The Black Panther star says she’s “very grateful” for how Michonne’s journey comes to an end – as Norman Reedus reveals what he’ll miss most about her (via toofab)

. Reedus added that he'll miss how "every morning in her makeup trailer, she blasts music," while Nadia Hilker added she'll miss her "laughter, so much laughter."TooFab asked whether Danai had filmed her last episode yet, or how she was mentally preparing for that day. "I can't answer that," she said with a laugh. "But I will say this, the journey that [showrunner Angela Kang] and her team constructed for Michonne, I'm very very grateful for.

Another "unanswerable question": whether she's open to playing Michonne again, perhaps in one of the upcoming "Walking Dead" movies. "I'm open to playing Michonne," Ryan Hurst joked, taking the heat off Gurira.Scott Gimple, Chief Content Officer of "The Walking Dead" Universe, did give us a hint that maybe her last episode won't be Gurira's last outing as Michonne though.

During the presser, the "Black Panther" star also encouraged anyone coming onto the show after her to really take advantage of the series' "collaborative" mood. She told them to not feel "like there's this gap between them and creative team, who are very collaborative, open doored and very interested in hearing their thoughts," she said. "There are environments perhaps where that is not encouraged, but that's not our world, not who we are as a family. I've never had a creative conversation that hasn’t been beneficial.

As for the last "unanswerable question" of the day, Gurira would not reveal why Michonne's seen holding Lucille at the end of the Season 10 trailer -- but simply said there's some "great storytelling" behind the shot.
