Black Panther Danai Gurira Shares One Obvious ‘Avengers’ And ‘Black Panther’ Spoiler

Danai Gurira talks “Avengers,” “Walking Dead” and her new project for World AIDS Day.

Thanos still commands silence when it comes to the specific events of “Avengers: Infinity War” and the untitled sequel set to hit theaters in 2019, and Danai Gurira will oblige Marvel’s wishes ... to a point.

In a “Black Panther” deleted scene released ahead of the film’s DVD debut, it was revealed that Gurira’s character Okoye and Daniel Kaluuya’s W’Kabi weren’t just a couple ― they were officially married. W’Kabi’s decision to betray Okoye and his country at the end of the movie kind of puts a damper on the whole relationship, though. The question remains: Since they were married before W’Kabi turned, did they stay together after?

In an interview with HuffPost, Gurira confirmed what we all knew already.

“No, did you watch the movie? Why would you be with him? She told him that she would take him down if she had to ... for the country, she would kill him. She said that to his face,” Gurira said. “I don’t think there’s any coming back from that, do you?”

“Maybe Wakanda has some pretty fantastic marriage counseling,” she added. “I don’t know? I think W’Kabi was going to jail. That’s what I think.”

So the deleted scene just rubbed salt into our wounds. Wakanda’s forever, but the couple formerly known as O’Kabi (W’Koye?) is not.

In addition to the upcoming “Avengers 4,” Gurira has a slew of new movies on the way, including an eventual “Black Panther” sequel and rumored roles in a “Star Trek” sequel and “Godzilla vs. Kong.” Outside of film work, she’s also working on a new advocacy project, the “Make HIV History” initiative with Johnson & Johnson. As a woman born in the U.S. but raised in Zimbabwe, she described HIV awareness and the hopeful eradication of the virus as an issue close to her heart.

Oh, and Gurira still has a starring role as Michonne on “Walking Dead” ― at least, for now. Characters leave that show at an alarming rate; even the series’ central character, Andrew Lincoln’s Rick Grimes, swiftly departed this season. With all the projects on her plate, will Gurira stay on board the AMC show?

When I asked her, she completely avoided answering the question about her “Walking Dead” future. But you have to try, right?
