5) Andy Serkis Has A Role
In what on the surface looks like a blink-or-you’ll-miss-it cameo is a glimpse at the mysterious character that motion-capture legend Andy Serkis is playing. You might not recognize him in his human form, but he can be seen at the 1:32 mark, sporting a beard.
We knew that Serkis was a part of the film, having been offered a role following the motion-capture lessons he gave Mark Ruffalo, but still have no confirmation on which role he’s stepping into. Fans have already begun speculating though and have dug up quite a bit of evidence to suggest that he’s actually playing Ulysses Klaw, a foe to African Marvel hero Black Panther.
We’ve heard rumors that Black Panther would have a cameo in the film, and know that part of it will take place in his home nation of Wakanda. Serkis is the spitting image of Klaw in the brief moment he’s on screen, and his appearance could be a great way to set up a future Black Panther movie, which we have been dying to see for quite some time now.
Even if he’s not playing Klaw, Serkis is a fantastic actor and has gathered a ton of fan goodwill for his roles in films like The Lord of the Rings, King Kong and Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, so his part here, big or small, is bound to be a treat.
