It's a bit of a buried-in-there "Oops we released that info too early" kind of news, but under the "Jackoway Austen Tyerman Wertheimer Mandelbaum Morris Bernstein Trattner & Klein
NYU School of Law" header (Oh god I thought that was someone's name) for THR's POWER LAWYERS 2021, the tidbit is:
"Meanwhile, the rep - who also works with such show- runners as 9-1-1’s Tim Minear and The Handmaid’s Tale’s Bruce Miller - brokered a deal for actress Danai Gurira to not only reprise her role as Okoye in the upcoming Black Panther sequel but also in an origin spinoff series for Disney+."
No word on what decade Disney might confirm that in.
