BLACK PANTHER's Winston Duke to Star Alongside Mark Wahlberg in Netflix Drama

"Black Panther" breakout star Winston Duke is set to star opposite Mark Whalberg in Netflix's "Wonderland," according to Variety.

The film is being adapted from the novel "Robert B. Parker's Wonderland," written by Ace Atkins. The book is part of the Spenser series - named after a fictional character in the series of detective novels initially written by American mystery writer Parker and later by Atkins.

The story follows Spenser who, fresh out of prison, is sucked back into Boston's underbelly as he uncovers the truth about a sensational murder and the twisted conspiracy behind it.

Duke will play Hawk, Spenser's close friend and an equally tough, but somewhat shady image of Spenser himself.

Pete Berg is set to direct the crime drama with Neal H. Moritz producing via his Original Film banner, alongside Wahlberg, Stephen Levinson and Berg via his Film 44 company. The script will be adapted by Sean O'Keefe with Toby Ascher executive producing alongside Film 44's John Logan Pierson.

Besides "Black Panther," Duke landed the lead in Jordan Peele's upcoming film "Us." He is also set to star in "Heroine" the Paramount Players film.
