Nigerian actress Funke Akindele's name no longer appears on the Marvel Comics movie's IMDb page.
This sudden development came just days after the Internet went wild when Nigerians 'discovered' that the Nollywood actress was listed among the full cast of the movie on IMDb.
                    
The actress was listed as a member of Dora Milaje, the personal bodyguards of the Black Panther, recruited from every tribe of Wakanda. Her IMDb page had also listed the movie as one of the films the actress has appeared in.
The actress is yet to respond to the issue.
           
Akindele was initially listed alongside other cast of the movies, including Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Robert Downey Jr, Scarlet Johannson among others.
"Avengers: Infinity War" is the most anticipated film of 2018, and assembles all superheroes in the Marvel cinematic universe.
The 1st trailer for the movie became the most-viewed trailer debut ever, with over 230 million views in its first 24 hours.
Interestingly, there is a twist to the story.
According to Nigerian News agency Yabaleftonline, Funke's never had a place in the movie but rather was a stunt pulled by a hacker.
Apparently, the hacker hacked the site which contained the names of the cast and added Funke's name.
It is further revealed that the actress couldn’t acknowledge the report after it broke on Wednesday, because no role pass was made to her.
The hacker’s mess has been fixed, and that’s why she’s no longer on the cast list for the movie.
In 2008, she released her biggest movie yet,"Jenifa," the humorous tale of a village girl with ambitious dreams and funny mannerisms.
The hit movie produced a successful sequel and a TV series that is still ongoing.
