In The Trailer

As well as facing the rise of Killmonger and whatever Klaue is up to, T'Challa and the Dora Milaje will have to deal with the rise of war-making Wakandan tribes, one of which is led by M'Baku - otherwise known as Man-Ape in the comics - who appears to be a formidable foe.

What It Means

We've already heard hints that Wakanda is being threatened by internal frictions that could tear it apart, and by the look of it, it isn't just political friction. M'Baku looks to be leading one of the more aggressive tribal factions, with a penchant for taking enemies hostage and who will come to blows with the Dora Milaje.

Whether he will be working with Killmonger remains to be seen, but since M'Baku has been confirmed for Avengers: Infinity War, it's unlikely he's going to be killed off. Which suggests T'Challa is surprisingly tolerant of uprisings.
