This pic is SUPER appropriate lol. Two Doras hugging up.
I can't wait to see them fight.
You can count me as someone who doesn't really care for Monica that much. That said, I'm not sure if she's completely off the table yet. Part of the whole Okoye/T'Challa/Nakia dynamic was Monica. She was pretty much the catalyst for Nakia's heel turn.
Then again, the fact that they cast the Doras and Killmonger first lets you know how they feel about priority. But it'll be very interesting to see what other casting news happen. If Monica doesn't make the cut then that means they may go a completely different route in kick starting Nakia's transformation (and thats something i hope happens regardless of whether Monica is involved or not).
I think that rumor about Lupita playing the primary love interest was legit. I think Nakia will probably be in a romance with T'Challa before Killmonger turns her into a baddie.
It would be interesting to see how Black Panther approaches being forced to fight the woman he loves.
