Rogue One: A Star Wars Story's Forest Whitaker has been cast in Marvel's upcoming 'Black Panther' movie.
At this year's New York Comic Con, Marvel Studios made the announcement that Forest Whitaker would be making his comic book debut in the upcoming superhero epic, 'Black Panther'. Disney already has opted to include Whitaker in this winter's Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, but they will now be doubling down on the actor's talent by casting him as Zuri in the film, a veteran Wakandan warrior and ally to T'Challa the Black Panther.
The movie stars Chadwick Boseman as T'Challa/Black Panther, Michael B. Jordan, Forest Whitaker, Andy Serkis, and Lupita Nyong'o.
