Winston Duke brought some serious charisma to the imposing M’Baku, and while Black Panther helped put the actor on the map, it almost cost him a role in Jordan Peele’s Us.
Last year, Black Panther took the U.S. by storm and became one of the highest grossing movies of all time.
The director said he initially thought Duke might be too tough for the horror movie.
The film was packed with standout characters like Shuri and Okoye, but M’Baku became a surprise scene-stealer.
