Fans couldn’t keep calm after the former two weight champion Daniel Cormier revealed that the welterweight king Kamaru Usman will feature in the next installment of Marvel’s Black Panther franchise, Black Panther 2: Wakanda Forever.

Daniel Cormier, desk analyst Laura Sanko, and UFC fighter Kevin Holland spoke about the most recent trailer of Marvel’s Black Panther 2 during the UFC 277 weigh-in show

During their talk, DC disclosed that the UFC pound-for-pound number one will also be seen in the film. Usman reportedly stated his intention to participate in the Black Panther sequel during one of his appearances on the popular podcast, ‘The Joe Rogan Experience.’

It’s interesting to note that Usman’s desire now appears to have come true. And the joy over the announcement was contagious among UFC supporters.

A user wrote, “Oh great.”

“Imagine him being a black panther.” another user wrote. 

“W Usman,” a fan wrote

“Kamaru Usman is in Black Panther 2? Oh yeah this film already 1000/10,” a fan wrote on Twitter. 

However, not everyone was glad about Usman’s role in the movie. Some fans were upset about the news and shared their dislike in the comments section of an Instagram post.

“His acting is A PROBLEM!” a user wrote

“when the fook did marty become an actor, makes sense though my guy has like 5 different personalities,” a fan wrote.

“Then what’s Izzy?” one fan commented.

A user wrote, “He’ll get his powers from PEDs.”

“Will Ali be in the background??” one fan asked.

‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ is one of the most dominating fighters with an undefeated reign in the promotion. He has successfully defended his UFC title five times in his UFC career.

Now the Nigerian-born champion is preparing for his next battle. He will take on the number two welterweight contender Leon Edwards next inside the UFC octagon. The much anticipated welterweight title bout will take place inside the Vivint Arena in Salt Lake City, Utah next month.

Apparently, Usman has previously defeated Edwards once during the first slugfest in 2015. However, the Brit has drastically improved since then and secured a spot at the top. Hence, it will be exciting to see the two clash inside the cage again.
