AceShowbiz - Did LL Cool J land a role in Marvel Cinematic Universe? The rapper-turned-actor sparked such rumor after teasing on his Twitter account, "I'm so ready for this role in Marvel movie." His post came just a day after the studio announced its movie slate for Phase 3.
Marvel maps out its studio releases through 2019. They include "Black Panther" (November 3, 2017), "Captain Marvel" (July 6, 2018), and "Inhumans" (November 2, 2018). Chadwick Boseman is set for the Wakanda hero, but no actor is cast for the other two flicks.
The studio hasn't officially confirmed the lead star for "Doctor Strange" either. British actor Benedict Cumberbatch is reportedly in final talks to portray the Sorcerer Supreme, but his name was not mentioned at the studio's recent event.
