Chadwick Boseman has played some pretty famous men and now he's reportedly set to tackle one that has been hidden within history.
According to Deadline, the "Black Panther" star has been cast in a story set in the 16th century as "Yasuke, the first African samurai to swing a sword in Japan."
"The legend of Yasuke is one of history's best kept secrets, the only person of non-Asian origin to become a samurai," Boseman said.
"That's not just an action movie, that's a cultural event, an exchange, and I am excited to be part of it."
