He never would have come to mind if you asked me to cast the role, but he's got chops. Excited to see what they do with the character.
It’s an interesting choice. He never came to my mind as an option but he is a great actor and I don’t think it’s a bad choice.
I was about to say he seems a bit young being born in 1993 and then my brain worked and reminded me that would make him, as of this year, 28. And then I felt unreasonably old.
Well he's in a couple of the Maze Runner movies, but we all start somewhere. What's popping out to me on his IMDB is 'Midsommar', which is some kind of psycho thriller about a pagan cult in Scandinavia. Interestingly that film's main star was Florence Pugh, our new Black Widow. And he got himself a role in 'The Revenant' as a character called Bridger and he was in 'Black Mirror: Bandersnatch' So based on these three entries alone, he's either got talent or passion. Either one works for me.

GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 3 Director Confirms PEACEMAKER Star Has Joined Cast In Highly Sought After Role Praising Chukwudi Iwuji as "one of the best actors I've ever worked with," Gunn notes that he "gave him the role most every big name actor in Hollywood wanted." I have to wonder what that role is.
It would have to be a big enough named character for common hollywood folk to know about, unless it's sarcasm.
Sylvester Stallone Confirms His Return to the MCU in ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3’ Stallone returns. Let's hope Ving Rhames and Michelle Yeoh can too (even though she's a different character in Shang-Chi).

Just a random thought, but I wonder if the plot will involve the Guardians getting their original ship back? Rocket seemed to be doing repairs on it when we last saw it in Vol 2, but in Infinity War and Endgame they had the new orange ship.
