Winston Duke reportedly has an expanded role in BlackPantherWakandaForever as M'Baku, resulting in a notable pay raise for the actor, though details about the sequel's plot are still under wraps.
Winston Duke reportedly received a significant raise for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever due to M'Baku having an expanded role in the sequel. 2018's Black Panther became one of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's most influential movies upon its release nearly four years ago. The film dominated the box office and became a cultural sensation as the MCU's first movie led by a Black superhero.
However, audiences have had to wait longer than expected for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. The movie has been hit by various setbacks, none more significant than the tragic passing of star Chadwick Boseman. Marvel and Coogler decided against recasting T'Challa, which resulted in the script being rewritten to work without its lead character. It has long been expected that part of the rewrites meant more prominent roles for Letitia Wright's Shuri, Danai Gurira's Okoye, and others.
It makes sense that Winston Duke's M'Baku takes on a bigger role in Black Panther 2. In the original movie, he was a fan-favorite character and returned for minor appearances in Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. The sequel has been put in the position where it needs to elevate its supporting characters in the wake of T'Challa's absence.
With Black Panther 2 scheduled to hit theaters later this year, audiences won't have to wait too long to find out precisely what M'Baku's role is. The first trailer should arrive sometime this summer and at least provide a glimpse of what Winston Duke's MCU character does. However, many won't want to wait that long to find out and will begin speculating about the possibilities.
