For those who weren’t fans of Avengers: Age of Ultron, they may have forgotten Andy Serkis was in the movie. Portraying arms dealer Ulysses Klaue, Serkis had the important role of introducing Wakanda to the MCU. Having stolen a lot of Vibranium (a rare metal thought to be rare in Captain America: The First Avenger), this resource later became the material for Ultron’s “final form”. And even though one of his appendages were sliced off by the murderous android, he did make it out alive.
Andy Serkis was confirmed to reprise his role in Black Panther by MCUExchange on January 26, 2017 and now that filming for the movie has started, we have a first look of him filming on set courtesy of twitter user/photographer Atlanta Filming.

The capacity of Klaue’s role in Black Panther is currently unknown but from the images, we can probably assume that it will involve an infiltration of some sort given his EMT outfit. Maybe we’re getting another Zemo situation where he bombs something in disguise. Whatever his role, T’Challa isn’t going to be happy seeing him hanging around near his turf especially now that he’s the King of a post Age-of Ultron and post-Civil War Wakanda.
Black Panther is set to hit theaters on February 16, 2018 and has an allstar cast of Chadwick Boseman, Michael B.Jordan, Lupita Nyong’o, Danai Gurira, Angela Bassett, Forest Whitaker, and so much more!
