The highly acclaimed actor Daniel Kaluuya, known for his mastery of acting, will soon receive a great honor. According to recent reports, the actor from Nope will be honored with a statue in his home city of London.
According to Variety, the actor will be honored with this gesture following his role in the 2017 movie Get Out.
The star, who has also appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, was selected through a poll in which more than 5,000 British film fans voted for their choice of actors.
With this, the Oscar-winning actor has now also become one of the U.K.’s finest on-screen talents. As the fans have voted for Daniel Kaluuya, they have shown their support towards him, sending a strong message that he is the actor who they wish to see as part of the “Scenes in the Square” trail in Leicester Square.
The Queen & Slim actor had won in this poll by one-fifth of the vote.

Meanwhile, the Judas and the Black Messiah actor will join an eclectic array of legendary characters on the trail, which also includes legendary icons such as Batman, Harry Potter, Wonder Woman, Mary Poppins, and Gene Kelly.
The statues of these characters were unveiled four years ago. The trail has recently seen several additions, such as the Game of Thrones Iron Throne and Clifford the Big Red Dog, with Indiana Jones temporarily looking upon the location.
As per reports, the statue of Daniel Kaluuya will represent modern cinematic success as well as homegrown talent.
Mark Williams, deputy chief executive for Heart of London Business Alliance, stated, “We are excited to welcome Daniel Kaluuya and Jordan Peele’s ‘Get Out’ to our Scenes in the Square line-up as a celebration of a modern cinematic success and homegrown British talent.”
Get Out, the 2017 film, earned more than $250 million worldwide. The movie eventually landed four Oscar nominations: Best Picture, Best Actor (Daniel Kaluuya), and Directing (Jordan Peele). The project eventually won Peele the Academy Award for Original Screenplay.
