The details of the characters to be played by Kingsley and Boutella have been kept under wraps. While Rand Ravich and Simon Kinberg wrote the film, James Coyne is handling recent rewrites.

Kingsley, who won an Oscar for his performance in Richard Attenborough’s Gandhi (1982), will be seen in Marvel’s series Wonder Man, in which he will reprise his MCU character of Trevor Slattery.
