COMIC book fans and movie buffs have taken to Twitter, after one user spotted a Welsh flag in the latest Marvel superhero movie Black Panther.
The film, which stars Chadwick Boseman, Lupita Nyong'o and Letitia Wright, was released in the UK on February 12.
Set in the futuristic African nation of Wakanda, one scene includes a shot of the United Nations General Assembly.
And among the fluttering flags of the Netherlands, the USA and Japan, sits one very recognisable dragon.
Twitter user David Blunden was among the eagle-eyed fans to notice it.
Did anyone else spot the Welsh flag at the end of Black Panther? The scene where they go to the U.N. Nice to recognised as a Soveriegn State (even if it's a fictional film)

Another user, Leigh Jones, suggested a Pembrokeshire connection might be responsible.
ILM did SFX on Black Panther. Lucasfilm's GM is Lynwen Brennan who's originally from Pembrokeshire, so I suspect this is someone sucking up to their boss!

Lynwen Brennan, who now works as general manager of Lucasfilm, is originally from Penally, near Tenby.
She was today announced as one of the Pembrokeshire women to be nominated for a 2018 St Davids Award.
So, what do you think? Could Wales be set for independence, or is it more likely that Tony Stark becomes mayor of Narberth?
Only time will tell...
