Star Wars actor John Boyega reportedly in talks to join Marvel for Black Panther

Unconfirmed reports suggest that John Boyega is meeting Marvel honchos for a role in the film despite playing one of the leads in another gargantuan franchise – namely Star Wars.

The past week has been alight with Black Panther casting news but the latest name rumoured to be in the running to join the ever-growing ensemble is perhaps the most intriguing.

The British actor recently teased Rian Johnson’s follow-up stating it will be “darker, bigger” than JJ Abrams’ predecessor.
