'Us' Actor Evan Alex Wants to Play T'Challa's Son Azari in 'Black Panther 2'

If you watched Jordan Peele's new film Us this weekend and thought, 'Wow, that little boy is really good,'" you're not alone. And it looks like the child actor has big plans for his next film.

Evan Alex portrays Jason Wilson in the new horror film, the son of Lupita Nyong'o and Winston Duke's characters. The 10-year-old actor has also appeared in Showtime's series Kidding starring Jim Carrey, along with the TV show Mani, and his next target is incredibly ambitious. He wants to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

But Evan doesn't want to just play anyone in the MCU. While speaking to Vulture, the actor stated he wants to be a superhero, specifically T'Challa/Black Panther and Ororo Munroe/Storm's son Azari, in the Black Panther sequel. In the comics, the pair get married, and in the animated movie The Next Avengers: Heroes of Tomorrow, their child Azari is one of the main characters.

As Storm is part of the X-Men franchise, which is set to join the MCU sometime in the future, it isn't crazy to think Azari could be in the Black Panther sequel--especially since last time we checked, writer/director Ryan Coogler hasn't started working on it yet.

Considering Evan just worked with Lupita and Winston, who play Nakia and M'Baku, respectively, in Black Panther, the child star might just have the right connections to join the MCU. And we're definitely here for it.
