Black Panther: Every Character Ranked Worst To Best

10. W'Kabi

Black Panther Characters
Marvel Studios

Played By: Daniel Kaluuya

When we first meet Daniel Kaluuya's W'Kabi - whose parents were killed in an attack by Ulysses Klaue 30 years before the start of the film's timeline - he looks like a prime candidate to be killed off. He seems to be the Goose to T'Challa's Maverick and he's haunted by his past so much that he looks destined for tragedy.

Ultimately, he's given a different trajectory and effectively becomes a more reasonable mirror of Erik Killmonger (as well as the means for the film to give Killmonger his own army), which is interesting in itself.

He could have done with a little more screentime, but he could be back. And that hopefully means his battle rhinos might be too, which is definitely good news for Infinity War.
