The Rumour

Following on from the exceptional casting of some of Hollywood's best black actors, John Boyega has also been cast for an unannounced role.

He was apparently captured in talks with Marvel about the role.

The Killer Proof

Marvel denied it when they were asked, and here's what Boyega's agent had to say about it:

Would It Have Been Any Good?

Boyega has proven steadily that he's a great actor, and while Black Panther is already extremely stacked with talent, he would be a good addition to any film.

It's a shame he won't be involved, but he's already got a lot on his hands with Star Wars, so maybe we can forgive him.
