Okoye Archives
While it's still not clear if The Walking Dead star Danai Gurira will be returning as Michonne for the 11th and final season of the long-running series or the upcoming "Rick Grimes" films, but if what The Hollywood Reporter and Collider are reporting pans out, Gurira will be spending a whole lot more time in[...]
The character Okoye from Black Panther and Wakanda-related comic books has turned up, and she's been absorbing the power of the dragon chi that powers the Dragon Fist Naturally, Danny Rand was particularly happy with that.
Heart Of The Dragon #5
Okoye is the General of the Dora Milaje, created by Christopher Priest and Mark Texeira for[...]
Along the way, the script delivers some intriguing characterization, a hint of hilariously timed flirtation, and ultimately accomplishing the goal with a hint of Br'er Rabbit thrown in for chuckles.
The visual storytelling from Alessandro Vitti, Guru-eFX, and Joe Caramagna does a fantastic job of delivering on action scenes, especially mirroring Danai Gurira's physicality in the[...]
A comms conversation between Okoye and T'challa revealed a very big Wakandan secret that's been hiding in the background A segment at the end of the issue that is gasp-inducing, framed by a flashback narration, showcasing the character of the Panther and the nation, and that's really something to see The dramatic tension here is[...]

Captain America #3 cover by Alex Ross
Captain America #3 shifts this new series' trend of focusing on Steve Rogers' interiority, shifting perspective to Sharon Carter and concerning itself more with what is going on in the world around Steve.
The comic surprisingly shows some sympathy towards[...]

Great choices, that represent all ten years of films, and those inspired tag lines? Hopefully I can collect all of these somehow, the whole collection would look great on every wall of my house.
In order (deep breath): Ant-Man, Wasp, Doctor Strange, Wong, Iron Man, War Machine, Vision, Scarlet Witch, Thor, Loki, Valkyrie, Korg, Heimdall, Hulk,[...]
The scene has Dora Milaje General Okoye (Danai Gurira) speaking with her partner W'Kabi (Daniel Kaluuya), and features a better look at their relationship.
Director Ryan Coogler has said this was a scene he was "incredibly proud of as a director but didn't work inside of the confines of our film", making us wonder even more about[...]
The first poster features Hulk, Black Panther, Black Widow, Vision, Scarlet Witch, Okoye, and War Machine.

The third is the coolest and features the Mad Titan himself, Thanos.
The fourth features Thor, Rocket Raccoon, Groot, Drax, Star Lord, and Gamora.
Finally, the fifth poster features[...]

Bucky says, "Not bad for the end of the world," with a grin.
The comic also shows the regular shots of Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow, Benedict Cumberbatch's Doctor Strange, Mark Ruffalo's Hulk, Tom Holland's Spider-Man with his Spider-Sense going crazy, Chris Hemsworth's Thor, Anthony Mackie's Falcon, and other members of the mammoth cast of superheroes.
The ending of the trailer has Okoye (Danai Gurira) telling T'Challa that this wasn't what[...]
Most importantly (apparently) to fans, there is still no Hawkeye to be seen.
While there is no Hawkeye anywhere to be found, I am super happy that characters like Wong, Shuri, Okoye, and Nebula are getting their due All of them have been strong players in the Marvel saga and deserve their shot in the spotlight[...]
I wanted them hand done with the feel of real African jewelry."
My table also had some questions about Okoye's (Danai Gurira) red casino dress Specifically finding the balance between stylish and fighty:
"I found an idea, and I developed the idea. Ryan wanted it to be the most vibrant red we could find, we tried a blue and[...]

As a build a figure, I do not like the choice of Okoye, but as a figure she is just as great as Nakia Her legs are a bit tough to pose, but that's easy to forgive when the figures look this great.
Weirdly, the worst figure of the whole wave is T'Challa himself I actually[...]
Wish we would have gotten a Klaw over Iron Man, but what are you gonna do? Okoye is the build-a-figure here, which sucks Just like Mantis from the Guardians wave this year, another undersized character that could have just been in the wave.
Overall, these are all pretty great I will be getting them all anyway[...]
Yes, Danai Gurira can do The Walking Dead and Avengers: Infinity War…so relax.
If you're like most, your "geek radar" went into overdrive when it was announced that The Walking Dead's Gurira (Michonne) would be reprising her Black Panther role as elite Wakandan fighter Okoye in Marvel's Avengers: Infinity War Social media exploded with concerns over whether shooting schedules[...]
