The cast of Black Panther has made some major new additions today in the form of Academy Award-winning actor Forest Whitaker, Daniel Kaluuya, Winston Duke, and Florence Kasumba. Whitaker has been cast as Zuri, an elder stateman in Wakanda. He hails from the comic books and played a similar role there, though that version of the character is a friend of Thor's and was killed by Morlun.
Kaluuya (Black Mirror) is playing’Challa confidant W’Kabi. In the comics, he was the chief of Wakandan security as well as T'Challa's loyal second-in-command, but also died at the hands of Morlun. As previously reported, Duke (Person of Interest) is set to play M'Baku, leader of a rival tribe in Wakanda. He's better known to fans as Man-Ape, though it remains to be seen if he'll take on that role here. Finally, Kasumba will reprise her Captain America: Civil War role as Ayo, a member of the Dora Milaje.
