On top of Danai Gurira as Okoye, the original Black Panther motion picture featured Message from the King and Gods of Egypt star Chadwick Boseman as T’Challa / Black Panther along with Michael B. Jordan as N’Jadaka / Erik “Killmonger” Stevens and 12 Years a Slave and Us actress Lupita Nyong’o as Nakia.
Danai Gurira was recently at San Diego Comic-Con promoting her final season on The Walking Dead and said this about reprising Okoye.
But don’t worry about the Black Panther actress as she is sure to have a killer career in movies after leaving the show.
And speaking of which, today we have confirmation from Guiria herself that she will be returning as Okoye in director Ryan Coogler’s much-anticipated Black Panther 2.
