*One of the most emotional moments of Oscar night happened backstage when Sandra Bullock met the cast of the blockbuster superhero flick “Black Panther.”
While dishing about her upcoming actioner “Ocean’s 8,” Bullock gushed about how she got the chance to tell the cast of the Marvel film about the impact the movie has had on her and the two black children she adopted, Louis, 8, and Laila, 5.
“I started to cry backstage when I was telling [the Black Panther cast] how much the film meant to me as a woman, but how much it meant to me as a mother,” Bullock told Access Hollywood.
“I’m so grateful to Marvel because about five years ago, my son asked me if there were any brown Legos,” she explained. “And I said, ‘Yes, there are,’ and I got a Sharpie and I turned Spider-Man brown, I turned the Legos brown, and I don’t have to turn them brown anymore.”

Although Bullock admits that her kids are still too young to see “Black Panther,” she did purchase the film’s merchandise long before it hit the stores.
“I bought her swag before it even came [out],” Bullock said of her daughter. “She runs around in the Black Panther mask. Which is scary when she comes out of the dark.”
Bullock’s “Ocean’s 8” drops this spring, and the formerly all-male team of criminals is replaced by a diverse female crew, including Mindy Kaling and Rihanna.
Meanwhile, “Black Panther” has surpassed $800 million worldwide, according to Forbes, and stands as one of the top ten all-time superhero releases. The movie is the biggest ever opening for an African-American director and there’s already talk of Marvel wanting Ryan Coogler to serve up a sequel.
