Black Panther: The characters in the comic books vs the movie

Black Panther, the 18th film of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, is due for release on February 16 in India. After getting introduced to the lead character in Captain America: Civil War, here we get a chance to witness the world of Wakanda in all its glory. Here's how the characters of the Black Panther comic books will look like in the movie.

Black Panther aka King T'Challa is the King of Wakanda. He dons a suit made of vibranium in the comic books and in the movie, his suit is even more chic. Chadwick Boseman plays this titular role in the movie.

Eric Killmonger is T'Challa's nemesis in the comic books. In the film, Michael B Jordan plays this role.

Ulysses Klaue is a supervillain in the comic books. In the movie, this role is played by Andy Serkis. We have already seen in the trailer that Klaue's arm is a weapon made of vibranium and it was already revealed in Age of Ultron that Klaue stole quite a sizeable amount of the precious metal from Wakanda.

Nakia is a part of the Dora Milaje in the comic books. In the comics, her character is obsessed with Black Panther and she plays a vamp but, in the movie, it's significantly different. Lupita Nyong'o plays the role of T'Challa's love interest and she's also a spy who gets information about the rest of the world back to Wakanda.

Okoye is a part of the Dora Milaje, the King's guard in the comic books. In the movie too, her character is quite similar. Danai Gurira plays this role in the movie.

Zuri was a confidante of King T'Chaka in the comic books and also maintains a friendship with Thor. In the film, he acts like a father figure to T'Challa and is being played by Forest Whitaker.
