two actors who played Holmes and two actors who played Watson have appeared in MCU films

That's an interesting question. Can you walk into Wakanda if you know where the entry points are?
TheMadDruid@reddit
Wakanda question is that?
Brell4Evar@reddit
Alternatively, both actors are celebrities of nerd culture, and too much of that wouldn't have worked in Black Panther.
After all, one does not simply Wakanda more dorks.

This joke was circulating before the movie even came out based on the promotion poster.
It’s a classic, though.

I found it using back when the movie released in 2018, during a Serkis and Freeman interview, they made jokes about being the token white guys in the film.
