Marvel: 15 Biggest MCU Rumours You Need To Know (Jan 15th)

4. Phylicia Rashad Could Be In Black Panther

With Black Panther just about heading into production, the cast is pretty firmly set - or so you'd expect anyway - but it seems that one actor involved might have let slip a secret casting.

In an interview with The Undefeated, Sterling K Brown seemingly inadvertently announced that Phylicia Rashad will also appear. That probably wouldn't have even registered but then the website deleted her name from the interview, almost as if they'd heard from Disney that the info was being kept secret for a reason or something.

Rating: 1/10

Well, Rashad did appear in Creed and Ryan Coogler does like to recast talents he's worked with before. But not according to Marvel, who sent out a statement to say the interview was changed simply because Rashad isn't in the film. Nothing conspiratorial, just a mistake.

Unless that's EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANT US ALL TO THINK...? (It's probably not that).
