According to Heroic Hollywood, the actor is currently in talks to take on an unknown role. However, this is nothing but speculation at this point.

The Black Panther cast list is growing quickly as Michael B. Jordan and Oscar-winner Lupita Nyong'o were announced last week. Jordan will play the film's villain while Nyong'o is on board as Black Panther's love interest.

Chadwick Boseman will be back in the title role after the character was introduced in Captain America: Civil War.

The movie will see Boseman team up with filmmaker Ryan Cooglar for the first time. This will be the third film of Cooglar's directing career and comes after the success of Fruitvale Station and Creed.

Black Panther will be the biggest to date for Cooglar and will be the first time that he has tackled a Marvel film.

As for Boyega, he is currently filming Star Wars: Episode VIII , where he will reprise the role of Finn. He took on the role for the first time last year in The Force Awakens, a film that shot him to stardom.

Should he land a role in Black Panther, Boyega has a very busy 2016 ahead of him and will see his star rocket even further.

However, Star Wars: Episode VIII will not hit the big screen until 2017. The actor has also completed work on The Circle, which sees the actor star alongside Emma Watson, Tom Hanks, and Karen Gillan.

Black Panther is already one of the most anticipated films on the Marvel schedule and was a character who has thrilled fans and audiences in Civil War.

However, Black Panther is not set to be released until the summer of 2018. It is not yet clear if we will be seeing this character in the Avengers: Infinity War - Part 1, which will be released before the Black Panther solo film.

Black Panther is released 6th July 2018.
