Deadline is reporting that Legendary and Warner Bros. are currently in the very early stages of negotiations with Black Panther and The Walking Dead breakout Danai Gurira for a leading role in their upcoming MonsterVerse entry, Godzilla vs. Kong. 

If/when her deal closes, she'll join a star cast that already features young up-and-comers Millie Bobby Brown (Godzilla: King of the Monsters) and Julian Dennison (Deadpool 2). Adam Wingard (The Guest) is directing with a script from a writers room that consisted of Lindsey Beer, Patrick McKay, T.S. Nowlin, Jack Paglen, John D. Payne, Terry Rossio, J. Michael Straczynski, and Cat Vasko. 

Additionally, their report adds that Paramount is also eyeing Gurira for a key role in their next Star Trek film, the tentatively titled Star Trek 4, which has S.J. Clarkson (Marvel's The Defenders) on board to direct, and is expected to bring back Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, and Chris Hemsworth as Captain Kirk's father for a time travel-based adventure.

Also, just to clarify, this is a separate project from the R-rated Star Trek film that Quentin Tarantino is concurrently developing.

Hell yeah. I’m so happy the cast from Black Panther are getting more opportunities. Danai is wonderful.

@marvel72 - I'm honestly just waiting for that article to show up soon

@Nebula - When she first turned up on the show,I thought it was great.But since I've stopped watching I've lost interest in the character.

Is there gonna be an article on Henry Cavill's recent comments? I'd love to see the comments for that
Nebula
Nebula - 7/12/2018, 6:06 PM
@DaHyro - I think he's absolutely right. Maybe he shouldn't have used the word "rapist" per se but the reaction only proves his point.

@DaHyro - Doubtful.

@DaHyro - All the more reason to hope they refrained from having a Superman Cameo in Shazam with him showing up in Billy's bedroom and sitting on his bed, way too much of a pedo rapey vibe coming off Cavill.

@Imfunnyhow - Parker before Morales though.

@RorMachine - Henry is the new voice of nonperverted non narcissistic wise and cautious heterosexual males who put morales ahead of physical desires.

@aflynn - Pedo rapey vibe?! What article did you read, your browser history must be strange, Maybe you confused it with the Downey Jr. story years ago, he was coked up and entered someone's home and slept there, the owner said he sniffed her kids undies, I'll be honest, I did think about that when he was in Peters bedroom in Civil War and Homecoming 😂

Only a matter of time before she's headlining a film. She has all the assets to be a huge star.

With the inevitable Black Panther 2 (which probably will film in early 2020) & these projects, I don't see Danai Gurira sticking around The Walking Dead too much after this season. Her contract is up at the end of season 9. Godzilla Vs. Kong's release date implies a mid-2019 shoot which seems to conflict with the usual time The Walking Dead season 10 would film.

@String - Godzilla vs. Kong is shooting this October

I’m happy to see everyone from the Black panther cast is getting so much work, but there’s one problem. What about Letitia Wright the actress who played Shuri?! She was great but she isn’t getting any more roles.

@StarlordsDad - I'm sure she'll get roles. She was great in Black Mirror.

Post Negan I remember her role shrank some and her character was distant from the group, doubt they follow the same formula on the show now since they hijacked Andrea's story arc and shoved Michonne in there all willy nilly.

She definitely would make for a nice addition to the cast.
