Chadwick Boseman made his SNL debut on Saturday. And honestly, he looked super comfortable up there. "I'm so happy to be hosting Saturday Night Live," the Black Panther star said. "Only two months after Black Panther, but it's still before the Avengers, so we're not completely late."

He even took a shot at Donald Trump when he shot down "rumors" that he'd ever run for president. "Everyone's asking if I'm gonna run for president. Why would I go from being a serious actor to doing reality TV?"

Boseman is the star of Black Panther, which is easily the most talked about and most tweeted about movie of 2018 (and actually the most tweeted about movie of all time). The actor himself has been able to watch the fruit of his labors as the Marvel film broke record after record. Just some of these records include: largest ticket presale for a Marvel film, largest opening weekend for a black director, biggest February opening of all time, highest-grossing superhero film in the U.S., and most recently became the third-highest grossing domestic film of all time. The film will also help make history in Saudi Arabia: Black Panther will end Saudi Arabia’s 35-year cinema ban.

Boseman's Black Panther will be be seen in Avengers: Infinity War, which will be released in theaters on April 27.
