With the release of the Black Panther sequel , fans are still waiting for more, and it looks like that’s about to happen. One of the lead actresses, Danai Gurira, regularly mentions a possible Disney+ series centered around Okoye.
Black Panther star Danai Gurira keeps hinting at a possible spin-off where she would star as Okoye , the leader of the female warriors Dora Milaje. Gurira played the role in the films Black Panther , Avengers: Infinity War and Black Panther: Wakanda in My Heart . A few years ago, there was information that Marvel Studios was planning to create a series for Disney+ based on the World of Wakanda comics , in which Okoye is the main character. Not much has been said about the possibility since then, but that hasn’t stopped Gurira from answering questions that bother journalists. her lastcommentary on the matter was made on the red carpet at that year’s Academy Awards .
I was allowed to talk about it vaguely. So I will answer vaguely. But I think the idea of such a story, if there was one, would be to explore characters in a way we haven’t done before. But who knows?
Gurira also addressed rumors of an Okoye spin-off during an appearance on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert in January .
Powiedziano mi, że mogę delikatnie potwierdzić taką możliwość. Więc delikatnie potwierdzam, tylko delikatnie.

How did Okoye’s fortunes go during Wakanda in my heart ?
Black Panther: Wakanda in My Heart showed Okoye being fired from Dora Milaje by Queen Ramanda after Namor kidnapped Shuri and Riri Williams. Okoye later joins Wakanda in the fight against Namor and Talocan, donning the armor of the Angels of the North. Assuming an Okoye-centric spin-off is made, it will likely continue her and Aneka’s story as the Angels of the North .
Also, Wakanda changes leadership, with Shuri taking over the role of Black Panther from his late brother, T’Challa. Also, Queen Ramonda is killed by Namor, leaving Shuri as heir to the throne.
Michael B. Jordan and Jonathan Majors paid tribute to Angela Bassett after the Oscar scandal
The 95th Academy Awards was high-profile for many reasons, one of which was the award for Best Supporting Actor. It was given to Jamie Lee Curtis for her role in the film Everything All At Once . Many expected that this Oscar would go to Angela for her role as Ramonda in Black Panther: Wakanda in My Heart . Bassett’s co-stars Michael B. Jordan and Jonathan Majors nevertheless singled out the actress while on stage.
As Jordan and Majors stood in front of the audience to present the Oscar for Best Cinematography, Jordan turned to Bassett and said, ‘Hey Auntie. We love you’.
