Dora Milaje

Marvel knows the Black Panther universe is one of the few active properties that are both cash cows and critical darlings. It introduced Ironheart into the MCU in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, has the animated series Eyes of Wakanda debuting in August, and landed Denzel Washington for Black Panther 3. It looks like Wakanda is exporting more than just vibranium these days, so why not keep the party going with an origin series for the most badass security team in all of the MCU — the Dora Milaje?

So far, this sisterhood of traveling spears are the ones getting their hands dirty when Wakanda needs protecting, and come off a bit omnipresent. Remember, this elite all-female royal guard showed up in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier unannounced to take Baron Zemo into custody for killing King T’Chaka and proceeded to manhandle three superheroes, removing Bucky Barnes’s vibranium arm like it was a clip-on tie in the process. A series following the origins of this group (a la Dune: Prophecy) would be rich with stories to tell, but so would a simple live-action series where they just go around the world killing villains who try to steal vibranium. As was said in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier: “The Dora Milaje have jurisdiction wherever the Dora Milaje find themselves to be.”
