Academy Award winner Daniel Kaluuya will not return for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
A scheduling conflict with the filming of the upcoming sci-fi horror film Nope will see him miss out on the history-making, box office-breaking sequel.
Kaluuya played W'Kabi, the former head of Wakanda's Border Tribe and best friend to T'Challa, played by the late Chadwick Boseman.
In the new film, W'Kabi betrayed his best friend and sided with Erik Killmonger, the villain who was embodied by Michael B. Jordan.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever has been reshaped after the tragic passing of Boseman in 2020.
