Avengers star Anthony Mackie cast in Black Mirror season 5

One of the Avengers will appear in dystopian anthology series Black Mirror.

Netflix's Emmy-winning series, created by Charlie Brooker and Annabel Jones, will return later this year for a fifth series that'll feature an episode starring Anthony Mackie.

Mackie, who plays Falcon in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, will also appear in the second season of Netflix series Altered Carbon.

Aquaman's Black Manta actor Yahya Abdul-Mateen II has also been cast in the forthcoming season of Black Mirror. It's unknown which episode he'll appear in.

Abdul-Mateen II will next be seen in Damon Lindelof's HBO series Watchmen alongside Jeremy Irons and Regina King.

Not much is known about the new series of Black Mirror. It's expected to be released this summer with an episode starring Miley Cyrus.

In December, Brooker and Jones released Bandersnatch, an interactive film version of Black Mirror starring Fionn Whitehead and Will Poulter.
