Due to recent additions to his filming schedule, Win- ston Duke has cancelled his Oct. 25 lecture at USF. The University Lec- ture Series board is working with Duke’s team to deter- mine if he can be rescheduled for a later date.
Earlier this year, Duke made his feature film debut in Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther, in which he played the fan-favorite character M’Baku, leader of the Jabari Tribe. Duke reprises the character in the current Avengers: Infinity War.
