Last month it was reported that Michael B. Jordan is set to reunite with his Fruitvale Station and Creed director Ryan Coogler with a role in Marvel’s Black Panther, and now the actor has confirmed his casting.
“I’m super excited, especially to put a different spin on it,” Jordan tells The Hollywood Reporter. “I’m looking forward to working with Ryan Coogler once again. It’s gonna be a good time. I can’t wait to work with Lupita Nyong’o and Chadwick Boseman.”
At this point, Jordan’s role is being kept under wraps, although the original report suggested that he could be playing the film’s villain.
Black Panther is set for release on February 2nd 2018.
