When asked by host Stephen Colbert, Danai revealed she had permission from Marvel to say what she said.
“I have been told that I can gently allude to this possibility so I am gently alluding. Just gently,” she teased.
While there was nothing more on the possible series, Danai did speak about Okoye’s journey in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
“Trust me, when I first heard the script [and] when Ryan [Coogler, the director] sat me down and told me what happens, that I’m fired and all the rest, I was like, ‘Woah, woah, woah. Let’s discuss this,’” she shared.
Danai added, “Then I realized how powerful it would be to actually allow a character like her to go through failing and complications that cause her to not be able to just stand strong and hold everything together. She has to go through her brokenness too.”
