New BLACK PANTHER Featurette Highlights the Warriors of Wakanda

Marvel released a new BLACK PANTHER featurette that gives us some details about the fierce Warriors of Wakanda.

The latest Black Panther video released by Marvel focuses on the warriors of Wakanda, or the Dora Milaje, the name of the Wakandan special forces. Here, we get to see The Walking Dead‘s Danai Gurira talk about her role as the Dora Milaje general, Okoye, which we have to say is pretty freaking badass.

We also get a glimpse of Lupita Nyong’o‘s character Nakia, who apparently isn’t as set on the traditional warrior ways as Okoye, and often challenges it.

From what we can tell so far, this movie is going to set some pretty high standards for diversity in movies such as these and in general, and we can’t wait to see it!

Tickets for Black Panther are already available for purchase for opening day, which is February 16th.
