Sterling K. Brown, who was recently nominated for a Golden Globe and SAG Award for his work on the NBC drama “This is Us,” has joined the cast of Marvel’s “Black Panther” starring Chadwick Boseman.

Michael B. Jordan, Forest Whitaker, Lupita Nyong’o, and Danai Gurira are also on board. “Creed” helmer Ryan Coogler will direct.

Boseman will play T’Challa, the prince of the African nation of Wakanda, who must take over the throne after his father’s murder. Marvel unveiled the character in “Captain America: Civil War” in May and his standalone film hits theaters on Feb. 16, 2018.

Brown will play N’Jobu, a figure from T’Challa’s past. Joe Robert Cole is co-penning the script with Coogler. Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige is producing the movie.

[Broken Joystick]

When's Denzel joining

 

[SpaceWolf]

Bloody hell, the cast-list for this film is absolutely insane.

 

[BronsonLee]

UP YOUR BUTT, JOBU

 

[tomtom94]

Yeah, he deserved that Emmy. Think he was up against one of his co-stars for that.

Joe Robert Cole's episodes of People v OJ were the ones dealing with racism, I'm curious to see what they do with the script.

Also based Marvel etc

 

[Caelus]

The only MCU movie I'm excited for at this point, ohh boy I can't wait

 

[sixteen-bit]

Looking forward to this movie. BP was the best part of CA:CW.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

When's Denzel joining

Want him to pull out his wallet?

 

[xxracerxx]

Awesome.

Mentor or old rival?

 

[LionPride]

Just all of the black people. I love it. The scene in This Is Us where he talks about how he feels being black despite being raised by a white family, how he deals with being followed in stores, looked at strangely, so so good

 

[Sanjuro]

...this means is there is still time to cast Tom Hanks!

 

[RastaMentality]

That's fantastic news. let's hope marvel doesn't white wash it.

 

[illmatic22]

What a cast!

 

[Slayven]

Damn will the screen be able to hold all this Blacting? They get Viola Davis or someone else that can pull off that runny nose, shitttttttt.

 

[HStallion]

More like will the audience "Why are there so many black people in this African country? Why is the white guy the villain?"

 

[SamuelSupreme]

This will end up being the most important super hero movie of all time

 

[NastyBook]

I can't wait for the inevitable twitter Marvel films boycott to go full steam ahead the closer this movie gets to release. Might even get a tweet or two from Tramp about it.

The antagonist in this film is going to be T'Challa's brother or something, isn't it?

 

[excelsiorlef]

Fuck yes!

Brown is killing it on This is Us...

Amazing actor.

 

[Slayven]

I can't wait for the inevitable twitter Marvel films boycott to go full steam ahead the closer this movie gets to release. Might even get a tweet or two from Tramp about it.

I wonder how the Alt Right will feel about Everett Ross?

"Why is Marvel spreading Black Panther propaganda? Sad!"

 

[Bronx-Man]

It's Kilmonger & M'Baku so far. Klaw is still out there too.

 

[Jigorath]

This is a really great cast.

 

[HStallion]

Its not Andy Serkis as Klaw?

 

[Anth0ny]

holy fuck this cast. wow.

 

[FullMetaltech]

The cast is fantastic so far. I cant wait for this.

 

[Slayven]

This cast has more black people than 15 hollywood films

 

[SpaceWolf]

Its not Andy Serkis as Klaw?

I don't think they've even announced that he's even going to be in this yet surprisingly, which would make his horribly shoe-horned cameo in Age of Ultron all the more pointless.

It's Kilmonger & M'Baku so far. Klaw is still out there too.

Interesting. Thank you.

 

[TheFlow]

The only movie with more black people than this is a slavery film or biopic about King.

Movie going to wake white people

I both look forward to and dread the reactions to this movie.

 

[SpaceWolf]

I both look forward to and dread the reactions to this movie.

This film proving to be a disappointment at the box office would be heartbreaking (as long as it doesn't turn out to be really bad or anything)

 

[illmatic22]

Every MCU film since like, The First Avenger has grossed at least half a billion Worldwide. Black Panther is not gonna bomb.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

This cast has more black people than 15 hollywood films

accurate. and more black excellence than 30.

too bad Michael B. got caught in the Fantastic 4 crossfire.

Cast just needs some Tessa Thompson, Nathalie Emmanuel and Gugu Mbatha-Raw and I can die a happy man.

Oh and give Eddie Murphy a broom to hold or something. And maybe a funny Heimdall (Elba) cameo.

"But I bet if I named a movie White Panther..."

 

[MadLaughter]

She at least is in Thor: Ragnarok

 

[rtcn63]

After they did him with the glove, he deserves this

 

[Neoxon]

At this point, Black Panther's cast is pure insanity in the best way possible.

There is a scene in black panther comics where they talk about the Wakandian spy network being virtually invisible. In the panel they show an old black janitor sweeping up the oval office while Kennedy is on the phone.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Damn. This cast.

Tessa Thompson is Valkyrie in Thor: Ragnarok.

She's already Valkyrie in Thor: Ragnarok.

 

[Lan Dong Mik]

This fuckin cast man...wow

Can't wait. Just watched Cival War today. Black Panther is so good.

He's the lead villain in this, so why is that too bad?

 

[mreddie]

I don't think they've even announced that he's even going to be in this yet surprisingly, which would make his horribly shoe-horned cameo in Age of Ultron all the more pointless.

Coogler looked at the Klaw battle and threw it out, gave Feige his plans and they were likely 1000x better.

 

[Prompto]

I need this film. It was supposed to come out this year originally too

 

[Slayven]

He's the lead villain in this, so why is that too bad?

I think Dreams meant it is too bad Micheal B had to waste his time with the mess of a movie

 

[Kicko]

When's Denzel joining

When Marvel decides to allow Blue Marvel into the cinematic universe.

But how will they ever market it in Asia lol?

 

[Slayven]

When Marvel decides to allow Blue Marvel into the cinematic universe.

Marvel ain't about that life.

The "Thank you for your service, here is a white woman as a prize" part of his origin might not go over well.
