'Black Panther' and 'Walking Dead' Star Danai Gurira Circling New 'Star Trek' Movie
"Black Panther's" Danai Gurira may be going from Wakanda to the final frontier.
Deadline reports that Gurira, best known for playing Michone on "The Walking Dead" and the fan-favorite warrior Okoye in Marvel's "Panther," could potentially appear in the fourth "Star Trek" film from J.J. Abrams' Bad Robot. The untitled sequel will be directed by S.J. Clarkson, the franchise's first female director.
The actress is also in early talks for "Godzilla vs. Kong" from Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros. The film, to be directed by Adam Wingard, is set for May 22, 2020. Should she sign on, Gurira will appear opposite "Stranger Things" star (and recent Emmy nominee) Millie Bobby Brown.
No word yet on the characters that Gurira will be playing in either film, but we will keep you posted.
