Cast Update On Black Panther

 

Marvel studio has just added Person of Interest actor Winston Duke to the cast of Black Panther, with the relative newcomer set to play the villainous Man-Ape. Duke joins Michael B. Jordan as the film’s other antagonist, Erik Killmonger, along with star Chadwick Boseman.

They’ll be surrounded by a strong supporting cast which consists of Lupita Nyong’o and Danai Gurira. Joining Black Panther is a pretty big step for Duke, as he’s yet to make his feature film debut and doing so in a Marvel movie with what’s described as a key role will no doubt be a huge deal for his career.

Man-Ape is said to be one of Wakanda’s greatest warriors but finds himself on the wrong side of Black Panther when he tries to overthrow him as ruler of the nation. After killing a rare white gorilla and eating its flesh, the Man-Ape gains superhuman strength, speed and stamina.
