Discussion It still baffles me that Marvel didn't use Djimon Honsou in any of the Black Panthers

I can understand not using him as THE Black Panther since he's getting older but not casting him in any role at all for either movie??. The King's Man (which I believe came out after) showed that bro was still pretty agile. And yea he had that little role in Guardians of the Galaxy but they bring back the actors for different roles all the time. Just crazy to me they didn't use him at all.

EDIT: A lot of y'all came in here with some extremely ignorant comments. Thank you to the people that actually use what's between your ears.

Ok sorry. Most of the main cast is African American or African British or far enough removed from the continent of Africa, and NOT directly from Africa or an immigrant from Africa. Lupita grew up in Mexico, Letitia group up in the UK i believe, Winston Duke grew up in NYC. Besides that Guyana and Trinidad are in Caribbean. All those people are from the Americas except Daniel from the UK.

Edit: Lupita was born in Mexico but grew up in Kenya. So theres one actor of all the main cast connected to the continent.
