The Question: When Black Widow briefly confronts Black Panther, she's put in her place by one of Panther's statuesque female bodyguards, before Panther calls her off. Who is she exactly?

The Likely Answer: Florence Kasumba's role in the movie is merely credited as "security chief", but it's highly possible that the character is in fact a member of the Dora Milaje, the gang of Panther's bodyguards recruited from the strongest women in Wakanda.

While this may be a one-off appearance for the character, there's a lot of potential if we see her return in Panther's solo movie, considering the group's pivotal place in Wakandan culture.

Regardless of whether they get namedropped, though, the nod to Panther's female guards was surely deliberate.
