Usman to Star in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Movie

UFC welterweight champion, Kamaru Usman has joined the cast of the highly anticipated Black Panther: Wakanda Forever movie from Disney and Marvel Studios.

Details of Usman’s role and the character that he plays remain sketchy at this time while the movie continues its countdown towards its November 11th official release date.

Usman is a huge fan of the comic book superhero, and dating back to 2018, has shown a growing interest in being a part of the cinematic universe.

MMA Junkie confirmed the news of Usman’s involvement through manager Ali Abdelaziz after UFC Hall of Famer Daniel Cormier mentioned it during the UFC 277 weigh-in show on ESPN+.

The first “Black Panther” film was released in 2018 and starred the late Chadwick Boseman, who played King T’Challa and his alter ego the Black Panther. The franchise will continue on without Boseman, who died in 2020.

Disney and Marvel have confirmed that the character T’Challa won’t be recast in the “Wakanda Forever” sequel.
