Some actors seem destined to take part in projects that are part of geek culture, and Serkis is one of them. Having already appeared in so many franchise staples, many were excited to hear that Serkis would be taking on the role of this iconic Black Panther villain.

It was also great to see that he would be playing such a high profile role in live-action. This is a rarity for the actor so left many to anticipate how he would do. He took full advantage of this position as the fun he had with this role was evident from the moment he appeared on the screen. It was clear that he would be bringing his A-game.

Across Avengers Age of Ultron and Black Panther, Serkis created a villain that was constantly entertaining. He revelled in causing mayhem and approached everything with child-like glee. The South African accent paired with his impressive look made the character intimidating and unique within the large assortment of villains in the MCU.

Seeing this classic character so well portrayed showed why Serkis is a master of his craft. He seems to love delving into character performances and bringing forth incredible energy to the screen.
