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.
After his "Black Panther" success, Duke has kept incredibly busy. Aside from all the work he's lined up this week alone, he's also set to appear as one of the leads in Jordan Peele's hotly-anticipated "Get Out" follow-up, "Us," which is due out early next year.
No word yet on a release date for "Wonderland." Production is expected to begin sometime this fall.
