As of February 2025, there is no movie titled “Okoye” scheduled for release. Initially, Marvel Studios planned a Disney+ series centered on Okoye, the formidable leader of Wakanda’s Dora Milaje, portrayed by Danai Gurira.
This project was intended to explore Okoye’s origins and delve deeper into her character. However, recent reports indicate that the series has been canceled. Marvel’s Head of Streaming, Brad Winderbaum, confirmed that while the Okoye series is no longer in development, the character will return in future Marvel projects.
Despite the series’ cancellation, fans can look forward to “Eyes of Wakanda,” an animated series premiering on Disney+ on August 6, 2025. This series will delve into the history of Wakandan warriors tasked with retrieving dangerous vibranium artifacts from around the world.
