Black Panthers villainous Man-Ape has officially been confirmed for the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe movie Avengers: Infinity War.

Man-Ape sounds like the perfect set up for the upcoming Black Panthers solo movie. Read on…

CelebNMovies247.com has just received word that Avengers: Infinity War boasts a larger-than-life cast, promising another villain to go head to head Black Panther.

IMDB is reporting that Winston Duke – a.k.a. M’Baku/Man Ape – will be a part of Infinity War. Interestingly, the news was broken via a tweet from the website’s official Twitter account.

The tweets reads as follows:

“#WinstonDuke has joined the cast of #AvengersInfinityWar as M’Baku/Man-Ape, the same role he will portray in #BlackPanther!”

Who is Man-Ape?

Man Ape is one of Wakanda’s strongest warriors, who goes on to betray T’Challa/Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman). This makes sense since it’s been known that the events of Black Panther will tie into Infinity War. This also ties to reports that Letitia Wright, who plays T’Challa’s sister Shuri, will reprise her role in Infinity War.

Nevertheless, it’s certainly an interesting development. It seems that a significant amount of the world of Wakanda will be the main focus in Infinity War. Plus this is a perfect set up for M’Baku, who will have a larger role in the MCU.

Avengers: Infinity War is currently set for 2018.
