Signing on to play a major part of a superhero movie also comes with the implication that a performer might have to get into extreme physical shape for the role, yet in the case of Danai Gurira joining Black Panther, it also came with an extreme hairstyle. The actress might have been prepared for having to cut her hair off, but had a harder time coping with how cold she'd get.
"It could even be a distraction, so why have it?" Gurira shared with Jimmy Kimmel Live about her military character. "The beauty of it was we get to wear these awesome tattoos on our heads, so I was one of the first people in there to start training. I was feeling it out, growing my 'fro out a little bit, and [director Ryan Coogler] said, 'It's coming,' and I was like, 'I got you, but for now I got my 'fro.' And you can't really prepare for it. And then they gave you 24 hours, like, 'Danai, it's tomorrow,' and I was like, 'Huh? Tomorrow? Oh, okay.' I thought I was ready, I thought I could take this, then you start seeing these chunks falling to the floor."
