Winston Duke returns as 'M'Baku' the powerful warrior and leader of the Jabari mountain tribe in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. In addition to fighting the new underwater threat of 'Namor' and the warriors of Talokan, he also promised his fallen 'King T'Challa' that he would look after his sister, 'Princess Shuri', and provide guidance and counsel when needed, now sitting on the Wakandan Tribal Council.

Attuma costume worn by Alex Livinalli in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever on display...

In Black Panther: Wakanda Forever we learn that the African nation is not the only kingdom rich in Vibranium. The underwater realm of Talokan also uses the metallic ore to create advanced technology, weaponry and jewelry. The blue-skinned, water-breathing denizens of Talokan were transformed by a Vibranium-rich plant which changed the colour of their skin, allowed them to breathe underwater and to withstand the cold and pressure of the ocean's depths. A supervillain in the comic books, in the MCU film 'Attuma' (played by Alex Livinalli) is one of the fiercest Talokanil warriors and an advisor to the long-lived mutant 'King Namor'.
