We’re all linking up with our peoples to go see Black Panther as a family, right? Of course, we are! Get those outfits together because you know we’re going all out. Speaking of family, let’s take a look at who’s who in the world of Wakanda.
No one hates T’Challa more than Erik Killmonger—formerly known as N’ Jadaka (his Wakandan name). He ends up in Harlem after his family is exiled from Wakanda for his father’s crimes. Killmonger spends his life biding time before he can return to Wakanda and exact his revenge.
Shuri is T’ Challa’s half-sister and she is a badass when it comes to designing weapons – she is head of the Wakanda Design Group. “She’s the smartest person in the world, smarter than Tony Stark but she’s a sixteen-year-old girl which we thought was really interesting” is how Black Panther producer Nate Moore describes her.
