Michael B Jordan has confirmed he and Oscar-winning actress Lupita Nyong’o will be among the cast of the upcoming Marvel superhero film Black Panther.<\/p>\n
He told The Hollywood Reporter he was “super excited” and wanted “to put a different spin on it”, but did not expand on what role he would play.<\/p>\n
The film will see Jordan reunite with his Creed director Ryan Coogler.<\/p>\n
“I’m looking forward to working with Ryan once again. It’s gonna be a good time,” he said.<\/p>\n
He added he could not wait to work with Nyong’o, who won a best supporting actress Oscar for 12 Years a Slave in 2014, as well as Chadwick Boseman – who is currently on the big screen playing Black Panther in Captain America: Civil War.<\/p>\n
Jordan played the Human Torch in last year’s Fantastic Four flop reboot. Nyong’o also played CGI character Maz Kanata in Star Wars: The Force Awakens.<\/p>\n
Black Panther will be released in February 2018.<\/p>\n
