Though nothing’s official yet, “The Woman King” star Thuso Mbedu isn’t ruling out a potential sequel for the Sony film, which premiered on Sept. 16. Though Mbedu said direct…
Though Mbedu said director Gina Prince-Bythewood has made it known she doesn’t “believe” in sequels, her co-star John Boyega had an idea that may be too good to pass up.at the Tribeca Chanel Women’s Filmmaker Program cocktail celebration on Thursday night, for which she was serving as a juror.
Boyega plays King Ghezo in the historical epic, which focuses on a group of all-female warriors who protected the West African kingdom of Dahomey in the 1820s. According to Mbedo, Boyega thinks there’s a more sinister side to explore within his character — the real version of which was a proponent of the slave trade.
“John’s idea is amazing … Basically, to go back to the history of the Dahomey — where he isn’t really a favorable king in real history. He would want us to touch on that in the second one,” she said. “What if we see him as more of a villain? That type of situation. And I was like, ‘That’s nice!’ It would be cool to see him in a different light.”“Viola keeps saying, ‘If there’s a sequel, I’m gonna die in the first five minutes,'” Mbedu said with a laugh.
During an intimate celebration in the penthouse of The Greenwich Hotel, the winner of the eighth annual Tribeca Chanel Women’s Filmmaker Program was announced by Mbedu and fellow jurors. Director and writer Wendi Tang along with her producing partner, Hongwei Wu, burst out into tears as the room loudly applauded their winning project “Fishtank.”“This is a dream come true.”
