Roxane Gay is shooting her shot at DC Comics after their rival Marvel gave her the Black Panther snub. Get those deets, plus see Black Panther actress Letita Wright flex her rapping skills inside….
Never underestimate the power of the Twitterverse.
Writer Roxane Gay decided she would try her hand and offer her services to write DC Comics’ upcoming “Batgirl” movie after Joss Whedon stepped down as the film’s writer and director. And guess what? DC Comics appear to be interested.
Peep the tweets:
Work with Marvel's rival? Why not?! Get those coins!
This news comes on the heels of Marvel snubbing Roxane at the Black Panther premiere last month. You see, Roxane co-wrote “Black Panther: World of Wakanda” for Marvel Comics alongside Ta-Nehisi Coates and Yona Harvey in 2016. However, the series was cancelled in 2017 after releasing six issues.
Ta-Nehisi got an invite to the premiere, but Roxane and Yona did not. Roxane took to Twitter to express her feelings, saying her feelings were hurt, but she was still excited about the movie.
My feelings are real hurt that I didn’t get an invite to the Black Panther premiere. I mean goddamn Marvel. Goddamn.
