LOL. There is no way this is legit. No way in hell does Queen Divine Justice show up in the MCU rather than Shuri.

[Luke Cage]

This reads more like a who's who of Black Panther, rather than an actual casting sheet. Reeks of B.S.

[Double 0]

That's like most of the Priest run cast... Not buying it.

[Rogue Star]

No way Coogler is including any black man named Man-Ape. Ain't gunna happen.

I'm also pretty sceptical of a casting sheet that asks for ALL of Panther's villains of note - if they want to turn Panther into his own franchise, there is no way they would use Klaw AND Man-Ape AND Killmonger AND White Wolf all in the first film. That would be near the equivalent of having Thor fight Loki, Hela, Enchantress, Malekith and Surtur in Thor 1.

I was about to say that. That's way too many characters for a first movie.

Is there any, any at all, research behind articles anymore?

Or is it all a race to post the latest rumor found on twitter?

This literally makes absolutely 0 sense.

Yeah, zero chance this is real. Even putting aside the unlikelihood of the tertiary Priest characters playing a part, there's no way in hell Man-Ape ever sees the silver screen.

(Besides, Lupita Nyong'o as Malice and Michael B. Jordan as Achebe? Too awesome to be real.)

They can call him man-ape in the casting call, as long as its M'Baku in the movie. The list is BS because its like every major Black Panthr character it seems except shuri. And the descriptions are out the comics. Zemo killed Tchaka in the MCU not Klaw. This is clearly a fan list of who they think should be in it. Also Klaw is already cast why include him and the actors name on a casting call?

And N'gassi shoudnt be auditioned for. Give it to Morgan Freeman and move on. We know he can do the accent, and he loves CBMs.

you would think there would be a market for "why this rumor is shit" articles, but I guess not.

[Hypestyle]

Well at this point, isn’t it a good thing that “suspect” casting calls are being leaked for an actually about to happen Black Panther movie? It's not all fantasy wish-listing anymore. LOL.

Wasn't Shuri in CA:CW as well?

spoilers:

She wasn't named, but that looked like Shuri with T'Challa when he met Black Widow at the car.

That casting agency is legit, at least.
