15 Most Exciting New Movies Announced In 2019 (So Far)

11. Black Leopard, Red Wolf

Release: TBC

As well as Black Panther 2 - which was announced as one of Marvel's upcoming but so far undated Phase 5 movies - Michael B Jordan has another adaptation of a fantasy world.

As revealed earlier this year, the Creed star will turn his attention away from Wakanda to Marlon James' epic African fantasy Black Leopard, Red Wolf. If that means nothing to you, then consider it this way: the book is billed as an African answer to Game Of Thrones and counts Neil Gaiman among its fans.

The film will be set in a fantastical Africa populated by giants, necromancers, witches and shape-shifters and follow a slave trader who hires a team of mercenaries to find a kidnapped boy, led by the main character Tracker. Jordan is producing and you'd have to think he's going to star too, but that's not confirmed yet.
