Winston Duke, who returns as M’Baku in the upcoming “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” has joined the cast of Ryan Gosling’s “The Fall Guy” film adaptation for Universal, according to an individual with knowledge of the project. Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Emily Blunt also star.
“Hobbs & Shaw” filmmaker David Leitch is directing the project, which Universal acquired as a package in an auction. The feature film is inspired by the classic 1980s series of the same name created by Glen A. Larson.
Leitch, a stuntman-turned-director who got his start as an un-credited director on the original “John Wick,” most recently directed the action film “Bullet Train” at Sony starring Brad Pitt.
