MCU: 12 Things We Learned From 4Chan's Latest Marvel Movies "Leak"

8. The Black Panther Cast May Grow

PHASE 4 LEAK
Paramount

The Rumour

On top of the already very talented cast, David Oyelowo and Sterling K Brown are negotiating to join to join cast in unspecified roles.

Additionally, the film will be very gritty, more like Marvel's Netflix shows than the rest of the MCU, albeit without as much violence. The fight choreography though will still be "very raw". The villains will be Michael B Jordan's Killmonger and Andy Serkis as Ulysses Klaue.

Response

Fair enough on the villains, that was pretty well established already. The tone is a little strange, given that Marvel always seek a pretty unified approach, but it's no bad thing to be a little more diverse, particularly as Black Panther has his own fight style that deserves special treatment.

As for the new cast members? David Oyelowo was linked with a role way back before the film was even announced and he expressed himself interested if the script was right. Whether he'd be happy to play a diminished role remains to be seen, but if it's the right one, who knows?

Sterling K Brown meanwhile was great in The People Versus OJ Simpson, and there has to be room on any cast for such talent.
