Daniel Kaluuya is a great actor and I hope he'll get a bigger role in the "Black Panther" franchise. What do you think about the character of W'Kabi and what should you expect for the future?

He could be relevant as a side villain / grey character for the next panthers or opposed to his wife Okoye.

Nothing and nothing. Waste of a good actor. But he’s gone crazy so don’t expect to see him in much anymore.

LeopardComfortable992025-12-09 22:11

What do you mean?

ConstantRefills2025-12-09 22:15

Mostly rumors but considering he hasn’t been in anything since Spider-verse 2, I think something’s up. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-14944609/what-happened-Daniel-Kaluuya-British-star-barely-appeared-big-screen.html

Phatang2025-12-09 22:24

Cult allegations I think? Something to do with some PA he hired

shellexyz2025-12-10 16:54

Mindhead, probably.

myersjw2025-12-09 22:29

Thankfully the rumor is that he’s gotten away from that cult lady earlier this year and will be showing up again in stuff

Phatang2025-12-09 22:36

Good! Need me some more Posh Kenneth!

chiefbrody622025-12-15 00:19

Haha, he'll always be Posh Kenneth to me, no matter what!

LostEsco2025-12-09 22:59

He just recently was talking in an interview about a hopes (mostly just sounded like he was up for the idea) for a Spider-Punk spinoff series

TrpTrp262025-12-09 22:44

I had no idea, my opinion of him is only based on his work. I hope he won't join the ridiculously long list of talented actors lost for some shit.

Not_A_Spy_for_Apple2025-12-09 22:57

I saw him at the Laker game against the Jazz about 2 weeks ago, he was with a Marvel producer. Only thing I can think of is he’s getting ready for Black Panther 3.

ckal092025-12-11 02:43

Which Marvel producer

FallenAngelII2025-12-11 11:59

You recognize Marvel producers on sight?

Not_A_Spy_for_Apple2025-12-11 12:34

No my wife did, we were in the suite directly in front of this dude.

_PM_ME_PANGOLINS_2025-12-11 01:21

The Daily Mail is a shit rag that will write anything to get clicks.

JSevatar2025-12-11 00:14

He got into some cult or some shit

Successful-Garden1922025-12-10 01:08

I mean he was in a movie three years ago. Lol. Some actors aren’t in movies every year.

Stillwindows952025-12-10 16:18

I agree, he was very wooden in this and I know he can act better than the role he was given in this movie.

M'Baku however put 150% into his role, probably due to better scripting and direction of his character but I don't really see any reason why Daniel wasn't given more justice, he's excellent as an actor.

Crimkam2025-12-09 22:06

i think they should recast him somewhere else in the mcu

vanillasky6872025-12-09 22:23

Blame the writers lol

crankyoldlizard2025-12-09 22:52

Because Klaue (who killed his parents - right?) escaped)

Katharinemaddison2025-12-09 23:58

Killmonger as far as anyone knew won the throne.

It’s a very Early Modern dilemma but not without precedent for that.

Weird_Ad_13982025-12-10 00:12

He still sided with Killmonger after knowing with certainty that he didn't win the throne.

Katharinemaddison2025-12-10 00:17

Technically he won the fight.

Weird_Ad_13982025-12-10 08:34

But not the war.

tiggoftigg2025-12-10 23:21

If my best friend let the person who killed my parents escape, and someone else was offering vengeance. I might turn on them too. And while he may not know it, though he probably does, t’challa was going to kill Bucky for killing his father. T’challa became a different person.

Let’s not forget many people sided with the throne. Not T’challa. T’challa was king for like a week before all this shit went down.

Martipar2025-12-09 22:11

Or to give him his actual name [Parking Pataweyo. ](https://youtu.be/Tw5d8GwEC2s)

HoowaiArYuhMaDough2025-12-09 22:27

I hate when they cast decent names in such one-note shit roles. Him, Christian bale, Giancarlo Esposito, and the list goes on

DJfunkyPuddle2025-12-09 22:30

I'd have to really think back on other movies but I think Black Panther wasted the most talent in one project

HoowaiArYuhMaDough2025-12-09 22:34

Fuck, I forgot about Forest Whitaker and Andy Serkis. There’s just so many names they pissed away for a short-sighted money grab

fisheggsoup2025-12-10 06:42

What should they have done with these two given the story that took place (and was originally supposed to take place) in Wakanda Forever?

Zuri was never going to be a major character. I understand the disappointment of not having Klaue anymore.

HoowaiArYuhMaDough2025-12-10 06:55

I don’t care for the character of Zuri. Forest Whitaker is such a fantastic actor and seeing what he was capable of on The Shield made me disappointed that his talent was wasted on a bleh role. I understand it might’ve been not wanting to be committed to a bigger role for multiple years, but it’s still disappointing nonetheless.

fisheggsoup2025-12-10 06:41

How were they wasted? Because they didn't continue on into the second movie?

chickenkebaap2025-12-09 22:37

Harrison Ford may also be a one off character given his age

HoowaiArYuhMaDough2025-12-09 22:39

Yea, his casting irked me for that exact reason. He definitely killed it but I don’t foresee any longevity in that role.

chickenkebaap2025-12-09 22:47

It definitely seems like Thaddeus Ross has been retired as a character in the MCU

RedIsNotMyFaveColor2025-12-09 23:58

I’d say they moreseo made a contingency plan. He can easily come back just as easy as he can stay gone.

fuzzyfoot882025-12-09 23:24

I’d like at least 1 more appearance so it isn’t such a one off situation. Maybe he’ll show up in Doomsday or Secret Wars in some political scene.

yosayoran2025-12-09 22:47

Most of those people don't want to be tied down to long projects though. They wouldn't sign on for a long multiple film deals.

Bale should've been just as iconic and memorable as Blanchett as Hela but Watiti ruined that movie.

When BP was cast Daniel Kaluuya was pretty much unknown, and now he can do whatever he wants.

Some of these people will probably get recast after the reboot, but if marvel are smart they'd look more into lesser known actors to rebuild.

WicketyWaggety2025-12-09 23:37

While some have been wasted, not every good actor in Hollywood can be the main character of one franchise. Some are gonna be one offs.

HoowaiArYuhMaDough2025-12-10 00:35

That’s fine, but it’s jarring

chiefbrody622025-12-15 00:21

It's really the only reason they get big names like that. A lot of big actors wouldn't have agreed to be in it if there were multi-movie deals, including the actors you listed.

HoowaiArYuhMaDough2025-12-15 00:30

What a load of horse shit. Giancarlo was flaunting the idea of playing a character like Professor X for quite sometime, which indicated he was definitely willing to commit to a multi-picture deal.

Again, one-off isn’t necessarily bad if it’s done right. Look at Hela, The High Evolutionary, or Green Goblin if you isolate only to his MCU appearance.

I still blame Disney/Marvel for bringing in these names and giving them unmemorable roles for a quick buck.

Fun-Seaworthiness5722025-12-09 22:41

You think he’s going to wear the gorilla costume? I would want that

PucaFilms2025-12-09 23:26

It's M'Bakku (Winston Duke) who's based on Man Ape, not Wakabi

dearskorpiomagazine2025-12-09 22:53

Great actor but the actors should serve the purpose of the characters, not the other way around.

TrpTrp262025-12-09 22:56

I agree, storytelling comes first! But also, good actors can deliver and contribute to make the character great.

dearskorpiomagazine2025-12-10 13:07

Oh totally

Mickeyjj272025-12-10 00:58

I always think it’s silly when people come out and say an actor was wasted. Idris really wasn’t a huge blockbuster star but since he started becoming one near the end of the Thor movies people started saying he was wasted.

tiggoftigg2025-12-10 23:16

Ya know what? You’re right! I’ve never not thought of him as a star because of The Wire and Luther.

Actors being “wasted” and “underrated” pretty much anything almost always irk me. It’s almost never what either words mean.

drntl2025-12-09 22:55

A pretty forgettable character.

Western-Chart-67192025-12-10 00:19

W’Kabi always felt like a character they didn’t fully explore, and Kaluuya’s too good to leave out for long. If he comes back I can see him landing in that grey area maybe clashing a bit with Okoye or adding some tension to Wakanda without being a full villain.

FDVP2025-12-10 00:45

He’s married to A Dora-Milage, correct? Further exploring the complicated Throne/Mantle of BP/Wakanda should be just as important to the next BP movie as Asgard is to the Future of Thor. Dora-Milage a big part of that. But prob nah.

Ghostpants_2025-12-10 02:43

Married to who? That’s not a character.

FDVP2025-12-10 03:08

Yeah yeah. He’s married to a Dora in BP1. He and her split sides. Cmon.

chiefbrody622025-12-15 00:22

Lol he's married to Okoye, head of the Dora Milage. The Dora Milage is essentially the Wakanda secret service/top warriors. Not a person. C'mon. Did you really think Okoye's real name was Dora...?

FDVP2025-12-15 00:44

No. Just skipping pontificating over small details we all know. Dora’s important to the future of Wakanda. He’s married to one. Yes, he could show. But why?

There… A Dora. Happy? This is old.

garbage19952025-12-10 01:54

His character is in a wakandian prison

Neptune282025-12-10 02:23

I actually saw him coming out from the hotel to go to the Met Gala, he was a few feet away from me. This older woman next to me thought he was Chadwick Boseman!

DJTLaC2025-12-10 04:09

Really depends on if his tribe has anything do in the next BP plot or what Okoye's role is going forward. I agree he's a great actor but I kind of think his stardom has outgrown being a supporting character to another supporting character.

Gemini58462025-12-10 05:55

I don't see much they could do with him, and i don't think it's necessary to do much with him.

If they were to, I think it would be cool to do something where they need extra reinforcements because the villain is too tough, so as a last resort they break out Daniel Kaluuya and his loyal followers to help fight.

fisheggsoup2025-12-10 06:45

Friendly reminder that *Black Panther* released in 2018; Kaluuya's only notable role prior to that was *Get Out*.

These gripes about the popular actor being "wasted" are revisionist.

DoctorDazza2025-12-11 06:50

Kaluuya has been great since I first saw him in Skins in 2007.

Get Out was his US breakthrough but he was in a ton of stuff before then around the world and became popular from those roles.

chiefbrody622025-12-15 00:20

Has no one watched Skins?

Better-Snow-71912025-12-10 08:34

After his treason, I don't see any place for the character continuing in the Black Panther franchise. Wouldn't be bothered to see him in another roll, especially with multiverse implications of expansion and old actors in new rolls.

LittleCupcake24782025-12-10 08:36

He could be a street-level crime figure with Wakandan connections able to peddle vibranium and weapons. It would be an interesting parallel to Ulysses Klaue, ironic given W'Kabi loathed him.

GoodDawgAug2025-12-10 23:52

Nope was a damn good movie. I don’t know what to expect from the character W’Kabi given he did Nope instead of being in Wakanda Forever…feel like his absence from that film might need an explanation in story, but many not. Decent character, nothing that special though.

WORTHLESS13212020192025-12-13 23:00

Get Out, of here with that

chiefbrody622025-12-15 00:17

As long as it doesn't confict with a Jordan Peele movie, I'm sure he'll be back. He missed being in other movies due to conflicts with Get Out and Nope filming at the same time as MCU movies filming.
