The cast of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever has grown, as it has just been revealed by MMA Fighting that UFC champion Kamaru Usman is set to star in the upcoming Marvel film . However, it has not been revealed what Usman’s role will be as no other information has been made public.
However, Usman’s manager Ali Abdelaziz tweeted:
Don’t listen to anyone who says you can’t dream, because this young Nigerian boy made his dreams come true. All you have to do is work hard. Certainly, landing a role in any capacity in the ever-evolving Marvel Cinematic Universe feels like a dream come true.
