Martin Freeman returns as Everett Ross in BlackPantherWakandaForever, and the actor recently spoke about his role as an ally in that universe.
Martin Freeman returns in the role of US Government official Everett Ross in the upcoming Black Panther sequel, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, and has been speaking at length about his role within both the Black Panther universe and the MCU at large.
In an interview with Digital Spy, Freeman admitted that his character was undoubtedly not within the inner circle of the Wakandan hierarchy, but that didn't mean he couldn't prove valuable to the most advanced nation on Earth. "He's the man on the outside. Because he's working for one of the most… I would say the most powerful country in the world, except for Wakanda. In this world, I guess it's along with Wakanda," said Freeman.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Following his original appearance in Civil War, the character has straddled shades of grey and ambiguity, to begin with, before showing more of a proper commitment to the Wakandan cause following lifesaving treatment by Shuri to a potentially fatal wound he sustained in the line of duty during the events of Black Panther. "In those black-and-white terms, you're not sure if he's a goodie or a baddie," Freeman continued.
"He’s working for who some people regard as… you know, it’s the world’s only superpower, right? And any superpower doesn’t want to get its power challenged. Whether Ross was Black, white or brown, he’d be within the heart of that. His main interest is to protect his own country. Clearly, he looks different.
Wakanda Forever sees the return of Ryan Coogler as director, while Freeman joins fellow returning actors Letitia Wright, Lupita Nyong'o, Angela Bassett, Danai Gurira, and Winston Duke as well as MCU newcomers Michaela Coel, Dominique Thorne, and Tenoch Huerta. The plot of Wakanda Forever revolves around the loss of King T'Challa , while introducing a new iteration of the King's alter ego, the Black Panther, while Wakanda wards off the threat of the underwater nemesis, Namor.
