Tupac Biopic: The Walking Dead’s Danai Gurira Will Play 2Pac’s Mom Afeni in Biopic

“The Walking Dead” actress Danai Gurira has joined the cast of Tupac biopic “All Eyez On Me,” Canada journal has learned.

According to Deadline Hollywood, the 37-year-old actress will be playing the part of Tupac’s mother, Afeni Shakur.

Shakur was a political activist and member of the Black Panthers, and she raised her son to become socially aware as well as to love reading, both of which helped him to become a street poet. It’s a complex role, one that Gurira can really sink her teeth into.

The biopic, which covers Tupac’s rise to fame, his imprisonment, and his role in the East Coast/West Coast war, is already underway in Atlanta, hoping to trade on the roaring success of the hugely successful hip-hop biopic, Straight Outta Compton.
