Black Panther: Every Character Revealed So Far

7. The Dora Milaje

Played By: Danai Gurira, Florence Kasumba, Lupita Nyong'o (and others)

What We Know So Far

Having already been introduced briefly in Captain America: Civil War, the Dora Milaje are T'Challa's personal bodyguard, each chosen from different Wakandan tribes, who are brought together in the comics as the traditional pool of potential wives for the king. T'Challa changed that dynamic, considering them to be more like daughters than potential wives, though Nakia sought his heart.

They are expected to stand at his right hand in battle, facing off against the forces of his political enemies (because they're bound to have grunts), and we can probably expect some stunning action, looking at the trailer.
