The lead up to the release of the Black Panther film has been nothing short of historic. From recording-breaking ticket sales to GoFundMe campaigns dedicated to helping kids see the film, the movie is already resonating with audiences around the world. Though the film officially hits movie theaters on February 16, Black Panther has already charmed critics and fans alike, with some calling it "Marvel's most thoughtful movie to date."

So how do we share the love right back? Teen Vogue caught up with actors Letitia Wright and Winston Duke, who play Princess Shuri and M'Baku in the superhero film. Our challenge: A compliment battle that left the two actors basking in the glow of your social media praises. Although Letitia admitted to "taking compliments like a grandma takes tea," the pair are visibly touched by the messages of fans on social media. But these comments are more than worth it, because Winston noted that Black Panther will help audiences "see people who look like them in positions of power and have agency in their life." (Look to the reactions of these children learning they're going on a field trip to see the movie as all the proof you need.) For more feel-good moments? Watch our Compliment Battle, right this way.
