Danai Gurira once again teases BLACK PANTHER spin-off series centered on her character Okoye

It was two years ago that we first reported this Black Panther star Danai Gurira he was set to reprise his role as Okoye in a spin-off series centered around his character, the general of the Dora Milaje in Wakanda. Things have been pretty quiet since then, aside from earlier this year when Gurira made an appearance The Last Show with Stephen Colbert in January. She was asked about the project and she replied:

“I’ve been told I can allude gently to that possibility. So, I’m alluding gently, just gently.”

Colbert jokingly responded, “Your gentle innuendo is Marvel’s version of a whole monty. I can’t believe I got anything out of you.”

She kept the same tone of gentle innuendo when on the red carpet last Sunday at the Oscars when asked again about the state of the series, telling ET:

“I’ve been told that I can talk about it vaguely. So, I’ll answer vaguely. However, I guess the idea behind such a story, if there was one, would be to explore character in ways that we’ve I’m not done yet. But who knows?”

So it seems like things are on their way, especially if they let her say anything about it. It’s just moving pretty slow!

At the end of Black Panther Continuation, Wakandan foreverOkoye was fired from Dora after failing to protect Shuri (Letizia Wright) by Namor (Tenoch Huerta Mejia) and the Talokan warriors.

Devastated by the rejection, Okoye returned for the film’s final battle in a new super suit created by Shuri, officially taking the Midnight Angels from comic book canon to the big screen, leading many to speculate that the new series could focus on Okoye’s new adventures. . with the elite group of warriors.

I think there are many interesting directions the series can take and I’m excited to watch it. Gurira is an amazing actress and Okoye’s character is a real badass. I can’t wait to see where she takes us.
