In a new video interview with the cast and crew of Wakanda Forever, they were asked which characters in the film they’d like to see in a dream team-up. “I would love to see General Okoye and Attuma, work side-by-side,” said Alex Livinalli, who plays Attuma in the film. “Who would be dumb enough to mess with Okoye and Attuma at the same time?”

As for Lupita Nyong’o, she would also love to see another Wakanda and Talokan team-up. “I would love to see M’Baku and Namora, she’s small and he’s large, and they’re both skilled, one in the water and one on land.”

Director Ryan Coogler took a more performance-based route with his answer, saying that Letitia Wright’s Shuri and Tenoch Huerta’s Namor were so good together, that it was fun directing the pair of them together.

“There’s so many good scenes between characters from my perspective, that I enjoy directing. Shuri’s scenes with Namor are really cool and really strong. They kind of speak the same acting language, it was great to watch them work together, and watch the chemistry and electricity between them.”
