The film will have Jordan reteaming with Creed and Fruitvale Station director Ryan Coogler for a third time.

Jordan joins star Chadwick Boseman, who plays the titular Black Panther, also known as King T’Challa of Wakanda. Boseman made his debut as T'Challa in Captain America: Civil War.

According to reports, Lupita Nyong’o is also in negotiations to join the film’s cast.

Jordan’s role remains unknown, but rumor has it he could be playing a villain. Marvel had no comment on the report.
