Danai Gurira Leaving The Walking Dead After Season 10

The Walking Dead has harnessed the undead obsession within society with its gritty zombie action along with a well-rounded, likeable cast. The show has been losing some favorite faces over the course of the years, and the most recent announced exit comes in the form of Michonne actress, Danai Gurira.

The fan-favorite first appeared in season three as the katana-wielding Michonne and has retained a prominent role in the series since. The Walking Dead takes the popular genre of zombie films and creates a thorough drama TV series on AMC which has the show-centered survivors fighting for their lives against both the undead flesh-eaters, as well as plenty of uncivil humans who have welcomed the apocalyptic turn.

The show is currently in its ninth season and has already seen the departure of long time protagonist, Rick Grimes, played by actor Andrew Lincoln. With Lincoln leaving after season nine, and Gurira gone once season ten has finished, that leaves Norman Reedus, who — along with Melissa McBride — recently signed a multiple year deal, as the potential to take on the role as lead character. While the show mostly focuses on the group of zombie-slayers and their story of survival, there was always a larger focus on Rick Grimes, first and foremost. However, creator Robert Kirkman could allow the show to centralize its focus on the entire group rather than swing towards one character or another.

In season ten, Gurira will be returning for “a handful of episode” before her official departure. With the show still running strong — though, some might argue not as strong as it once was — some might wonder if it’s too risky to continue onward after back-to-back major character exits. Finishing the series strong would allow the hit zombie drama to be remembered as one of the all-time great TV series, rather than risk becoming diluted, or overstaying its welcome.

However, there’s still plenty of potential passed the tenth season, as the remaining cast still provides that gritty and dramatic flare the series is best known for. What will make the difference is how Kirkman bounces back from the loss of Lincoln and Gurira, as both Grimes and Michonne are both still alive in the comic series. This could very well be pivotal in the separation between the television series and comic, though there are already many major differences.

However, the departure of of both big stars in The Walking Dead TV series might not mean it’s the last time fans will see them in the series. Three film adaptions are in the planning stages by AMC, and Andrew Lincoln’s character, Grimes, is set to star in at least one of them. In an article from The Hollywood Reporter, it’s also stated that Gurira will “likely” make her return to the zombie infested drama in one, or all, of the films alongside Lincoln.

Gurira isn’t only known for her zombie slashing carnage, as she has also found stardom in Marvel movies, The Black Panther and The Avengers, as Okoye. With The Avengers: Endgame coming this April, we’re sure to see more of Gurira in action outside of The Walking Dead series.

Recently, we had the opportunity to witness Amazon’s remarkable rendition of the renowned WRPG series Fallout. Assuming that the initial observation failed to sufficiently stimulate your atomic curiosity,. Therefore, we have an additional video showcasing our main characters in action: Lucy, who resides in a vault (Ella Purnell), The Ghoul (Walton Goggins), and Maximus, a squire from the Brotherhood of Steel (Aaron Clifton Moten).

The group interaction is briefly observed in the two-minute film. Fortunately, for those who appreciate the trajectory of the television series, there is not a significant delay until the complete season becomes available. Commencing on April 11th, all episodes will be accessible on Prime Video, and we will be eagerly anticipating the arrival of the days.

Another noteworthy development in Fallout is the resurgence of a highly absurd modification in Fallout: New Vegas, which enables players to enlist Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst as a buddy. In light of recent developments, it is evident that the future prospects of the ongoing multiplayer experiment Fallout 76 are promising, given the substantial participation of over 17 million players since its first release.

Amazon’s adaptation will focus on protagonist Lucy (Ella Purnell), a vault dweller who steps out of the safety of her lifelong home into the harsh Wasteland of a ruined Los Angeles.

‘Amazing’ Final Fantasy Movie Inspired The Marvels Director

Generally, The Marvels is good. It has a 59 on Rotten Tomatoes, which isn’t great, but it’s better than Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania and Disney+’s Secret Invasion. Perhaps director Nia DaCosta’s video game inspirations contributed to that.

The American filmmaker said Square Enix’s Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children influenced her latest film at a press junket with IGN. “It’s just an amazing movie, with great fight scenes and a great ending sequence with the main character being thrown into the sky by all the other characters,” she said.
Despite poor reviews upon release in 2005, Advent Children has become a Final Fantasy cult classic. DaCosta seems to agree that the film is a classic. PlayStation exclusives also influenced the Marvels.

In the interview, she said she didn’t want the superhero film to look “too much like a video game” but did draw from Sony’s biggest franchises, like The Last of Us and Horizon Zero Dawn. “For me, it was from the best games, the best stories that you get, that sort of inspires me to play, and I think inspires people to watch movies like this,” she said.

Since movies have shaped video games since their inception, it’s interesting to see the dynamic slowly changing. Now that technology and interactive storytelling are more complex, filmmakers are looking to PlayStation for inspiration.
