British actress Michaela Coel was revealed yesterday as the cover star of the November issue of American Vogue.
In an interview written by Vogue editor Chioma Nnadi, the Emmy-winning writer and actress stun in a Gucci dress in Accra, Ghana for the cover. In the accompanying feature, Coel talked amongst other things about her new role in the upcoming Black Panther 2 and how she as well as many people felt when they watched the first movie. “I think for a lot of people it was the first time we’d seen some sort of representation on a very mainstream platform about the magic of Africa, the magic of the people, our ancestors,” she shared with Vogue. “Coming here, you do feel something magical.”
For the profile, the platform also turns to several celebrity friends of the star for further insight into her including Donald Glover, Paapa Essiedu and Winston Duke with the latter noting that. “There was a sense that we have to bring this baby home in the name of Chadwick. I thought to myself, I’m rolling up my sleeves and I’m getting in. I don’t need to be front and center, I’m here to support,” Winston Duke said to the platform, describing the filming process with Coel for the anticipated movie.
Coel goes on to talk about what her life and career might look like following the success of I May Destroy You. “There was the assumption that, okay, so now I May Destroy You has happened, you’ve got this window and you have to capitalize on it. And when I hear that, it sounds like the root is fear, because the assumption is the window is going to close. And I don’t feel comfortable making decisions based on fear,”
