Black Panther 2
Vibranium salt-shakers at the ready, because UK paper Metro reports Donald Glover is in “informal talks” to appear in the Black Panther sequel as a new villainous character… villainous that is, if Michael B. Jordan doesn’t reprise his role as (the very dead by the end of Black Panther) Erik Killmonger. But noted rumour-monger Umberto Gonzalez has hit back at Metro’s reporting as “untrue,” however, so maybe take all this with a hearty bit of scepticism for now.”
