Good post
All this Yeye bloggers like "yabaleft" on facebook has been telling people fake stories that it is Genevieve and funke akindele they used as one of the cast 4 d movie...
Lol, Funke might feature in Civil War as a Wakanada Warrior but i think her cast would be uncredited too. Gene is not in the cast and crew member at all.
Imagine funke fighting after all the plenty Eba, she has swallowed... If it's really through she's part of the super hero movies, I really can't wait to see her fight... 😂
After the Marvel's Spiderman homecoming, i am having high hopes for this one, and to cap it up its centering on africa....
Thanks for bringing this on sir
Most welcome sir.
An all Black cast superhero movie is a revolution
We rock 🤘
Cool, but would have been better if nigerian nollyhood actor or actress were the ones that was use.....
