Nollywood actress, Funke Akindele to star in ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ movie

Funke Akindele's name is currently the number 1 trending topic on Twitter and it is because we hear she landed a role on one of Hollywood's highest grossing movies, Avengers Infinity Wars - though unconfirmed as at the time of this release.

We checked through the actress' social media accounts and she has also not said anything about the news, but for now here are some of the conversations on Twitter. See below: 

This life is just very funny. One would have thought Genevieve, Kate Henshaw and the likes stood a higher chance at breaking into HollyWood, but see Funke Akindele, see God!
