Danai Gurira suggests a Black Panther spinoff series centered around Okoye
“I was told that I could gently allude to the possibility,” Marvel’s star said very carefully.
Black Panther Danai Gurira received a positive response to rumors about a spin-off series that would focus on Okoye.
During an appearance on Friday’s Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the actress and playwright suggested that a Disney+ series could be made about her fan-favorite soldier and loyal protector Wakanda.
When Stephen Colbert asked Gurira about the rumors, she replied that “I have been informed…that I can gently allude…” “So, I am gently alluding.” Colbert, stunned, remarked that “you gently alluding was the Marvel version of full monty.” Amazingly, I got nothing from you.
EW reached out to Disney representatives for comment but they didn’t respond immediately.
