We’ve seen him run away from the First Order, wield a lightsaber (albeit not all that competently) and team up with Han Solo, General Leia and the resistance. But it sounds as if Star Wars: The Force Awakens actor John Boyega could be scoping out up a very different side of the Disney Empire and joining the cast of Marvel’s forthcoming Africa-set superhero movie Black Panther.

Right now – before anyone gets too excited – we should make it clear that the story, in its present form, is just a rumour. The Website Heroic Hollywood claimed on Monday that “hot, unconfirmed scuttlebutt is telling me Star Wars: The Force Awakens star John Boyega may be meeting for the film”, while on Tuesday Best of Marvel noticed that, just minutes after Boyega posted a Snapchat photo of the word “Meeting”, he was followed on Twitter by Marvel President Kevin Feige (via screenrant).
