Will Black Panther Appear In THE AVENGERS 2? Morris Chestnut Seems To Think So

We heard Morris Chestnut say recently that he was learning more about Marvel's Black Panther, leading many to think that he may be up to play the character in the MCU. And now, he sends another cryptic tweet suggesting that T'Challa will be in The Avengers 2.

Last night, Kick-Ass 2 actor Morris Chestnut tweeted that he was familiarizing himself with the Marvel Comics character Black Panther. This led many to believe that he was actually up for the role of T'Challa in the long in-development film adaptation from Marvel Studios. He has since deleted the tweet, seemingly flaming the fire even more so. Now, Chestnut has sent out another intriguing tweet in response to somebody talking about a Black Panther movie, suggesting that the King of Wakanda will appear in the follow-up to The Avengers before his own solo movie.




Of course, this doesn't confirm that Chestnut has landed the role of Black Panther, but yesterday's tweet ("It’s time to get familiar with the Black Panther character.") added with today's is certainly interesting. Plus, does "Not final" refer to plans for a Black Panther movie or his playing T'Challa? Either way, it sounds like Chestnut knows what's going on, and that he shouldn't be talking about it yet. What do you think?

The Avengers 2 is set to hit theaters May 1st, 2015.

There can't be any truth in this. Marvel are very strict on information. He would be murdered!

Morris as Ricky in Boyz In the Hood, c'man now...and a ton of other roles no one here has seen. He'd make a decent t'Challa

What @53 said,but as long the actors are dedicated to the role, then that's all that matters.

I want a Black Panther movie and I want it now. None of this 'Director's take on it' crap (are you hearing me Mark Webb??), EXACTLY like he is in the comics. Do it!

I liked yesterdays tweet, but now this is starting to seem unlikely.

If he was really talking to Marvel and Josh about playing Black Panther, he wouldnt reveal it by himself if he hasnt signed the contract yet, so this wont help him to get the role. Marvel would be seriously pissed with this if true, Im sure.

he's said that the character will be in the avengers 2 and that he's reading black panther books. That most likely means that none of this is true and that the character wont be in the avengers 2. This just reminds me of back in the summer when about 7 actors came out saying the wanted the role.

Black panther is a bad ass hero.

wow, that escalated quickly. This Morris. Smart man. He used twitter only like two times. I think Marvel will notice him at any second.

With rumors of GOTG being well into the future and now this rumor that BP might be introduced in Avengers 2 I'm starting to think Antman, Dr Strange, and Black Panther will all be introduced in Avengers 2 then do solo movies and Guardians of the Galaxy will be standalone to the since that it will reference back to what the Avengers did in the past

yeah, good actor but he's too old. Cast an unknown African actor in his late 20s or early 30s.

Whether it is true or not, it seems Black Panther will happen at some point. The character is now closer to stepping onto the big screen than he was a year ago.

I'm really happy that Black Panther is coming to the MCU, but I honestly don't think Hodge is the right man for the job.
