John Boyega, currently in Tatooine dusting about with the Skywalker family, has seemingly let it be known that he wants to play Black Panther in the inevitable film adaptation of the Marvel comic series (might it be one of the projects Marvel announce at this week’s Comic Con in San Diego?).
On Twitter, the “Star Wars : Episode VII” and “Attack the Block” star dropped a couple of hints that suggests he’s either already in the mix or he’s letting it be known that he wants to play black-suited hero.
Boyega won’t be without competition, everyone from Chadwick Boseman to Morris Chestnut is rumoured to be on Marvel’s must-meet-with list in regards to this one.
Marvel role? ….hehehe … I'm dam right aiming for it
