According to Deadline, Ben-Adir will portray at least one of the film’s big bads, but we’ll have to wait and see exactly what villain he’ll play.
The increasingly popular actor will indeed take on a lead role opposite Samuel L. Jackson and Ben Mendelsohn, although it isn’t yet clear what that role will be.
Having made awards-season waves for his work as Malcolm X in Regina King’s Oscar-nominated historical drama One Night in Miami, Kingsley Ben-Adir is heading for completely new acting waters by joining the MCU with Secret Invasion.
Whoever it is, I expect it to be a stellar performance regardless, though I’ll just say it right here that I will 100% lose my shit if he ends up playing the mega-antagonist Galactus.
