Most recently, she starred in Marvel’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, and in 2023 she has the Mr. and Mrs. Smith series at Amazon alongside co-creator, executive producer and co-star Donald Glover.
Lowery most recently wrote and directed Peter Pan & Wendy, starring Jude Law, Alan Tudyk, Molly Parker and Yara Shahidi. It will be released on Disney+ on April 28.
