We are so delighted to share the news that Danai Gurira is ready to return to Wakanda! The actress, who played General Okoye in Marvel Studios’ “Black Panther,” will reprise the role in the upcoming sequel film and untitled Disney+ series.

Both projects are coming from Oscar nominee Ryan Coogler, and will continue the story of the African nation and their great heroes. As we’ve reported previously, there are no plans to recast the role of King T’Challa, brought to life by the late Chadwick Boseman.

Thanks to our friends over at Collider for confirming this news, because we’re really excited!

Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
