According to The Hollywood Reporter, Ron Cephas Jones, who plays Bobby Fish on Luke Cage, will be appearing in Venom.
In addition to his part on Luke Cage, Ron Cephas Jones is probably best known lately for his role on NBC’s hit show This Is Us, for which he has received an Emmy nomination this year for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series.
It is unclear if Venom was the source of those scheduling conflicts.
Early this year, Ron Cephas Jones was attached to another big superhero film on the other side of the comic book aisle when he was set to play the Wizard in DC’s Shazam! but he had to pass on the role due to scheduling conflicts with the part then going to Djimon Hounsou.
