The exact role that Usman will play in the film has yet to be announced, but he’ll be joined by Hollywood greats such as Angela Basset and Letitia Wright. This will be the first film that Usman has been featured in during his professional MMA career and could potentially be the first of many for the UFC star.

Kamaru Usman Is Set To Make MMA Return At UFC 278
Usman is set to make his next welterweight title defense against Leon Edwards at UFC 278 on Aug. 20. He hasn’t fought since a win over Colby Covington last November at UFC 268.
Usman faced Edwards earlier in their respective careers at a 2015 UFC Fight Night event. He earned a unanimous decision win and would fight for the title eight fights later.
Usman was also recently nominated for the 2022 ESPY Award for ‘Best MMA Fighter’, an award which was ultimately given to UFC Lightweight Charles Oliveira.

Usman teased a potential feature role in a Black Panther movie back in 2018 when he posted a picture of himself in Chadwick Boseman’s T’Challa costume. Four years later, he’ll get his chance to be cast in what should be a box office hit.
