Maya Lopez is a Native, deaf superheroine with the power to mimic the fighting style of her human opponent.
Last fall, Devery Jacobs confessed, in an interview with Radio-Canada, his desire to one day star in a Marvel movie and see a Black Panther (Black Panther) native.
I was moved to watch Black Panther, because I’ve never seen a film like this and I wonder what it feels like for the black community to see themselves as super people on one screen, he explained. I look forward to the day when aboriginals can do the same.
Devery Jacobs will play her role as Elora Danan in the second season of Booked Dogs. He also participates in the writing of these new episodes.
