15 Best Supporting Characters In MCU Movies So Far

15. M'Baku

Black Panther turned out to be loaded with memorable supporting characters, but few ascended to fan-favorite status quite as quickly as Winston Duke's gentle giant M'Baku.

The leader of Wakanda's mountain-dwelling Jabari tribe, M'Baku initially and unsuccessfully challenged Chadwick Boseman's T'Challa for the right to be declared king, before ultimately offering help to his greatest rival when he needed it most as repayment for having his life spared.

In the wrong hands, M'Baku could have turned out as a one-dimensional brute, but as well as his imposing physical stature Duke also gave the character a presence, warmth and sense of humor that saw him become one of Black Panther's undeniable breakout stars.
