Wumni revealed that it wasn’t until she watched Ryan Coogler‘s Black Panther that she really understood the Marvel phenomenon.

“I was a fan from Black Panther,” she told the outlet. “That was my first Marvel film and I loved it. I felt so seen. I felt so excited and I really felt this whole hero and villain [thing]…it wasn’t so clear. It wasn’t basic. I really got Killmonger, I got him! [laughs] I was rooting for him too as well. Then I was just like, I like this world….I like this world.’”

“I did not know I was going to like this world, I did not know this world was for me,” the actress explained. “Then I started watching The Avengers and I started watching everything. My sister was a huge fan beforehand. She was always telling me to watch it and I thought, ‘Mm-mm’. Then I was like, ‘Oh, I get you now, I get you now!’

Wumni also reflected on the projects she’s worked on so far and what they have in common.

“I think it’s just all about the journey of the character,” she said. “It’s all about where they start and where they end and how they get there. I’ve always said, all I care about is a good story and I don’t care who I play in a good story. I do really think that the best stories all the characters have a journey. I feel that’s the thing that now I want to make sure that is [at the forefront] of every role I take is that the journey is intercut and fully rounded. I feel that’s the case in this for sure, in His House and Lovecraft Country. I feel like the journey of the character is rich.”
