On top of all of that, Marvel Studios also officially introduced the core cast for the upcoming Black Panther movie. Chadwick Boseman, who already made his debut as T’Challa in Captain America: Civil War, was the first to be introduced.
Lupita Nyong’o and Michael B. Jordon, both of whom were previously rumored to be in talks for undisclosed roles in the film, were both officially announced during the presentation as joining the cast. Nyong’o will play Nakia, a member of the Dora Milaje, Wakanda’s elite royal guard (in the comics, Nakia leaves the Dora Milaje and becomes the villain Malice). Jordan will play Erik Killmonger, one of Black Panther’s fiercest foes who, in the comics at least, has a history of working with the villain Klaw (introduced to the Marvel cinematic universe as Ulysses Klaue, played by Andy Serkis, in Avengers: Age of Ultron).
Finally, Marvel surprised fans by introducing The Walking Dead fan favorite Danai Gurira to the cast. She will play Okoye, the head of the Dora Milaje.
