Avengers: Endgame Trailer - Every Snap Survivor We Didn’t See (And Where They Could Be)

Last Seen: The Wakandan battlefield, next to T'Challa's dust (Avengers: Infinity War).

What's Her Role In Endgame? As leader of the Dora Milaje, Okoye's sole commitment is to Wakanda and its king or queen. She made this perfectly clear in Black Panther, when she served under Killmonger - albeit briefly - despite knowing he was deranged.

This in mind, Okoye will remain a valiant defender of Wakanda and its people, no matter what the rest of the Avengers are up to.

With the snap having erased half of all life, Wakanda will be in a tough spot - less warriors, less farmers, less of everything - and will need strong leaders now more than ever. If Shuri becomes the temporary queen, Okoye will be by her side, and even if the throne remains empty, she'll stay and help with the cleanup.

Still, we don't expect her to be stood around sweeping up dust. One thing we'll definitely see from Okoye is a battle sequence. Her fight scenes in Black Panther and Infinity War were incredibly memorable, and the Russo Brothers will capitalise on the love the character has garnered. Actress Pom Klementieff - who plays Mantis - told Paper that she was on-set with Danai Gurira and Brie Larson during filming, which could even mean we'll see Okoye fight alongside some other major Avengers.
