'Black Panther 2': Daniel Kaluuya confirms he won’t return for 'Wakanda Forever'

Daniel Kaluuya will not apear in latest black Panther movie

Daniel Kaluuya reveals that due to scheduling conflicts, he was unable to film Black Panther 2, and thus will not reprise his role as W'Kabi.

Daniel Kaluuya will not be reprising his role as Black Panther in Black Panther 2: Wakanda Forever. Previously, it was assumed that Kaluuya would reprise his role as W'Kabi from the first Black Panther film. Leticia Wright, Martin Freeman, Lupita Nyong'o, and Danai Gurira are rumoured to return for the sequel to Black Panther.

Now, Rotten Tomatoes awards editor Jacqueline Coley has revealed that Kaluuya will not reprise his role as W'Kabi in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Coley revealed that in an interview, Kaluuya stated that he would not be returning to Black Panther.

Kaluuya explained that he couldn't play W'Kabi in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever due to scheduling conflicts with Nope. Take a look at the tweet below:


This is certainly disappointing news, given W'Kabi's importance in Black Panther. However, Kaluuya's decision to pursue Nope over the Black Panther sequel makes perfect sense. Kaluuya has previously praised Nope director Jordan Peele, crediting him with restoring his faith in acting. Given the importance of Peele's Get Out to Kaluuya's career, the actor's commitment to the Peele project makes sense. When Black Panther: Wakanda Forever hits theatres this fall, it will be interesting to see how or if W'Kabi's absence is addressed.

Jessica Jones Highlights Sexist Treatment Of Female Marvel Heroes

Image
Jessica Jones, one of Marvel's most powerful female characters, considers how poorly female superheroes are treated in the society she inhabits. Jessica Jones is not typically the first female superhero that comes to mind. She isn't as eye-catching as Captain Marvel or She-Hulk. With the exception of her time as Jewel, Jess prefers a leather jacket and a cup of coffee than the conventional cape and tights. Jessica Jones offers a perceptive commentary on the present condition of vigilantism and what it means to be a woman in that milieu in Marvel's The Variants. Ten years have passed since Jones was under Kilgrave's, a.k.a. the Purple Man, control when The Variants takes place. Jessica is prepared to retire from crimefighting now that she is married to Luke Cage and has a daughter. The first victim of Kilgrave, Maria Snyder, who is accused of killing her family, makes an attempt to deny responsibility in court. Unfortunately, Jessica is the only one who has an understand...

Game of Thrones actress Lena Headey is being sued for $1.5 million by her former UK agency, Troika, for a variety of unpaid commission fees. These costs cover Thor: Love and Thunder, a movie in which Headey was cast but whose producers ultimately decided to delete her scenes. According to Troika, now known as YMU, Headey expressly owes them at least $500,000 for the movie Love and Thunder. Variety has revealed that she did indeed play a part in the original script written by director Taika Waititi, despite the fact that her inclusion in the Marvel Studios summer blockbuster was never promoted or formally announced. That position's specifics are still unknown. Numerous A-List actors were eliminated from Thor 4's final edit, including Headey's role.

Marvel Star Will Poulter Says Superhero Body Transformations Are 'Unhealthy' and 'Unrealistic'

Image
Source: Twitter Will Poulter, one of the MCU's newest actors, has stated that getting a superhuman physical change without a studio paying for your meals and training is "unhealthy" and "unrealistic." In a recent interview with The Independent, he said, "It's difficult to talk about it because with Marvel it's all secret squirrel." "However, the most important thing is that your mental and physical wellness come first, with aesthetic aspirations coming second." If you don't have the financial backing of a studio to pay for your meals and training, you'll wind up advocating something unhealthy and unrealistic.In that regard, I'm in a really fortunate position, and I wouldn't advise someone to prepare for that job the way I did." What is this job that Poulter is referring to? His role as Adam Warlock, a genetically engineered superhuman in the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 film, which will be released next year. La...
