Avengers - Infinity War: Funke Akindele not among the cast, movie website was hacked - Report

Nigerian actress, Funke Akindele-Bello will not be featuring in the Hollywood movie 'Avengers - Infinity War', days after the news broke that the multi-award winning actress, had been cast in the movie.

The movie's website showed Funke Akindele was listed as a member of the Black Panther’s guards, the 'Dora Milaje'.

According to report, the Nigerian actress was never contacted by the movie makers and did not go for any casting.

The report also revealed that someone hacked into the movie website and put Funke's name as a cast in the upcoming movie, which later went viral after Nigerians saw it.


The actress didn't react to the news because apparently, it was false.


The movie company has now removed Funke's name from the casts after the report got to them. A new report says Funke Akindele was replaced with Genevieve Nnaji in Avengers 2018 (Infinity War) for the role of Dora Milaje.
