This according to Deadline is  O-T Fagbenle (The Handmaid’s Tale, Breaking and Entering) . Now the report does  not mention anything about whom he will be portraying but thanks to a recent report from That Hashtag Show suggested that Marvel and director Cate Shortland were searching for a “black British actor” to play the main bad guy, so there’s a pretty good chance Fagbenle is their guy.
