Black Panther is already being hailed as one of Marvel's best ever movies so it's little wonder that the film's European premiere in West London attracted a whole host of stars who were eager to celebrate.

London's Hammermsith Apollo was bursting at the seams with famous fans, who just couldn't wait to get a first look at the film about T'Challa, the king of the fictional kingdom of Wakanda, who returned home to claim his throne after the events of Captain America: Civil War.
