5. What's Okoye's Role?

When the trailer and poster were released, the biggest talking point as far as Okoye was concerned was that Danai Gurira's name wasn't on the poster, even though her character was.

That's something Marvel have since changed, but it also serves to highlight that, for all Okoye is on the poster, there's been no indication of what her actual role in the film is. The only time she appears in the trailer is taken from Infinity War, and there's nothing to suggest she's with the other heroes.

Is it simply a case of her leading Wakanda in T'Challa's absence, or does she have a bigger - and much more secretive - part to play?
