Sterling K. Brown is having a moment, and we just get to share it. The Emmy winner and Golden Globe nominee will grace the big screen in 2018 as part of Marvel's Black Panther.

Brown will play N'Jobu, who Marvel only explains as "a figure from T’Challa A.K.A. Black Panther’s past." He joins the formidable cast of Chadwick Boseman, Michael B. Jordan, Lupita Nyong'o, Angela Bassett and more.

Brown was immediately congratulated by his This Is Us costar Milo Ventimiglia, and expressed his gratitude to join the ensemble.
