped give script notes when “Panther” was in early stages of development. The director didn’t reveal exactly how they impacted the script, but it was apparently enough to get them both a special shoutout in the film’s end credits.
