MCU: Every Character Confirmed For Phase 4 (So Far)

15. Nakia

Black Panther Lupita NyongO Nakia
Marvel Studios

Confirmed By: Black Panther 2, which Kevin Feige has said they will "absolutely" do.

Although she didn't feature in Infinity War (and isn't going to be in Avengers 4 either), Lupita Nyong'o's Nakia still has an important part to play in the MCU's future.

Not only is she a spy and the head of global outreach for Wakanda, but she's also T'Challa's main love interest - and a great character in her own right - so there's plenty more to come from the character. Marvel will be looking to replicate the success of the first Black Panther with its sequel, which includes bringing back Ryan Coogler too, and while there might be one or two who aren't involved, the very core of the movie should remain the same.
