Daniel Kaluuya will be honored with a statue in his home city of London celebrating the actor’s breakout role in 2017 hit “Get Out.”
The Oscar-winning star, now considered one of the U.K.’s finest on-screen talents, was chosen from a poll of 5,000 British film fans as the actor people would most like to see as part of the “Scenes in the Square” trail in Leicester Square, landing one fifth of the vote.
His statue will be unveiled in October.
Kaluuya joins an eclectic array of statues on the trail from the past century of cinema, including Harry Potter, Batman, Wonder Woman, Mary Poppins and Gene Kelly.
Kaluuya’s statue will reportedly represent modern cinematic success and homegrown talent.
