With
Michael B. Jordan's 'Erik "Killmonger" Stevens' or
'N'Jadaka' the son of
'N'Jobu' (and cousin of
'King T'Challa') the
Marvel Cinematic Universe finally gets a well rounded villain, with clear motivations and purpose. In addition to his family history, this movie version of the
Black Panther's arch-enemy was also given a past in which he was trained in black-ops, intent on killing
T'Challa and claiming the throne of
Wakanda for himself and using its advanced weaponry to takeover the world.

African mask at a heist at a
British Museum with
'Ulysses Klaue' when they are stealing
Wakandan vibranium which is part of an
African historical exhibit, adding it to his military-inspired tactical vest and camo fatigues look.
Ruth Carter was
Costume Designer on
Ryan Coogler's box office juggernaut and you can also check out
Killmonger's Black Panther camouflage costume and more wardrobe from the
Marvel Studios film on display.
This costume was photographed on display as part of a larger
Black Panther costume exhibit at
Hollywood's El Capitan Theatre on February 23, 2018. Stay tuned for even more looks from the movie in the days to come.
