WHAT IF...? Star Lake Bell (Black Widow) Appears To Have Joined The BLACK PANTHER: WAKANDA FOREVER Cast

Lake Bell lent her voice to Black Widow in What If...? and now appears to have joined the cast of Ryan Coogler's Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Take a look at some new set photos after the jump...

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever will soon pause shooting until the New Year, but a handful of set photos have now been shared online confirming another major casting addition. As you can see below, Lake Bell will be part of Ryan Coogler's sequel coming off her role as Black Widow in What If...?

The actress, who also voices Poison Ivy in HBO Max's Harley Quinn, is no stranger to on-camera roles and counts like the likes of No Escape and Wet Hot American Summer among her credits. 

It remains to be seen what sort of role she'll play in the Black Panther sequel, but Bell is a real talent and someone Marvel Studios was no doubt keen to enlist after working with her on What If...? Very little has been revealed about what Coogler has planned for the movie following Chadwick Boseman's death, so we can't even begin to guess who it is she's playing here. 

Hopefully, more will be revealed soon, though we're not anticipating getting any sort of first look this side of Christmas. After all, Marvel Studios has plenty of other movies to promote before this one.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is set to be released on November 11, 2022.

This is probably one of those mouth of Sauron type deals

Netflix's Arcane is one of the best comic animated series ever made.

Better than What If in every way.

I don't understand why it's not covered here...

The animation is amazing and the 45min episode's storytelling is top notch

@RevanOfKrypton - I agree. It’s truly one of the best shows I’ve watched in years. I can’t believe how good it is, and I have never even played League of Legends. They have a monster hit on their hands here.

@Waddles - I couldn’t get my jaw off the floor after the end of episode 3. I didn’t see that coming at all. Absolutely shocking. Long wait until the next drop!

Please be Songbird. Please be Songbird. Please be Songbird.
1. Songbird is a Thunderbolt and there are rumors of that team coming together
2. Songbird’s powers are derived from Klaue (Andy Serkis’ villain from Ultron/ Black Panther)
3. Lake Bell has got the Vocal range and look to pull off a comic accurate Songbird.
4. Lake is also just pretty great in general

@Eddyk68 - Tbolts would work better further down the line when the characters would have already been introduced as villains. The gimmick worked in the books because of the big reveal at the end of the first issue.

Lake Bell is great, so it's cool to not only hear her, but also see her show up
