Now that Marvel Studios has officially confirmed Black Panther 2, we are getting more and more information about the upcoming movie. Asked by MTV about the return of co-star Michael B. Jordan, who played Erik “Killmonger” Stevens in the Black Panther, Black Panther star Danai Gurira beat around the bush.
“We all love Michael, we can never get enough Michael B,” she said. “I mean, you can never get enough Michael B, we all know this.”
However, she did confirm that she will eventually reprise her role of Okoye in Black Panther‘s sequel.
“Listen, listen… literally, I have no information, that’s the beauty of our conversation right now,” Gurira added. “Mr. Coogler says, ‘Tell them we’re working hard, and you’re in it.’ That’s all I got for you.”
