While Mephisto isn’t a BP villain, he does have ties to an actual member of BP’s rogues gallery, that being Achebe. That makes Mephisto and Achebe interesting foils to T’Challa and Bast. Plus the thing with Namor and Doom, they are either big enough characters to support their own film or are to heavily tied to another franchise (F4 in Dooms case). That and as somebody stated earlier, if Doom and Namor are to show up in BP films they have to either die or get there asses beat SOUNDLY by T’Challa and limp home with a vibranium foot up the ass since I know they won’t be killed. And none of this noble negro bullshit that happened in the comics. But I know for a fact Namor and Doom fans wouldn’t want the cinematic debut of their favorite characters to be of them getting humbled in front of millions worldwide, so why bother?
Furthermore, Marvel Studios has made a name for themselves by turning obscure characters into household names so they should keep the trend going by doing so with BP’s rogues gallery. Let’s see what kind of havoc characters like Solomon Prey, Madam Slay, and Moses Magnum can wreak. If the first film could do just fine without relying on the larger Marvel universe I don’t see why that should chance for the sequel.

Yes I am a personal trainer to super heroes and other high powered extra terrestrial beings!
I trained Superman to give it his all to eventually defeat Doomsday... The Predator to hunt Aliens just for sport and fun... Godzilla to reach alpha male status and make Rodan his Beyotch... Luke Skywalker to handle his daddy issues... But no matter how hard I tried I could not get the Hulk to rematch Thanos he just did not want that smoke or those hands again!
As far as Flex junior (aka Discount T'chadwick Boseman) goes he is in training to get his Bruce Wayne on in case I get King T'chaka'ed by some vengeful foe seeking after my random free weights and other pseudo expensive trinkets I got at the comic swap meet!
The impending launch of our fitness app will feature Black Panther paraphernalia although we cannot technically say the name Black Panther due to our lawyers not having the same type of game that Disney/Marvel lawyers have!
And YES... His mom will coach him to say something in the South African language of Xhosa with proper and exact authenticity for the folks back home as a "perfectly legal" tease by default and whatnot!
Ahem...
Flex Junior: "Workout Forever!"
Cough cough and stuff...
Mickey 'Money' Mouse: "I see what you did there... Yaw'll aint slick I got my eye on you people!"
I will most likely create a separate thread in the Creator Showcase area of the CBR forum for my own character soon so brace yourself!
Get Hectic!
We are the Dora Milaje. We are the daughters of the 18 tribes of Wakanda. We are the teeth of the Panther God. Out of 10,000 years of sweat and bloodshed and battle are we born. We are the women of this ancient land. Deadliest of the species. And our time has come!
On another note: Should T'Challa get a new costume in the next film? He already has 2 BP habits, and changing/upgrading would follow the likes of other MCU movie heroes like Iron Man and Spider-man who have used multiple costumes in their various film appearances. What changes/additions would you all like to see happen? A ceremonial cape perhaps? Some fur? Both?

Also wanna see the suit start doing stuff like this.
