As mentioned previously, there's no shortage of memorable supporting players in Black Panther thanks to a loaded cast that boasted Michael B. Jordan, Lupita Nyong'o, Letitia Wright, Angela Bassett, Andy Serkis, Forest Whitaker, Martin Freeman and Daniel Kaluuya among the ensemble.

However, as the head of the Dora Milaje, Danai Gurira's no-nonsense Okoye steals virtually every scene that she's in, and speaks a lot more sense that the vast majority of the characters to boot, as well as taking no prisoners on the battlefield.

A stoic warrior with a deeply-ingrained sense of duty, the ability to kick some serious a** and drop a nifty one-liner when the occasion suits, it's no wonder that the five-year time-jump in Avengers: Endgame saw her become Earth's Mightiest Heroes' first line of defense for an entire continent in the interim.

I don't do social media, so like or follow me in person but please maintain a safe distance or the authorities will be notified. Don't snap me though, I'll probably break. I was once labelled a misogynist on this very site in a twenty paragraph-long rant for daring to speak ill of the Twilight franchise. I stand by what I said, it's crap.
