"What you have done is spectacular," Smith said in the video. "I watched the film a couple of days ago, and damn near got brought to tears. You guys have challenged and potentially even shattered a lot of long-time, long-held false Hollywood beliefs and paradigms. I just want to say congratulations to you, I'm proud and I'm excited, damn-near giddy. Congrats y'all, go get it."

He then crossed his arms over his chest — the Wakandan salute.

Along with the video, Smith quoted Mandela in his Instagram post, sharing a message everyone who worked on the film that spoke to what people can do with their fame and how they can reach out and inspire others.

"Go into the streets... Touch them... Let them know that you are real!" Smith wrote.
