In the 2018 release, Atandwa performed as a young T’Chaka, where he also taught the American lead actor, Chadwick Boseman, the skills of speaking isiXhosa in the movie – which is the language supposedly spoken in Wakanda, a fictional country.
Atandwa said on his Twitter account:
“HOLD ON!!! I have NOT been cast as the new 'Black Panther'. I don’t know where this rumour came from, but I know nothing of this.”
Twitter users quickly chipped in with hilarious comments that most probably brought a chuckle out of Atandwa.
@Simni89 said:
“You are black Panther, angisho uZuma uboshiwe.”
@Spha_Madondo said:
“Masithi uyi Black Panther then uyi Black Panther ndoda. Ngeke sizwe ngawe.”
@lesego_great said:
“Athandwa, we as a country took an executive decision that you're Black Panther and we're happy with that. So congratulations.”
Meanwhile, the existing cast list includes heavyweights such as Daniel Kaluuya, Lupita Nyong'o, Martin Freeman and Angela Bassett.
