Black Panther premieres on 16 February at cinemas nationwide.
Kani says: "There are words used to indicate that those people’s indigenous language is not English. But you know this is an American major blockbuster, therefore it will be 99.9% English. However, you’ll hear some [isiXhosa] words being dropped."
