Danai Gurira’s career features numerous film and TV appearances, yet her role as Michonne in “The Walking Dead” has been one of her most notable. While her career has covered several genres and mediums — including her work as an award-winning playwright — there’s no denying that horror has become a major milestone for her career. However, despite Gurira’s success with the genre, she found working on “The Walking Dead” to be very different than watching it — or anything of the horror genre, for that matter.
In 2014, Gurira spoke to Den of Geek and laughed at her reluctance about watching genre fare. “[T]he idea of getting into the psychology of what she’s going through is a lot different from sitting and watching ‘The Exorcist,’ which I will avoid with my life,” she told the outlet. The actress admitted to being a “scaredy-cat” when it comes to the horror genre.

Unfortunately for Gurira, she’s going to have plenty of time to embrace those fears as the first season of her “The Walking Dead” spin-off arrives in 2024. Details are still under wraps, but what has been revealed suggests Michonne and Rick are set to face more deadly (and very gory) walkers as they forge a life together.
