Early on when she was cast, after it was initially thought she could be playing Shuri, there was another that said she was likely cast as an antagonist. I cannot for the life of me find it, but if anyone else can please do.
Thus up until this trailer I had no idea who she was playing as I didn't keep up with it as much as I should have. So when I heard she was playing Nakia, it all made sense. So its more about at this point if that reporting was true in a "where there's smoke there's fire" kind of way. Or not.
However Nakia is the perfect kind of antagonist. She can play both sides very easily, and being the supportive and loving Nakia at the start where she's always around T'Challa and always encouraging him, being the one that betrays him? It would be something the MCU would very much do, that and the prospect of seeing Lupita Nyongo play a villain is something that is personally very appealing to me, and Nakia is the perfect kind of villain.
They don't have to paint her as the "obsessed fan girl" like the comics, they can switch that out for 'cold' as Nakia can do either tbh.
So we'll have to see when the movie comes out.
I'm more disappointed that the amazing trailer didn't trend, nor has it surpassed much beyond 6 million views. That is the only thing that's truly bumming me out right now. I would have wanted it to surpass the Thor Ragnarok 2nd trailer and trend like it did. So I'm really sad about that. I hope it still does though.

Well I was able to find [URL="https://www.cinemablend.com/news/1537840/who-michael-b-jordan-and-lupita-nyongo-are-actually-playing-in-black-panther"]cinemablend talking about Lupita Nyong'o potentially playing an antagonist way back in July '16[/URL] but that's it. Most articles make a note of the comic version's dark background and unrequited love but that was the only one that said she could potentially be an antagonist in the movie. That I could find anyway.

It was reported to have trended at the 19th position in tweets worldwide on monday so thats that.
Wonder woman trailer didn't break any records on social media but look how did it afterwards. All that matters now is if the movie to good.

So one half-baked article speculating that Nakia might maybe possibly conceivably be playing a villain, before any movie details came out?
Another half-baked article that she may be playing Shuri, before any movie details came out?
And a half dozen or more articles and interviews stating that she [B][I]is[/I][/B] the love interest, ever since the movie details came out?
Hmmm....

Speaking of Hong Kong, is anybody worried about how the Chinese posters will look?

Remember when I said that hopefully Nakia doesn't get killed by Creedmonger? That was in reference to the trailer where her and Shuri are heroically battling him.

Which i guess is kinda messed up since she allegedly betrays the royal family and gives him the suit to begin with... in-between hiking up snowy mountains protecting the royal family.

It’s like people are so adamantly opposed to Black panther being with someone other than a mutant.

[QUOTE=BlackClaw;3174507]It’s like people are so adamantly opposed to Black panther being with someone other than a mutant.[/QUOTE]
It would be impossible for him to be with a mutant in the movies at least, since Fox owns the mutants on the movie side of things. So anyone in that camp will unfortunately be disappointed. Though they're good on the comic book side of things at least.

[QUOTE=Ezyo1000;3172012][B]They did seem to take some concepts From Stelfreeze as well. The Kimoyo beads and the Force push. I say they are his design's and not Coates because Stelfreeze actually created done interesting designs[/B][/QUOTE]
Thanks for the enlightenment.

Especially if it's a Wakandan woman.
Why do you think people don't want him with a Wakandan woman? They all hate Monica... but they hate a Wakandan woman more.
Why is that? Is it because of something Coates said?
hehehe

[QUOTE=Rumble;3172020]The dream is dead :(
Idris as Blade tho? That could work! :eek:
Like... holy shit!
And yea, I haven't bought a BP book since issue 7 or 8 of season 1, gotta put my money where my mouth is. I haven't bought a DC book in years... nor will i pay to watch another DC movie (tho I heard Wonder Woman was good). But i'm getting off topic again lol.
[B]At this point we don't even need the comics. Cinematic movie, lego movie, animated tv show... we are one video game franchise a way from the comics essentially being obsolete for the full BP experience! (and it virtually will be already)[/B][/QUOTE]
I've been on that page for the last few years. The MCU film guys are giving us the core essence of these characters, or at the very least, new perspectives the comic writers never considered.
I could only take the Hulk in doses, on the comics' side. But damn, I love the MCU Hulk & Banner.
After years of T'Challa being deconstructed & chumped out in the books, the MCU is giving us the big-time hero-king we should have been reading about post-Hudlin.
Man, I'd rather watch Civil War over & over than read the books.
I'd be content if Idris could at least do a voice over in an animated Blade film.
