Damson Idris Breaks Silence On ‘Black Panther’ Recasting Rumor For The MCU

Is Damson Idris finally joining the MCU? The actor speaks out on the recent rumor his name was in the ring in the search to recast Black Panther.

This comes nearly five years following the sudden and tragic passing of Chadwick Boseman, who previously donned the mantle of Black Panther in his solo project and multiple crossover films. Unlike most musings on the internet, this rumor actually found its way onto the desk of Damson Idris himself when a fan @’d him stating that the actor turned down the role of Black Panther. The actor jokingly confirmed this in a sarcastic post, revealing that, alongside turning down Marvel’s attempt to recast T’Challa in the MCU, he also gave up the roles of James Bond, Eddie Murphy, and a spot in a film with Daniel Day Lewis.
