One of the movie's primary villains is Erik Killmonger, played by a totally-jacked Michael B. Jordan, who says, "I waited my entire life for this..If the world's gonna start over, I'm gonna burn it all."

Jordan is seen standing around some burning Wakandan ruins, a fire he presumably set, while we can also make out that his body is covered in scarred bumps, which fans have presumed to be some sort of ritualistic coming-of-age branding.

An interesting image also shows Killmonger in the museum from the first trailer with Andy Serkis' Ulyesses Klaue, who is disguised as a paramedic.

The pair are examining a display showing what's presumed to be various Wakandan weapons and trinkets, which one can safely assume will be stolen by the pair.
