*“Black Panther” stars Chadwick Boseman, Winston Duke and Lupita Nyong’o have lined up follow-up projects set to hit the big screen next year.
Nyong’o and Duke are in the cast of “Us,” the latest movie from “Get Out” filmmaker Jordan Peele. Story details are being kept under wraps, but it reportedly centers on two couples, one white and one black.
Elisabeth Moss of Hulu’s “The Handmaid’s Tale” and Tim Heidecker of Adult Swim’s “Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!,” also star in the film, which is meant to be as provocative and thought-provoking as Peele’s Oscar-winning debut, “Get Out,” sources tell The Hollywood Reporter.
Peele is once again directing from his own script. He also is producing via his Monkeypaw Productions, alongside Sean McKittrick and Jason Blum.
Universal has dated the movie for a March 15, 2019, release.
Boseman, meanwhile, will produce and star in the upcoming action-thriller “17 Bridges” for STXfilms, Variety reports.
Boseman will play a disgraced NYPD detective who, after being thrust into a citywide manhunt for a cop killer, is given a shot at redemption.
Brian Kirk, whose credits include “Luther” and “Game of Thrones,” is directing from a script by Adam Mervis (“The Philly Kid”).
Boseman’s writing and producing partner, Logan Coles, will also produce with “Avengers: Infinity War” directors Joe and Anthony Russo under their recently launched Agbo banner. Mike Larocca of Agbo will executive produce.
The movie will start production in September.
