10 MCU Characters Who Should Appear In Disney+'s Wakanda Series
5. Erik Killmonger
Michael B. Jordan's portrayal of Erik Killmonger was one of the highlights of the 2018 film, with Jordan bringing depth and emotion to the character. Killmonger's character arc makes him one of the greatest villains from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as his past helps make him a sympathetic adversary who the audience can easily justify rooting for.
Killmonger's character arc seemed to finish perfectly, with the villain refusing the help of T'Challa and stating that "death was better than bondage." While his death seemed final, fans would not be against seeing the character return again, with Jordan open to returning to the character if Marvel Studios asked:
"But being in that world in a character that I loved playing, and working with [writer/director Ryan Coogler] and all that good stuff, it's family. We created a family over there. So to be able to be in that world again is something that, I think, will always be on the table in some capacity."
The character's impact in the original film and his status as one of the greatest MCU villains should hopefully lead to Marvel Studios approaching Jordan about a return. And the Wakanda series would be the perfect place to further flesh out his character.
