Already boasting an array of top acting talent, the cast of Marvel’s Black Panther<\/strong> <\/em>movie has been bolstered even further by these latest additions.<\/p>\n

Alongside Captain Marvel<\/strong><\/em>, this is the one we’re probably looking forward to the most out of Marvel’s crop of upcoming releases, and these names have only made it more so.<\/p>\n

First up is Forest Whitaker, who has lately been the beneficiary of if not a career revival (he was already doing fine), but definitely a boost, also having substantial roles in Arrival<\/strong><\/em> and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story<\/strong><\/em> on the horizon. Anyway, in Black Panther he will play Zuri, who is reportedly a senior figure in Wakandan society. There’s not much other information beyond that, but Whitaker being involved strengthens an already potent cast.<\/p>\n

\"florence-kasumba\"
Florence Kasumba will reprise her role in Black Panther.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Another addition marks a reprisal of sorts,\u00a0Florence Kasumba played a Dora Milaje (the Black Panther’s elite all-female bodyguards) in Captain America: Civil War<\/strong><\/em>, and while you can’t see much of her in that film, she does have a great deleted scene in which she effectively tells Black Widow to shift it, so clearly she’s gutsy. Hopefully she’ll get more time to shine in Black Panther<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"black-mirror-fifteen-million-merits\"
Daniel Kaluuya in Black Mirror.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Last but not least, Daniel Kaluuya (whose genre credits include Kick-Ass 2<\/strong><\/em>, Black Mirror<\/strong><\/em> and Psychoville<\/strong><\/em>), as well as roles in Skins<\/strong><\/em>, Sicario<\/strong><\/em>, Chatroom<\/strong><\/em> and Welcome To The Punch<\/strong><\/em>) is playing\u00a0W\u2019Kabi, an ally to T’Challa. As far as supporting casts go, he definitely represents another solid addition.<\/p>\n

Whitaker, Kasumba and Kaluuya join a cast that already includes Chadwick Boseman as T’Challa\/Black Panther, Lupita Nyong’o as Nakia, Michael B Jordan as Eric Killmonger, Danai Gurira as Okoye and Winston Duke as M’Baku\/Man-Ape, with Ryan Coogler directing from a script he co-wrote with Joe Robert Cole.<\/p>\n

Black Panther<\/em> will be released in cinemas on\u00a09 February 2018.\u00a0You can download The 25 Greatest Marvel Comics Ever<\/a> digital edition from GreatDigitalMags.com now.
