Why Funke Akindele's Name Was Removed From Casting Of “avengers: Infinity War” by faroukfahima(op): 2:30pm On Jan 14, 2018

News broke on all Nigerian media On Wednesday January 10th that multi-award winning actress, Funke Akindele-Bello had been cast in the upcoming Hollywood superhero film “Avengers: Infinity War”.

The movie's website showed Funke was listed as a member of the Black Panther’s guards, the 'Dora Milaje'.

Our investigation shows that Funke was never contacted by the movie makers and did not go for any casting.

According to our findings, someone hacked the website of the movie and put Funke's name there and when a Nigerian spotted it, it immediately became an internet sensation.

Even Funke got to know about it just the way many of us got to hear of it that Wednesday.

This explains why she never acknowledged the news on any of her social media platforms.

The movie makers rectified the problem yesterday and removed her name, hence you cannot find it again on the cast list.

Smh...I never believed it though.

Seen the trailer and she was nowhere to be found.

There are better actresses that fits that character she was to feature in. If truly a Nigerian is needed for that role play.

She does not have the body for a Dora Milaje

Neither can she function in that character... Make she continue her weary Jennifa character.

Same way they said Beyonce will feature wizkid, another rumour that will soon turn out to be another lie.
Why can't Nigerians let things happen organically and naturally, why do we keep disgracing ourselves ,even if the news were true, we could have waited to see the movie, see her role, before going viral with stupidity.
Time to get sense now!

And OP no need to sensationalise your report, marvel is not responsible for updating cast members list, so all these tales of hack or no hack are false .
We'll have to wait and see
