Deadline reports The Walking Dead actress Danai Gurira will reprise her Black Panther role as Okoye, leader of the elite bodyguards the Dora Milaj, joining her Black Panther co-stars Chadwick Boseman, Winston Duke and Letitia Wright.
Recent social media posts by Boseman and directors Anthony and Joe Russo suggest a few key scenes in Infinity War will be set in Wakanda, which likely means we can expect more Black Panther actors to be announced in the coming weeks.
