It looks like Disney is getting into the Forest Whitaker business after finishing his role in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, he’s now moved to the Marvel Cinematic Universe starring in another major blockbuster.
The Oscar-winning actor is joining the ready impressive Black Panther cast and will be playing Zuri, who Marvel describes as an elder statesman in Wakanda. We’ll most likely see him playing an important part throughout the film.

The film is directed by Ryan Coogler (Fruitville Station, Creed) and it has all the makings of being the best Marvel film ever made and it’s differently the most important comic-book movie ever made too.
Black Panther will be released in the UK on February 9th, 2018 and, a week later, February 16th, 2018 in the US.
